The Mumbai Indians slide continued a very slippery slope in IPL 2025 as RCB sent him for the fourth defeat of the season.
Visitors were kept inside and moved after bowling on a typical Wankhed Belter. The first two balls of the match read 4, W, but RCB did not stop him. Virat Kohli (67 runs in 42) and Devdutt Padikal (37 runs in 22) maintained speed in the powerplay. Silver (4 of 32) fully played his role and continued the charge. Jitesh Sharma (40* of 19) eventually pushed RCB beyond the record chase mark. MI will have to draw its highest successful chase in IPL history.
Josh Hazelwood started with his normal courage in Powerplay and the rest of the lineup complemented the beginning. It seemed that RCB had kept it in the bag very easily, but had punched MI still to pull. Suyash Sharma was relatively affordable for the game, but Tilak Verma (56 for 29) and Hardik Pandya (15 runs 15) put MI on the verge of victory. Krunal Pandya (4 for 45) took three wickets in the last over, to ensure that RCB went away with a win.
