MI vs RCB LIVE: How do MI recover?

Mumbai Indians haven’t performed too badly, but somehow find themselves with 4 losses in 5 games. Three of their defeats have been extremely narrow, but as it stands, they still have a mountain to climb.

Pandya, Tilak, SKY look in good touch. Bumrah is back. If Rohit finds form and a little luck goes their way, a turnaround is not impossible. 

MI’s next game is also against DC, on April 13.

MI vs RCB LIVE: RCB back to winning ways

“Is this the year?” Well it looks good from an RCB point-of-view. Batters are stepping up, bowlers are delivering, and they are winning in crunch situations as well. They stay third in the table, but tied on points with DC and GT. 

RCB clash against DC next, on April 10, at the Chinnaswamy!

MI vs RCB LIVE: RCB beat MI!

Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat Mumbai Indians! Excellent final over by Krunal Pandya, held his nerve and picked up three wickets. RCB become the third team to win three games, MI have now lost 4 out of 5. 

But what a game of cricket!

RCB (221/5) beat MI (209/9) by 12 runs.

MI vs RCB LIVE: RCB WIN!

Krunal Pandya gets a third wicket in the over! Naman Dhir kept MI hopes alive with a four, but then perishes trying to go big. Yash Dayal takes the catch at fine-leg. RCB have surely won this now.

MI 209/9 (19.5)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Krunal takes 2 in 2!

INCREDIBLE! Krunal Pandya dismisses Mitch Santner and Deepak Chahar in back-to-back balls. Santner caught at long-off by Tim David, and then Chahar tries to go big but is undone by excellent teamwork in the deep. Phil Salt took the initial catch, lost his balance, throws it back to David who completes the catch!

MI need 17 off 3 balls. Naman Dhir on strike.

MI 205/8 (19.3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: MI need 19 off the last

Mitch Santner has smashed a six! Mumbai Indians need 19 runs off the final over. What a game. It is down to the wire, but who bowls the last? Hazlewood is done, Bhuvi and Dayal are done. Pressure on Patidar, pressure on Naman Dhir and Santner. 

What a game.

MI 203/6 (19)

MI vs RCB LIVE: HARDIK GONE!

ANOTHER TWIST! Huge blow for Mumbai Indians, Hardik Pandya departs! He’s played an incredible knock off 42 runs in 15 balls, but this is the end of his knock. Josh Hazlewood has delivered in the crunch moment.

MI 194/6 (18.1)

MI vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

Tilak Varma OUT! Oh that is another twist to an incredible game. Bhuvneshwar Kumar gets a wicket, and the set Tilak is gone. But hold on, Naman Dhir has smashed a six off his first ball! Straight SIX.

MI need 28 off 12 balls.

MIN 194/5 (18)

MI vs RCB LIVE: MI need 41 off 18

Mumbai Indians need 41 runs off 18 balls. This is anyone’s game, but MI are edging closer to a scintillating fightback run-chase. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been handed the ball for one final over tonight.

MI 187/4 (17.2)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 50 for Tilak!

50 for Tilak Varma in 26 balls! And the next ball is dispatched for six more! That is 92m into the stands. What an incredible hit. What a comeback story this is turning out to be for Tilak Varma. Retired out last game, MI’s hero tonight?

MI 181/4 (16.5)

MI vs RCB LIVE: SIX

Tilak Varma into the 40s! Bhuvneshwar Kumar was bowling an excellent over until then, but now Tilak has sent it a long way over deep mid-wicket. Cracking sound off the bat, and MI are still in striking distance. And he ends the over with a 4 too. 

MI vs RCB LIVE: MI are back in the chase!

19 off Krunal Pandya’s over. Mumbai Indians’ run-rate is above 10 now. They still need 65 runs off 30 balls, but the two men in the middle are on a rampage. RCB have turned to Bhuvneshwar Kumar to try and provide a moment of magic.

MI 157/4 (15.1)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Hardik vs Krunal

It’s brother against brother, and Hardik draws first blood! TWO SIXES off the first two balls. 32 off 7 balls, 50 partnership up between Hardik and Tilak in just 16 balls! The MI captain has been set loose, this is demonic.

MI 151/4 (14.3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 6, 4, 6, 4 Hardik!

Hardik Pandya is off the mark in style! 6, 4, 6, 4 off Josh Hazlewood! Mumbai Indians’ run chase is difficult, but do not rule them out. Hardik is going crazy in the middle. He’s 20 off 4 balls. Unreal hitting.

MI 138/3 (13.5)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 6, 4, 4 Tilak!

Tilak Varma is gitting really well today! Starts off Suyash’s final over with a maximum over mid-wicket, and then towards extra cover for 4. Then follows two runs, before Tilak times a reverse sweep to perfection and gets 4 more! Tilak certainly won’t be retired out today.

MI 116/4 (13)

MI vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

SKY GONE! RCB get their wicket, and Yash Dayal is absolutely pumped. Once again, Suryakumar Yadav goes for a big shot, once again he gets next to no timing on it. Liam Livingstone takes the catch. MI are 4-down!

MI 97/4 (12)

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: Big chat at RCB

A big discussion taking place in the RCB camp. Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar are having to come and have a chat with Dayal and Jitesh. This could be a game-changing error. Tilak smashes a great shot for 4 on the next ball!

MI 96/3 (11.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: DROP!

DISASTER! Oh dear, that is a huge chance put down. Suryakumar Yadav completely mistimes a big shot, sends it straight up, but Jitesh Sharma and Yash Dayal collide trying to catch the same ball. Oh, could this come back to bite RCB?

