Coming into the game with a very experimental lineup, Royals were handed a gigantic total of 189 to chase by their opponents CSK. In the first inning, it felt as if the pitch was a little on the slower side, which meant the target was well above par. Especially considering the poor which the Royals had endured throughout the season, the whole cricketing fraternity was waiting for them to crumble under the pressure. However, what happened next made everyone appreciate not only the grit of this young side but also the game of cricket in general. Rajasthan won the match with 7 wickets and 15 balls to spare. Both youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube making 50s.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">ALIVE! \ud83d\udc97 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KtLn4kpMzy\">pic.twitter.com\/KtLn4kpMzy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rajasthan Royals (@rajasthanroyals) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rajasthanroyals\/status\/1444361400701251586?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 2, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Now with a great morale boost and better NRR than their opponents, Rajasthan Royals is going to take the field against Mumbai Indians the defending champions.

Neither their top order nor middle order has come to their rescue. In the past game, Surya Kumar showed some signs of a revival though and will be looking to repeat it in the match against Rajasthan too. Rohit Sharma knows that their bowling unit is very strong in comparison to that of Rajasthan, so they will be looking to bolster their batting a little and hope for things to go their way.<\/p>\n<p>Rajasthan Royals take on Mumbai Indians for the 51<sup>st<\/sup> match of VIVO IPL, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Geared up and ready for a Royal task! \ud83d\udcaa\ud83d\udd25<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OneFamily?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#OneFamily<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MumbaiIndians?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MumbaiIndians<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IPL2021?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IPL2021<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RRvMI?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RRvMI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OPtG5bX1qg\">pic.twitter.com\/OPtG5bX1qg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mumbai Indians (@mipaltan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mipaltan\/status\/1445214659737387013?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 5, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now with a great morale boost and better NRR than their opponents, Rajasthan Royals is going to take the field against Mumbai Indians the defending champions.
