IPL 2025, Match 50: RR vs MI - Playing XIs Status

Rajasthan Royals' batting has experienced the power of the young openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi, while the other batters also have to take responsibility for playing big knocks. They are in danger of missing out on the playoffs this season. The franchise is also searching for some more pace-bowling support from others.

Mumbai Indians are now flying, they don't need any more changes in the squad at this moment. While they had a rough start this season, they are now one of the strongest teams this season, and they are one of the big favourites to win the title. 

IPL 2025, Match 50: RR vs MI Probable Playing XI

IPL 2025 has reached its halfway mark; the 43rd match is on the card. This season, so far, has surprised cricket fans in multiple ways: multiple all-time records have been shattered, evenings are packed with neck-to-neck rivalries, and multiple teams are in the race to confirm a playoff ticket. Only four teams will be booked for the next round, and the rest of the teams will have to wait for a brand-new season. Teams like Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are looking good enough to qualify for the next round. Contradictory, teams like Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, and Sunrisers Hyderabad have so far experienced a very bumpy road.

Now, let's derive which team can qualify for the round of four and how (16— probable cut-off points)— 

Gujarat Titans (GT): Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans is the frontrunner to enter into the upcoming stage. Lying in the number 3 spot with 12 points in 9 matches.

Delhi Capitals (DC): Axar Patel-led so far performed extremely well, got 12 points in 10 matches, and a spot in the playoffs seems only some inches away for them.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB): This time, under Rajat Patidar's leadership, RCB is looking more composed than before. Currently at the 1st spot, 14 points in 10 matches.

Mumbai Indians (MI): with all the experience gained from previous seasons, the way Mumbai Indians bounced back probably no one expected. Back-to-back wins have made them another contender for the playoffs. Currently at 2nd spot with 14 points in 10 matches. 

Punjab Kings (PBKS): Despite multiple promising moments, Punjab Kings, led by Shreyas Iyer, are struggling to maintain their momentum, and for that, they are now 5th in the points table; 11 points in 9 matches. 

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG): Despite a solid squad on pen and paper, Rishabh Pant's Lucknow Super Giants performance on the field has not yet justified their value. 10 points in 10 matches—that's all they have right now.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR): The champion of IPL 2024 have 9 points in 10 matches. The defending champion is very near to exiting, but a glimmer of hope is still left.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH): Probably the most hyped team after the mega auction, now struck deep in the points table, currently at number 9 with 6 points in 9 matches. 

Chennai Super Kings (CSK): A tumultuous season for the team; probably they need to find a good combination for next season. Now CSK, at 10th place in the ten-team league after playing 9 matches, got 4 points. 

Rajasthan Royals (RR): With a bunch of exciting talents on board, RR's dream to qualify for the next round is probably all gone. Royals at number 8, has only 6 points in 10 matches. 

IPL 2025 Playoffs Chances:

RCB - 90.6%

MI- 63.7%

GT- 76.9%

DC- 63.6%

PBKS - 61.4%

LSG - 27.7%

KKR - 11.7%

Weather & Pitch Report

On May 1, 2025, the weather in Jaipur is forecasted to be warm, with temperatures in the range of 34–38°C (93–100°F) and humidity around 40–50% in the evening. Sawai Mansingh Stadium's pitch will most likely also provide a good batting surface initially but will possibly assist spinners as the game crawls past the initial powerplay. Dew may also be a factor in the 2nd innings that may help a chasing team by making the batting conditions easier. 

RR vs MI: Match Preview

Rajasthan Royals, captained by Riyan Parag, are coming off a dominant 8-wicket win against the Gujarat Titans, where Vaibhav Suryavanshi's 101* from 38 balls stole the show. RR had a mixed season with 4 wins from 10 matches; the batting lineup is dependent on Yashasvi Jaiswal , Suryavanshi , and Parag. The bowling lineup, led by Jofra Archer, with Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana providing spinning options, is more suited to Jaipur's conditions, with Sandeep Sharma adding experience if needed. The Mumbai Indians, under Hardik Pandya, are in excellent form, having won 5 matches consecutively and sitting second in the standings. MI's batting lineup of Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan Rickelton, with an explosive batting attack, also possesses Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult as the bowlers that augment their bowling strategy. The MI team is riding the momentum of their recent string of victories, but the Rajasthan faction has home advantage and may be able to make it a closer contest than expected.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru(RCB) will play against Mumbai Indians(MI) in the fiftieth match of IPL 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. RCB finished fourth and lost in the Eliminator, while MI failed to qualify for playoffs in the IPL 2024.

It was a strong team performance from the Royals in bowling and batting in ipl 2024.

In IPL 2025, MI is in good form winning consecutive wins and ready to take revenge against RR. In the 50th match of IPL 2025, These two teams played in RR's home stadium, and Rajasthan will take home an advantage to win this match.

Impact Players: Rajasthan Royals (RR)

High-five for Mumbai Indians (MI), 5 wins in a row by defeating Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in game 45 of IPL 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium. MI, with 12 points in 10 matches, climbs the ladder, and now they are in 2^nd place in the points table. One of the highlighted moments of the match came when Rohit Sharma launched back-to-back sixes into the stand in a Mayank Yadav over. The sublime shots displayed the skills and techniques Sharma has engraved throughout the years.  

