Earlier, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav struck whirlwind fifties as Mumbai Indians recorded their second win in IPL 2024 by beating Royal Challengers Bengaluru by seven wickets. Chasing 197, Mumbai Indians started with 70-plus runs inside the powerplay to eventually win the game in 15.3 overs. Earlier, Jasprit Bumrah took a five-wicket haul to enter the record books.

“Always good to win. The way we have won – it’s quite impressive. Impact player has given the opportunity to use an extra bowler if we require. It gives me a cushion as well. The way Ro and Kishan batted, giving the platform, it was important for us to finish it early. We didn’t speak about it. That’s the beauty of this team, players know what to do,” Pandya said after the win.
