Match 14 of IPL 2024 saw Mumbai Indians (MI) host Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The five-time champions, who played at their home for the first time this season, did not have a good outing, at all.
After being put into bat, MI finished with a mediocre 125/9 on a batting track like Wankhede. Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal were RR's pick of the bowlers, with three wickets each.
The Royals' batsmen performed, as synonymous as their bowlers. RIyan Parag, who is in the form of his life, performed outrageously well at the Wankhede. The youngster thrived the visitors to a victory, scoring an unbeaten 39-ball 54.

MI vs RR: Live Updates
10:57 PM: RR 127-4 (15.3). Rajasthan Royals beat Mumbai Indians by 6 wickets! The visitors have thrown the kitchen sink at the home side, with RR being better in all three departments of the game. Riyan Parag spearheaded RR's run chase at the Wankhede, remaining unbeaten on 54. RR move to the top of the table, with this hefty win. Mumbai Indians' miseries, are more than moderate at this point.
10:30 PM: RR 84-3 (11). Rajasthan Royals are all over Mumbai Indians at the moment. Riyan Parag and Ravi Ashwin have avenged, after three star RR batsmen walked back early. Akash Madhwal took out Josh Buttler right after the powerplay, but there has been little joy for MI fans, ever since. Rajasthan Royals would now ook to switch gears, aiming for a massive jump in their NRR.
10:10 PM: END OF POWERPLAY, RR 47-2 (6). Jasprit Bumrah has bowled three of the powerplay overs, as Mumbai Indians aim to get back in the game. However, his impact was negated overall, as RR have managed to score above the required rate, and are well positioned in the run chase. Akash Madhwal has bowled impressively so far, but only counts for little in the grander scheme of things.
9:35 PM: WELCOME BACK TO THE RUN CHASE! After a brilliant bowling performance, RR's openers are here to seal it up for the visitors. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler take the crease, as Kwena Maphaka prepares to take the stride for Mumbai Indians.
9:20 PM: END OF INNINGS, MI 125-9 (20). This is a paltry total by MI. After Rohit, Naman, Brevis, and Kishan were sent back in the powerplay, MI just could not recover from the damage. Tilak Varma and skipper Hardik Pandya seemed to be rebuilding the innings, but they were dismissed just when they were starting to go big. An absolutely phenomenal bowling performance from the Royals, and it will take a miraculous effort from Jasprit Bumrah and Co. to help MI win their first game this season.
9:01 PM: MI 111-7 (16). Tim David will have to smack a few balls out of the park if MI are to post a respectable total on the board. This has been a lackadaisical batting display from the five-time champions in their first home game this season.
8:32 PM: MI 83-5 (11). Rajasthan Royals are all over Mumbai Indians at the moment. Hardik Pandya looked good during his 34-run knock, but he is back into the hut. It's a strange decision to send Piyush Chawla ahead of Tim David. Can Tilak Varma hold one end and help MI post a good total?
8:05 PM: END OF POWERPLAY, MI 46-4 (6). What a chaotic powerplay that was. MI lost both Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir on golden ducks in the first over. Impact Player Dewald Brevis departed on the first ball, too, as the left-arm duo of Trent Boult and Nandre Burger wreaked havoc on a juicy Wankhede surface. Skipper Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma will now look to rebuild the innings.
7:33 PM: The crowd have gone berserk as Rohit Sharma comes on strike. The Wankhede crowd are chanting "Rohit, Rohit", which really shows how much they love their former captain.
7:30 PM: Alright, we are underway! Trent Boult to start with the new ball for RR. Ishan Kishan on strike.
Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya was booed by the Wankhede crowd at the toss. Here's how the events at the toss unfolded.