LSG captain Rishabh Pant won the toss and decided to field first; it came as a blessing in disguise for MI. Pant thought that the track would turn in more favor for batters during the later hours of the match. In the ongoing season, the Wankhede surface surprised seasoned cricketers as well with its unpredictable nature.

Mumbai Indians started their innings in a confident way with Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma. The former Mumbai Indians skipper was on song during their last two encounters; he was looking good too in the match as well. The right-handed batter went off to start his innings with an over-boundary in the third over.

Mayank Yadav chose to go short with an over 140 kmph delivery; Sharma positioned himself well enough on his back foot, balanced himself comfortably to swing the bat across for a maximum. The following delivery was almost the same from the young Indian pacer. This time Rohit looked more stable, both legs angled perfectly for a copybook Nataraj shoot. On both times, the way Rohit executed those shots reminded of the legendary Kapil Dev. Mayank came back strongly and dismissed Sharma in the same over; the experienced batter settled for only 12 runs, facing 5 balls.

An allround performance by Mumbai Indians 

Sharma’s dismissal did not harm MI enough, as Rickelton (58 runs, 32 balls) was there to drive the innings, later joined by in-form Will Jacks (29 runs, 21 balls) and Suryakumar Yadav (54 runs, 28 balls). Jack is awarded the man of the match award for his all-around performance in the match. He took the wickets of Nicholas Pooran and Rishabh Pant in the second innings.

LSG batters maintained a healthy strike rate, but without a solid partnership, their efforts fell apart, resulting in two back-to-back defeats. The experienced pacer duo of MI, Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah, claimed 7 wickets together, 3 for Boult and 4 for Bumrah. Super Giants were able to make only 161 in 20 overs, and Mumbai Indians won the match by 54 runs.

In the match played between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants in 45 match of IPL 2025, Hardik Pandya's platoon has won by 54 runs. With this, Mumbai has now reached the second position in the points table. This is Lucknow's fifth defeat this season. With which it now seems very difficult for Rishabh Pant's team to reach the playoffs. Let's take a look at today's match. 

In the match, Mumbai Indians batted first and scored 215 runs in 20 overs. This included 58 runs from opener Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav's quick 54 runs. Apart from these two, Will Jacks 29 and Naman Dheer also played quick 25 runs. Due to which Mumbai's score crossed 200. In response, Lucknow's innings was limited to 161 runs. Ayush Badoni scored the highest 35 runs for Lucknow. While in Mumbai's bowling, Bolt took 3 and Bumrah took 4 wickets. These two bowlers of Mumbai had wrapped up more than half of Lucknow's innings. In this way Mumbai has won the match by 54 runs.

 The journey of both the teams in this season

Now let's take a look at the performance of Mumbai and Lucknow in the current IPL season. In which such a performance is no less than a miracle for Mumbai. Because it won only 1 match out of its first 5 matches. After which it was believed that this season too the Mumbai franchise would not be able to reach the playoffs. But now this team is at second place in the points table with 6 wins and 4 losses in 10 matches. 

On the other hand, the current IPL season has been full of ups and downs for Lucknow. The team loses one match and wins the other. Lucknow has currently played 10 matches in this season. In these, the team has won 5 matches while it has faced defeat in 5 matches. This is the reason why Rishabh Pant's team is currently at sixth position in the points table.

In a thrilling encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 54 runs in IPL 2025 Match 42. After setting a challenging total of 215/7, MI’s bowlers restricted LSG to just 161 all out, securing a comprehensive victory. Let’s delve into the key reasons behind Lucknow’s defeat.

LSG’s chase was derailed by inconsistent batting, early wickets, and MI’s relentless bowling attack, led by Jasprit Bumrah’s brilliance. MI batters also laid a platform, supported by Ryan Rickelton's 58 runs off 32 balls and Suryakumar Yadav's 54 runs off 28 balls; near the end, contributions from Naman Dhir and Corbin Bosch would ensure an excellent total that put MI's hat to victory in a great match.

1. Inconsistent Batting Performance

Lucknow Super Giants’ batting collapse was a pivotal reason for being defeated. Although Ayush Badoni (35 off 24) and Mitchell Marsh (34 off 22) put up some resistance, the others did not build on it. Important players, including Nicholas Pooran (15 off 12) and Rishabh Pant (22 off 18), faltered under pressure and could not build substantial innings. LSG regularly fell victim to wickets that curtailed momentum, resulted in wastage while trying to build partnerships, and prevented them from reaching 216 by 18 runs despite a reasonable start, as there must have been some level of batting confidence before they were dismissed.

2. Mumbai Indians’ Dominant Bowling Attack

Mumbai Indians’ bowling unit decimated LSG’s batting unit, led by Jasprit Bumrah’s phenomenal 4/22. On a dime, Bumrah’s blistering pace and yorkers accounted for openers Aiden Markram and Marsh early. He then broke LSG’s backbone by snapping up Pooran in the middle overs. Trent Boult followed Bumrah with a fiery 3/20, targeting the lower order, and Will Jacks provided a 2-wicket contribution, including taking out Pant at a key juncture. MI's bowlers maintained relentless, Hamburg-strength pressure, making it hard for LSG to build acceleration towards their target.

