Rajasthan bowlers experienced a tough day on December 8 at the Narendra Modi Stadium Ground 'A' in Ahmedabad against Jharkhand. Multiple batters of Jharkhand, including Robin Minz, were in full flow in the SMAT 2025 match.

Against Rajasthan, Minz registered 58 off 27 with eight 4s and a couple of 6s to push the total over the 200-run mark in the first innings for a winning cause. Ahead of a fresh season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the current form of Minz brings some relief to the Mumbai Indians fans and franchise.

In the Jharkhand vs Rajasthan match, Jharkhand went to bat first and scored 215 runs in their stipulated 20-over limits in exchange for 5 wickets only. Three batters – Virat Singh, Kumar Kushagra and Robin Minz – smacked half-centuries to boost up the run. It is worth mentioning that Jharkhand has been in stunning form in the current tournament, and they are currently enjoying an undefeated streak.

Why is the knock by Robin Minz perfectly aligning with the IPL standards?

During the knock against Rajasthan, the batting style of Robin had some character, which is perfectly fit for the shortest format of the game. The left-handed middle-order batter was precise in finding out the gaps in the fielding. He picked up the loose balls perfectly as well. In the first short played by the batter in the video shared by the 'BCCI Domestic' 'X' account, we can see how he improvised his stroke to put the ball in no man's land. His will to take risks makes him more dangerous when he is in touch.
