MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: 50 for Patidar!

SIX! What a way to get to your half-century, Rajat Patidar. He’s striking it really well out there. 50 off just 25 balls, Hardik Pandya is being sent to the cleaners here. Next ball, goes leg-side for yet another maximum. And then 4 again! Patidar, WOW!

RCB 186/4 (16.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Poor over by Boult

18 runs off the over! Trent Boult conceding plenty of runs on his return over. With 4 to go, not sure if he’ll be given another one by Hardik. Patidar is up to 44 off 24, he’s quietly played a really good knock here.

RCB 169/4 (16)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 4, 6 Jitesh!

Jitesh Sharma attacking Trent Boult! Pitched short by the Kiwi at first, upper cut through point for 4. Next one is slammed really hard through cover, and it goes for a flat 6! Jitesh trying to negate Trent Boult’s influence here.

RCB 162/4 (15.3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 5 overs to go

RCB have captain Rajat Patidar at the crease, alongside Jitesh Sharma. Rohit Sharma enters the field of play, taking the place of Vignesh, who only bowled one over. 5 overs remaining, and RCB will be hoping for at least 200.

RCB 151/4 (15)

MI vs RCB LIVE: HARDIK GETS ANOTHER!

One more for Hardik! Second wicket of the over. 2 wickets in 3 balls, he’s worked his magic with the ball yet again. Liam Livingstone does not last very long at the crease. Went for the scoop, no timing, and Jasprit Bumrah takes a good catch.

200 T20 wickets for Hardik Pandya.

RCB 144/4 (14.3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: KOHLI OUT!

Virat Kohli OUT! Hardik Pandya strikes with the ball! Kohli trying to go big again, but this does not get the perfect connection. Naman Dhir at mid-wicket is a reliable fielder. Pandya making an impact with the ball yet again.

Kohli shakes his head in fury. He looks livid with himself for not going on and scoring a century here.

RCB 143/3 (14.1)

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: SIX MORE!

Another big hit, this time over long-off by Rajat Patidar! Huge over for RCB, 20 runs off it! That has spoiled Santner’s figures completely, he finishes his spell at 0/40. Patidar showing his class! RCB’s run-rate above 10 again.

RCB 143/2 (14)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Kohli goes after Santner!

Looks like the RCB batters have decided that they’re going to target Mitch Santner! Comes down the track, hammers him for 4. Tries to do the same next ball too, gets a leading edge, but away from the fielder at short third man.

RCB 136/2 (13.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 6! PATIDAR!

Rajat Patidar, what a shot. Right after the timeout, he slams Santner over long-on for a huge six. Gives himself room, frees his arms and clears the ropes with ease. The captain dealing in boundaries now.

RCB 129/2 (13.1)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 10 off the over

Patidar gets 4 more! Seems to be fine despite the hit on the helmet. Short delivery by Pandya, Patidar jumps and upper cuts him over the wicket-keeper for 4. 10 off the over, some much-needed boundaries to get RCB rolling again.

RCB 122/2 (13)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Hit on the grill!

Oh dear! Patidar tries a scoop again, but this time the ball hits him smack on the right grill of the helmet. That must’ve hurt. Pandya and Kohli check up on him, and now the physios are here to do a concussion check.

RCB 118/2 (12.3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Patidar showing intent!

Hardik Pandya back into the attack, and Rajat Patidar is taking the attack to the pacer. Ramps him for a boundary on the very first ball, and then drives it through extra cover. Fielded in the deep, the batters pick up 2.

RCB 118/2 (12.2)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 4!

FOUR! Boundary after a while for RCB. Virat Kohli with a firm shot through extra cover, fielder in the deep should’ve done better. Still, only 17 runs in the last 3 overs. MI are pulling things back here.

RCB 112/2 (12)

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: 100 up

100 up for RCB! It has taken them exactly 10 overs. A great half-century by Virat Kohli in that time, and a useful hand by Padikkal too. Now the onus is on Kohli and RCB captain Patidar to take the momentum forward.

Meanwhile, here comes Bumrah for Over No. 2.

RCB 100/2 (10)

MI vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

VIGNESH STRIKES! Padikkal tries to slog him for a six now, gets the height but not good enough timing. Great catch by Will Jacks at long-on, who holds his balance well near the ropes. Much-needed wicket for MI.

A great hand played by Padikkal. 37 off 22 balls, at a strike rate of 168.

RCB 95/2 (9)

MI vs RCB LIVE: FIFTY FOR KOHLI!

SIX and 50! What a knock by Kohli this has been. 51 off 29 balls. Gets there with a superb shot. Takes on chinaman Vignesh Puthur, clears the ropes over mid-wicket. Big shot, clean shot, all the way.

RCB 94/1 (8.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Excellent over by Pandya

Superb over by Hardik Pandya. Breaks the RCB rhythm just a little bit. Only four runs off it. Changes his pace up, creates a problem for Kohli and Padikkal to attack. The wicket still not here, but MI will take positivity from that over.

