IPL: Mumbai Indians beat Rajasthan Royals by 57 runs

Mumbai Indians achieved an emphatic 57-run win over Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League on Tuesday.

Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians both share the lead with eight points each but Delhi has a game in hand as Mumbai has played six matches.

Top-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav scored a rapid half century and fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah grabbed 4-20 as they anchored defending champion Mumbai Indians to the victory.

Yadav played a career-best IPL knock of 79 off 47 balls as Mumbai rattled 76 runs off the last six overs to post 193-4.

Bumrah had captain Steve Smith caught behind in his first over before claiming three late wickets to bowl out Rajasthan for 136 in 18.1 overs.

“We strive to play with power,” said Mumbai skipper Rohit Sharma, who added 49 runs off 29 balls with Quinton de Kock upfront.
