MI vs RR, IPL 2026: Rajasthan Royals Cruise Past Mumbai to Secure Playoff Spot

Rajasthan Royals (RR) beat Mumbai Indians by 30 runs to march into the playoffs of IPL 2026. With this result, PBKS and KKR are eliminated from the tournament. After being invited to bat first, RR posted a strong 205 runs on board on the back of useful contributions from Dhruv Jurel (38) and Jofra Archer (32). In response, KKR were off to a horrific start as they lost the top three wickets early, but a crucial partnership between Suryakumar Yadav and Will Jacks brought them back in the game. Towards the end, Hardik Pandya also blazed a quick-fire 34 off 15 balls, but it proved to be too little too late in the end.
