MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 Highlights: RCB end Wankhede drought, beat MI by 12 runs in thriller

MI vs RCB Live Score: Suyash Sharma had kept SKY quiet in his first two overs but this time, he gets sent everywhere by Tilak. The second ball of the over is hit hard and flat over wide long on for the lowest, most brutal of sixes. Then he smashes the third ball over cover for four. Two runs off the fourth and then Tilak reverse sweeps the fifth ball to the boundary. Takes a single last ball to keep strike.

He was retired out last match, it looks like Tilak has a point to prove today. He is on 31 off 16. Hardik Pandya at the other end yet to face a ball.

MI 116/4 in 13 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Oh the drama! Incredible this from Suryakumar Yadav. He had miscued this same shot and survived to tell the tale because of the freak collision. He goes for the same shot the very next ball he faces and perishes. This time the ball was on a length wide outside off. He is caught at mid off. Dayal is off on a celebratory sprint that takes him from the Wankhede all the way to Nariman Point.

Suryakumar Yadav c Livingstone b Yash Dayal 28 (26)

MI 99/4 in 12 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: The wicketkeeper and bowler come together and neither take the catch. Suryakumar Yadav has walked in the valley of the shadow of death and found a way to take a u-turn and survive. Dayal returns for the 12th over, his second ball is a slowish length delivery around middle. SKY swipes leg side, leading edge and the ball goes oh so high up in the air. Jitesh calls for it, Dayal seems to have not heard that at all and their teammates look on in horror as they both converge on the same spot with their eyes firmly on the ball up in the sky. They smash into each other and the ball lands safely. SKY seemed to have accepted his fate judging by his expression right after making contact with the ball, what a let off.

MI 92/3 in 11.2 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Krunal Pandya gets the wicket that comes out of the pressure created by Suyash Sharma and him. Bouncer from Krunal out of nowhere fourth ball of the 10th, Jacks doesn't really know what to do with it. He plays a sort of a pull shot and puts it down Kohli's throat at deep backward square leg. Wily stuff from Pandya. MI in a right hot mess here.

Jacks c Kohli b Pandya 22 (18)

MI 79/3 in 9.4 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: The batters managed to get three fours off the eighth over by Krunal Pandya but they aren't finding too much success against Suyash. SKY slogs at the second ball of the ninth from the spinner and finds the gap past deep backward square leg for a four. But nothng for them after that except a single off the fourt. Jacks on 22 off 15, SKY on 22 off 20.

MI's chase going nowhere.

MI 78/2 in 9 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Suyash Sharma brought in as Impact sub for Devdutt Padikkal and he bowls the seventh over. Singles off the first three balls and then a huge shout for caught behind against SKY fourth ball. MI vs RCB Live Score: Suyash Sharma brought in as Impact sub for Devdutt Padikkal and he bowls the seventh over. Singles off the first three balls and then a huge shout for caught behind against SKY fourth ball. It was a sweep shot that SKY couldn't connect against a length ball that comes in. Replays show that the ball has missed the bat and moreoever, impact is well outside the line so no LBW either. Just two more runs in that over for MI though. Their required rate goes about 12.50 now and they are still going at only 8.42.

MI 59/2 in 7 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Josh Hazlewood keeps Suryakumar pinned to the crease for four deliveries. MI manage to get two singles towards the end of that over. SKY has scored just six in 10 thus far, Will Jacks at the other end on 14 off seven.

MI need 168 from 84, they are going at 9 runs an over, their rr is 12.

MI vs RCB Live Score: That is an incredible review and it is largely because of Jitesh's incredible input from behind the stumps.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Back to back fours and then gone. That has been the story of Rohit Sharma's life off late but full credit here to Yash Dayal. Rohit hit the second ball through midwicket for four and the third past extra cover for another. Dayal then goes full, swinging into middle and leg. Rohit tries to go down the ground, the movement did him and his stumps are a mess.

Rohit b Yash Dayal 17 (9)

MI 21/1 in 1.4 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Rohit Sharma is out there, facing up to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Ryan Rickleton at the other end. If Rohit gets off to the kind of starts he tries to get off to, well RCB will then have a mountain to climb and so they would want to send him back into the hut as soon as possible.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Here is a summary of what the great man said: “That was pretty good. After losing a wicket on the second ball, we countered pretty nicely. Dev played a brilliant impact knock for us, really changed the momentum towards us. I got a few going as well. That partnership was really important for us to set that total on the board. My strength is to get my touch and feel of the ball early on, then I can play the shots I that I want to. I tried to innovate a bit, tried to play different shots off spin as well and then tried to hit different areas of the ground. You need to keep evolving your game and keep up with the demands of the situation in T20 cricket. When I time the ball nicely early on, I have better chances to contribute.(On Padikkal) When Salty goes early, one of the guys needs to have an impact straightaway and Dev kind of did that for us. He's done that for 2-3 games now, a big score is around the corner for him. He deserves it, he's hitting the ball so well. That partnership was important for us to go deeper into the innings, get guys like Jitesh Livi and Tim David towards the back-end of the innings. What Rajat did is what Rajat does most often. It was a great innings by those two as well - Rajat and Jitesh really got us those extra 20-25 runs. One of their spinners was out of the game. It was difficult for the chinaman to bowl. That gave us 20-25 runs. The wicket wasn't as straightforward. Hopefully we break the jinx today.”

