Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) vs Mumbai Indians (MI) Match Live Cricket Score Updates: Krunal Pandya played an innings of a lifetime when he slammed 73 runs while struggling with cramps, helping Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeat Mumbai Indians by 2 wickets in a thrilling encounter. Corbin Bosch had almost brought back MI to the match with 4 wickets but it was ultimately in vain as Mumbai were eliminated from play-offs contention.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar continued his blistering form, taking 4 wickets for 23 as Royal Challengers Bengaluru restricted Mumbai Indians for 166/7, a score that looks a little below par at the moment. Tilak Varma scored 57 while Naman Dhir got 47 while most of the Mumbai Indians top order failed to create much of an impact, something that has been the theme of this season’s IPL. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won the toss and opted to bowl first against the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium.

“MI looks at a different side when Rohit scores runs. When Rohit gets going, it feels like everyone in MI gets energised. Also, if Hardik and Suryakumar Yadav don’t play the game, it’s not right to go back to Rohit Sharma as captain just because no one is there. I am not even sure if he’ll accept captaining the side,” Badrinath said on his YouTube channel. READ MORE.