RCB 85/1 (8)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Hardik takes ball

Hardik Pandya has taken up the ball. Mumbai Indians bowlers are under the pump, so the captain has appointed himself to try and make a difference. Coming into this match having taken his first-ever T20 5-wicket haul in the last game.

MI vs RCB LIVE: Kohli into the 40s!

SMASH! Virat Kohli is taking on everyone at the moment, even the spinners! Mitch Santner into the attack, isn’t allowed to settle. Kohli clears the in-field, through mid-wicket for yet another boundary. Up to 41 off 22 balls.

RCB 81/1 (7)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 73 off the powerplay!

What an incredible start for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Runs have come thick and fast, with both Kohli and Padikkal playing their shots to great success. 73 runs in 6 overs. A commanding start, despite losing a wicket in the first over. Pressure on MI. 

MI vs RCB LIVE: SIX, SIX!

Devdutt Padikkal is chipping in nicely. Two sixes in a row! Bumrah taken off the attack, Chahar brought back and Padikkal is sending him to the cleaners. First one over long on, second one hammered over mid-wicket with power.

RCB 68/1 (5.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Virat Kohli on song!

Virat Kohli is dealing in boundaries! 35 off 18 balls! What a start for him, and it’s 50 up for RCB inside the first five overs. Top, top hitting. He’s ensured that the pressure is all back on MI right despite the loss of the first wicket. 

MI vs RCB LIVE: Kohli looks superb

FOUR! Virat Kohli now takes the attack to Will Jacks. Hardik introduces spin, brings on ex-RCB player Jacks. No change in approach for Kohli, who sends it back over his head and straight down the ground for 4.

RCB 47/1 (4.1)

MI vs RCB LIVE: SIX!

Bumrah vs Kohli, first ball SIX! Over mid-wicket. What sheer timing from Virat Kohli, who takes the attack to the MI pace spearhead straight away. “No respect”, says Ian Bishop in the commentary box.

RCB 40/1 (3.2)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Here comes Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is here. Deepak Chahar has not been given a second over. Pressure on MI with RCB motoring along at 11 runs an over, so Hardik has turned to his spearhead to try and break things up.

RCB 34/1 (3.1)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 4, 4 Kohli!

Virat Kohli, beautiful shot once again. Strong use of the bottom hand, and it runs away through mid-wicket for 4. Next one is even more glorious. Pitched up and driven through the covers with glorious class. 16 off Boult’s second over.

RCB 33/1 (3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 6!

First maximum of the game! Devdutt Padikkal hooks Boult over fine-leg, just enough on it for 6. Bumrah was the fielder at fine-leg, went for the catch with a jump but it sailed over. Padikkal looking in decent knick here.

RCB 25/1 (2.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: First 4 for Kohli!

Virat Kohli off the mark with a boundary. Pitched towards his pads and he times it between square leg and mid-wicket for 4. Survived an LBW scare in the first delivery, as it ricocheted off his pads. 

RCB 17/1 (2)

MI vs RCB LIVE: GONE!

BOULT STRIKES BACK! Phil Salt’s stumps go flying, and Mumbai Indians get their first wicket. First ball, 4. Second ball, wicket! Full, straight, on the money by the Kiwi. Incredible start to the encounter, and Salt once again fails to do well.

RCB 4/1 (0.2)

MI vs RCB LIVE: FIRST BALL 4!

WHAT A START! Phil Salt with a glorious cover drive off Trent Boult, and the ball rockets away to the fence like a tracer bullet. Impeccable timing from the Englishman. Terrific start for RCB.

RCB 4/0 (0.1)

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: 3rd vs 8th

RCB and MI are on opposite ends of the IPL 2025 table. RCB can go top with a victory, while Mumbai Indians will enter the top 4 if they win. Such is the close proximity between teams in the Indian Premier League!

MI vs RCB LIVE: Will Bumrah open the bowling?

While Jasprit Bumrah is back, it isn’t certain that he’ll open the bowling. Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar are primarily powerplay specialists, so MI might bowl Bumrah first change and save him for the death overs.

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: Bumrah replaces Ashwani

Ashwani Kumar enjoyed a terrific debut for Mumbai Indians against KKR, but after going expensive in their last game, he has made way for Bumrah to come back in. A straight swap in that regard for the five-time champions.

Mumbai Indians win the toss and opt to bowl against RCB! JASPRIT BUMRAH IS BACK. Rohit Sharma also returns for the Mumbai Indians, but he will once again feature as an impact player. No changes for RCB.

“Mumbai has always been supporting us. Playing at home makes it different. The crowd is behind you and you are aware of the conditions. Jassi (Bumrah) is back and so is Ro (Rohit). Both of our experienced campaigners are back in the side, that gives us an added fuel,” Hardik says.