MI vs RCB LIVE: MISSED CHANCE!

Suryakumar Yadav sent it straight to Krunal Pandya at deep mid-wicket but he hasn’t taken it! Krunal should’ve grabbed it, MI should be 4-down, but he seemed to lose sight of the ball due to the floodlights.

MI 90/3 (11)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 4, Tilak!

Great timing from Tilak Varma. Gets a boundary on ball 1. Remember, he was retired out by MI in the previous game, so he’ll have a point to prove himself. But MI under the pump, as RCB get another successful over.

MI need 138 runs in 10 overs.

MI 84/3 (10)

MI vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

Will Jacks departs! Royal Challengers Bengaluru get their third wicket! Jacks was getting frustrated not being able to hit Krunal, and now the latter gets his man. Tried the big shot, not enough timing, straight to Virat Kohli at deep square leg.

MI 79/3 (9.4)

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: SKY taking charge

Suryakumar Yadav seems to have only one tactic against Suyash Sharma. Coming across his stumps and going for the sweep on every occasion. Gets one boundary, but Suyash bowls a decent over otherwise. Just 5 runs off the over, as RCB pull things back again.

MI 78/2 (9)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 14 off the over

Expensive opening over for Krunal Pandya. Will Jacks also coming to the party, gets 4 runs with a cheeky reverse sweep. Much-needed big over for MI, who were just starting to lose track of the required run rate.

MI 73/2 (8)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Can Will Jacks step up?

Will Jacks has made 18 off 11 balls, but he hasn’t given the explosive charge that MI desperately need in this run chase. Remember, he was purchased for Rs 5.25 crore at the mega auction. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav picks up two boundaries off Krunal Pandya. One down the ground, then over the covers.

MI vs RCB LIVE: Unsuccessful DRS

Suryakumar Yadav survives. Jitesh Sharma once again went up animatedly for a caught-behind, but the umpire gave not out. RCB take the DRS once more, but this one shows no edge on UltraEdge. 

MI 57/2 (6.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Suyash Sharma in!

Impact Sub for RCB! Mystery spinner Suyash Sharma comes in, Devdutt Padikkal goes out. A great hand with the bat by Padikkal today. Now, will Jacks and SKY go after Suyash? They need to start playing the big shots.

MI 55/2 (6.1)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Great over by Hazlewood

Magnificent spell so far by Josh Hazlewood. Puts the brakes on MI, and it’s the first over of the innings without a boundary. Started off with four consecutive dots against Suryakumar, and then only two singles. 1/6 in his two overs for the Aussie.

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: 50 up for MI!

SIX and 50 up for Mumbai Indians! Dayal was bowling a good over, but Will Jacks ends it with a bang. Short ball, whipped away for a maximum by Jacks. Important for MI to build a partnership with two experienced players at the crease.

MI 52/2 (5)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Credit to Jitesh

A big DRS call going RCB’s way, and it seems like it was Jitesh Sharma who urged them to go for the review. Celebration towards Jitesh after the DRS, as he’s patted heavily on the back. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav gets off the mark with a boundary.

MI 43/2 (4.2)

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: OUT!

Hazlewood strikes! DRS masterstroke! Looked to be pitching outside leg-stump at first, and the umpire gave not out too. But RCB go up with the DRS, and guess what, it is three reds and out! Josh Hazlewood impresses yet again.

MI 38/2 (3.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Wicketless start for Bhuvneshwar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar fails to get a wicket in his opening two overs. Goes for a bit of runs as well. Josh Hazlewood now introduced by Rajat Patidar, to bowl to the left-hander Rickelton. Has been arguably the most impressive pacer of IPL 2025 so far.

MI 34/1 (3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 4, 4 Rickelton!

Great shots, Ryan Rickelton! Timed exquisitely through the covers, two balls in a row. Pressure on the two overseas batters – Rickelton and Jacks – to up the tempo. Those kind of shots will help. Bhuvi looking for answers.

MI 33/1 (2.3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

YASH DAYAL HITS BACK! Rohit Sharma is gone! Swings back in, takes a soft inside edge  and knocks over Rohit Sharma’s leg stump. He was looking so good, but has to go early again. 9-ball 17 today for the 37-year-old.

MI vs RCB LIVE: 4, 4 Rohit!

Rohit Sharma, another good shot! Rohit shuffles across his stumps and whacks Yash Dayal over mid-wicket for 4. Next one is crashed through the covers! Sweet sound off the blade, Rohit is in good touch today.

MI 21/0 (1.3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Expensive first over

4 for Rickelton! Straight down the ground, the fielder at mid-on tried to stop it, but it goes past him for a boundary. 13 off Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s opening over, MI are up and running. Good start for the home side.

MI 13/0 (1)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Rohit nearly out!

Rohit Sharma nearly out first ball to Bhuvneshwar Kumar! Takes a thick outside edge, Jitesh Sharma goes for the dive, gets his gloves to it but cannot hold on. Rohit hits back with a tremendous shot two balls later, gets SIX!

MI 8/0 (0.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Rohit, Rickelton opening!

MI are opening with No. 45 Rohit Sharma and No. 44 Ryan Rickelton. The duo need to provide a flashy start here, with the asking rate being more than 11 runs per over. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will take the new ball.

MI vs RCB LIVE: Who will open?

Rohit Sharma is expected to open the batting alongside Ryan Rickelton. Who bats at No. 3 for MI will be a big dilemma, with Will Jacks the natural choice, Tilak Varma more than capable, and Naman Dhir in good form.

Suryakumar Yadav has been great so far too, and he could come good today.