3. Lack of Discipline in Bowling

The bowling unit for LSG was no match for the explosive batting unit of the Mumbai Indians. While Mayank Yadav (2/40) and Avesh Khan (2/42) were able to pick up wickets, they undoubtedly failed to put the brakes on the scoring, particularly against openers Ryan Rickelton (58 off 32) and Suryakumar Yadav (54 off 28). MI’s middle-order hitters, Naman Dhir and Corbin Bosch (contributions of 20 and 35 runs, respectively), inflated the MI total to 215/7 as 60 runs were also cut in the last 4 overs. The LSG bowlers showed a lack of discipline in their lines and lengths, ultimately giving MI a total that would prove too steep to chase down on the Wankhede pitch.

In a thrilling encounter at the Wankhede Stadium on April 27, 2025, Mumbai Indians (MI) showcased their dominance by securing a commanding 54-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 45 of the IPL 2025 season.

Mumbai Indians Innings

Mumbai Indians set an imposing target of 215/7 in 20 overs after winning the toss and electing to bat first. The MI innings was built on a blistering 94-run opening stand between Ryan Rickelton (58 off 32) and Suryakumar Yadav (54 off 28), who put the Lucknow bowlers under extreme pressure. Will Jacks added 29 from 21 balls, and in the end Naman Dhir (18 off 10) and Corbin Bosch (15* off 8) finished strongly, as MI posted well over 200. The Lucknow bowling attack of Mayank Yadav (2/40) and Avesh Khan (2/42) had no answers to contain the MI middle order, and even with Ravi Bishnoi (1/41) claiming Suryakumar's wicket, MI made runs freely. 

Lucknow Super Giants Innings

In reply, Lucknow Super Giants were bowled out for 161, losing by 54 runs. Ayush Badoni (35 off 22) and Mitchell Marsh (34 off 24) fought back briefly, but the Lucknow batters were never able to seize the momentum. Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers with 4/22, and Trent Boult (3/20) and Will Jacks (2/18) were good support. MI attacked the Super Giants, while the Lucknow batting never found their rhythm in their run chase, to help MI to a comfortable win.

MI vs LSG: Post Match Reactions

Will Jacks (Player of the Match): Jacks credited his bowling for the success of the team as he matched up well with the unknown left, like Pooran. He acknowledged the hard work he has put into his bowling, and although it is part-time, he is still enjoying playing for Mumbai Indians. He also mentioned Bumrah's skill and leadership.

Hardik Pandya (MI Captain): Pandya talked about the momentum of the team and how everyone contributed. He explained how it is important that when a player is needed for a performance, everyone pulls together, and he said for them they need to focus on playing good cricket and not getting ahead of themselves.

Rishabh Pant (LSG Captain): Pant spoke about how their plan was to back their batting and commented on the quality of the performance from Mumbai.  He said it is important to keep positive and that Mayank Yadav's return was a positive for the team.

Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants: Match Scorecard

Mumbai Indians—215/7 (20 Overs)

Lucknow Super Giants – 161/10 (20 Overs)

India's T20I captain,Suryakumar Yadav, made IPL history on Sunday (April 27) as the fastest batter to 4000 runs in IPL history. Appearing for the Mumbai Indians in their 10th league match of IPL 2025, Surya reached 4000 runs in just 2714 balls, breaking KL Rahul's previous record of 2820 balls. Chris Gayle is third, with 2920 balls. Suryakumar became the 17th cricketer to score 4000 runs in the IPL overall and the eighth active player to reach this milestone in the league's most prestigious franchise cricket league.

Suryakumar, a 34-year-old right-handed batter from Mumbai, has had spectacular form throughout the current season. He entered the innings needing just 33 runs against Lucknow Super Giants to reach his goal. He reached the milestone when he struck a boundary off Avesh Khan in the 13th over. Surya has scored so far 4 fours and 2 sixes, with his first six of the night also being his historic 150th six in IPL history. His consistent and aggressive style of play has proved vital for the Mumbai Indians, and he is now lauded as one of the elite T20 batters in the world.

Surya Eyes Another Record for Mumbai Indians

If Suryakumar Yadav gets a minimum of 54 in this IPL 2025 match, he will surpass Kieron Pollard's 3412 runs and become the second-highest run scorer for the Mumbai Indians in IPL history. Currently, Rohit Sharma is first with 5698 runs from 221 matches, including 2 hundreds and 37 fifties, and a career with MI. Surya too has played with Kolkata Knight Riders and so far has become one of the MI greats due to the eye-catching batting and dominance of matches from previous IPL seasons.

There are times when success comes quickly, and his success has indeed come quickly over time. For sure, Surya's feats say that none of his success is by coincidence - this is a combination of the player's determination, creativity, and a strong work ethic, which comes through their commitment and a lot of hard work. There will be many matches to play yet in this season, and there will be even more records that will fall, and Surya will continue to be recognized in IPL history.