MI vs RCB Live Score: Bumrah nearly got a wicket off the last ball of the innings there but Jitesh reviewed it succesfully. He finishes unbeaten on 40 off 19. Bumrah finishes unbeaten on 0/29. What an innings this has been from RCB overall, pure power-hitting almost. MI need to chase down a target of 222 to deny RCB a first win at the Wankhede in over a decade.

MI vs RCB Live Score: 15 runs and a wicket off his fourth over of the match for Boult. Boult starts off with a wide outside off. Then Jitesh gets down low and sends the ball flying over deep midwicket for six with a truly astonishing shot. Then he walks miles outside off third ball and laps it over fine leg for another incredible six. Jitesh takes a single fifth ball, the last ball is wide and then Patidar's pull goes straight up in the air. Rickleton runs a mile back from his spot behind the stumps, dives forward and takes a sharp catch.

MI vs RCB Live Score: It looks like MI will have a target close to 230 here. Jitesh takes a single off the first ball of that over and then Patidar brings up his fifty in 24 balls by tonking the second ball, which is short, towards the sight screen for a six. Then he smashes the third ball over cow corner for another six. The fourth is sent away from deep backward square leg for a four. Pandya bowls the fifth ball wide and then the batters take a single. The last ball is edged but Jitesh survives the miscued pull shot as it went just over short third man for four.

Patidar on 61 off 28, Jitesh on 17 off six.

RCB 192/4 in 17 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Patidar takes a single off the first ball. Jitesh then sends the second ball past backward point for four. The third ball is sent over deep cover for a six. Three runs off the next two balls and then Patidar tucks the last ball away fine for a four.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Livingstone has been trying to scoop and pull Pandya ever since he came into the middle. He goes all the way across the stumps third ball, ends up doing this strange shot somewhere between a ramp and a pull and a scoop. caught by Bumrah at short third.

Livingstone c Bumrah b Pandya 0 (2)

RCB 144/4 in 14.3 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: The MI captain gets the big wicket but let's face it, Kohli has done exactly what RCB needed him to do. Back of a length delivery from the MI captain outside off, Kohli walks across to try and work it fine but doesn't get the required control. He is caught at deep midwicket.

Kohli c Naman Dhir b Pandya 67 (42)

RCB 143/3 in 14.1 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: This is looking ominous now for MI. Kohli is in the zone, Patidar has settled in. Pandya hits his opposite number on the head as Patidar tried to scoop the third ball and it smashes him right on the front of his helmet. But, he recovers quite easily and hits the fourth ball for a four. Single last ball, he is on 19 off 16, Kohli on 60 off 38 balls.

RCB 123/2 in 13 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Kohli had shoulder barged Sam Konstas for the way he was treating Bumrah earlier this year, remember. Now he shoulder barges Bumrah himself, all in good humour though. Four singles come off the first four balls of that over, with the little shoulder barge and exchange of smiles between Kohli and Bumrah coming off the fourth delivery. Rajat Patidar takes a single off the last ball to keep strike.

Patidar on six off eight, Kohli on 55 off 34.

MI vs RCB Live Score: That is brave from Puthur. He tosses up the last ball of that over despite just being hit for a six two deliveries earlier. Padikkal tries to go straight back over the bowler's head but the ball drops and dips on him. Not the connection he wanted and Jacks takes the catch at long on.

Padikkal c Jacks b Puthur 37 (22)

RCB 95/2 in 9 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Fifty in just 29 balls for the RCB legend. Puthur tosses up the fourth ball of the ninth on middle and off, Kohli slog sweeps it over long for a six. That takes him to exactly 50 in 29 balls.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Nice and clean from Pandya, singles off the first balls, the second of which is a leg bye. Kohli on 44 off 27 at the end of that over, Padikkal on 35 off 19.

Vignesh Puthur to bowl the ninth over now.

