Hardik won the toss and chose to bat first
In this match against Rajasthan, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya had decided to bat first after winning the toss. Mumbai Indians’ start in batting was nothing special. Suryakumar Yadav along with Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma were returned to the pavilion cheaply. However, due to the strong batting of Tilak Verma (65) and Nihal Badhera (49), Mumbai somehow managed to score 179 runs. However, Mumbai bowlers could not defend this score.
