Rajasthan Royals (RR) are set to cross swords with Mumbai Indians (MI) in the ongoing 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) season on Thursday, May 01. The five-time IPL champions MI are on a roll as they have won five games on the bounce. They are yet again peaking at the right time and showing everyone that they mean business.
Meanwhile, RR kept their thin playoff hopes alive on account of a thumping win against Gujarat Titans in their last match played in Jaipur. However, a tough contest awaits them against the in-form MI team. Also, RR needs to carry on with the same momentum in all of their remaining four matches. The Royals' batting is looking solid with a sizzling opening duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
The 14-year-old is currently the toast of the nation after slamming the second-fastest hundred in the history of the IPL. However, it is just the start, and how he copes with all the love and adulation pouring his way remains to be seen.
