Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated Rajasthan Royals (RR) by a huge margin of 100 runs in their latest IPL 2025 match. After the win, MI pacer Trent Boult praised the team’s batting unit for setting up a strong total. MI scored 210 runs in their 20 overs at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Boult said the batters gave the team a solid start, which helped them dominate the game.
“As a unit, can’t ask for much more than that. It was set up nicely by the batters. 210 was a great score on that wicket. Great all-around performance. There are a lot of combinations there, a lot of experience, and we’re doing well. 6 from 6 is great,” Boult said after the match.
Boult Talks About Momentum and Team Strategy
Boult stressed how important momentum is in T20 matches. He said success comes from sticking to the team’s plans.
“T20 cricket is about momentum. It’s delivering on the plans we’ve got in place. Lucky enough to have some experience playing here. Always a good challenge, they have a couple of boundary-hitters at the top, knew they were going to come hard.”
He also spoke about Jasprit Bumrah’s impact on the team. “(On Bumrah) Huge addition to our squad, missed out on a few games early, but he needs no introduction. Job’s done well, looking forward to the next one,” he added.
MI Bowlers Seal Big Win
MI’s bowlers delivered a top performance. Karn Sharma, Trent Boult, and Jasprit Bumrah helped the team bowl out Rajasthan Royals for just 117 runs. RR were chasing a huge target of 218.
Boult stood out with three wickets in just two overs. The win ended MI’s long losing streak in Jaipur, where they had not beaten RR since 2012. This was MI’s sixth straight win after a poor start to the season, where they lost four of their first five games.
