In a rain-shortened IPL match held in Guwahati, the Rajasthan Royals triumphed over the Mumbai Indians by 27 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal led the charge with an impressive 77 not out, while 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made headlines with a blistering 39 runs off 14 balls, including a six off his first ball against renowned bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Former Indian captain Anil Kumble commended Sooryavanshi for his audacity and skill, noting that he set up Bumrah rather than the other way around. The Mumbai Indians, restricted to 123 for 9, struggled with their batting, lacking intent as their top order faltered.