RCB 85/1 in 8 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Virat Kohli on 36 off 19, Padikkal on 32 off 15. As many as 20 runs come off the last over of the powerplay. Deepak Chahar bowls the second ball wide after Padikkal takes a single off the first. Kohli runs a single as well off the reloaded ball and then Padikkal deposits the third over mid on for a six. Then he smashes the fourth over deep midwicket for another six and then he gets a big edge while trying to go off side, the ball travels to the boundary anyhow. A single after that.

Mitch Santner to bowl the first over after powerplay now.

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Well surely Virat Kohli enjoyed that! Padikkal gets off strike first ball and then Kohli swats away the first ball he faces this season from Bumrah for a six! Three singles after that in that over. Kohli on 26 off 13, Padikkal on 13 off nine.

RCB 43/1 in 4 overs

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal have made Trent Boult feel the pain there.

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Deepak Chahar bowls the second over, not Jasprit Bumrah, which isn't much of a surprise really. Big LBW shout against Kohli second ball of the over which the umpire doesn't give, no review from MI either. Kohli runs two off the next ball and then he sends the fourth ball past midwicket for his first four of the match. Three runs off the last two and Kohli is on nine off six, Devdutt Padikkal at the other end on four off four.

RCB 17/1 in 2 overs

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: How about it, Salt blasts the first ball between extra cover and mid off for four, then the second bursts through his gates and leaves his stumps in a mess. Trent Boult is irresistible.

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: All right then, Trent Boult sets off on his delivery stride after the countdown ends. Phil Salt on strike with Virat Kohli at the other end.

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: And there are Virat Kohli and Phil Salt. The latter taking strike, he has been so good this season. But can he survive the Bumrah test. We will have to wait to find out because the first over is set to be bowled by Trent Boult.

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Philip Salt, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar(c), Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma(w), Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Yash Dayal

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Hardik Pandya has won the toss and Mumbai Indians are bowling first.

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Natalie Germanos and Simon Katich are on the pitch report today. "In the first game that was played at this stadium in this season, KKR were bowled out for 116 but that was on pitch number 6, this is pitch number 8 today. Dimensions - 66m and 61m square boundaries, 74m straight. It's a little windy today - gusting up to 36 kph, you just wonder whether that's gonna have an effect on the dew. We know that when the dew comes here at the Wankhede, the ball flies everywhere and teams generally like to chase. I think that might have an influence tonight. When we look down at this surface, it's rock hard, it's got an even coverage of grass but it's a little bit bare. Don't expect a lot of spin on this surface and it should be a high-scoring surface. Mumbai have found it tough in the powerplay. They have got two of the all time legends in the IPL - Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar and they've found it hard in the powerplay so far. Whereas when you look at RCB, the best economy rate in the powerplay in this IPL so far and that's with the class and bounce of Josh Hazlewood and the experience of Bhuvneshwar Kumar who has been brilliant. It'll be interesting to see if there's any movement with this gusting wind out here."

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Chase master may have been a tag owned by Virat Kohli but Suryakumar Yadav has been serving that purpose for MI since the start of 2023. Nobody has scored more runs in IPL run chases since the 2023 than the Indian T20 captain (809). Among batters with at least 10 innings in chases, only Nicholas Pooran and Abhishek Sharma have better strike rates than Suryakumar (184.28).

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: This is the first time Virat Kohli is playing T20 cricket since his retirement from T20Is and well, it has been a strange one so far. He started the season with an unbeaten 59 against KKR, anchoring and finishing off RCB's extremely efficient chase. Then he fell for a 30-ball 31 against CSK and that was followed by a six-ball seven against GT.

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Yes, he was the man who couldn't hit the wining runs in the end but the fact remains that MI captain Hardik Pandya took a five-wicket haul and scored an unbeaten 28 off 16 balls in the same match and yet, his side lost the game. Pandya was visibly distraught after that 12-run loss to LSG.

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Bhuvneshwar Kumar goes into this match on 183 wickets in the IPL. He is currently joint-third highest wicket-taker with Ravichandran Ashwin and Dwayne Bravo and so a wicket today would put him in that position outright.

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: MI lead the head-to-head records between these two sides 19-14, but it has been a very even contest in recent years. Since 2022, it stands at 2-2. MI have an 8-3 record at the Wankhede though, with RCB's last win against them at the stadium coming in IPL 2015.

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Tim David has been doing exactly what is expected of him at RCB thus far - make the most of the final deliveries of their innings. He has hit 31 sixes between the 17th and 20th overs of matches in the last three seasons of the IPL - which is the most for any batter. MS Dhoni (27) and Rinku Singh (26) follow him.

IPL 2025, MI vs RCB Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB were utterly flying after first two games of the season. They started out by beating defending champions KKR by seven wickets away from home and then beat CSK at the Chepauk Stadium for the first time since 2008 by 50 runs. Then they returned home and came crashing down, losing to Gujarat Titans by eight wickets.
