April 7, 2026. ACA Stadium, Guwahati. Rain had cut the IPL 2026 match between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians to 11 overs per side. Then Jasprit Bumrah ran in to bowl the first over of RR’s chase. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi faced the first ball.
That single moment a 17-year-old hitting one of cricket’s greatest bowlers into the stands off ball one set the emotional temperature of the entire 2026 match. RR finished 150/3 in 11 overs. They won by 27 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 77* off 32 and won Player of the Match.
This was not just one match. It was a direct reversal of what they had done to RR 11 months earlier when MI posted 217/2 and bowled RR out for 117 in Jaipur. In two consecutive IPL seasons, each team completely dominated the other in their head-to-head match. The MI vs RR rivalry is now in its most competitive, most evenly matched phase.
Here is the complete scorecard for IPL 2026 Match 13, the 2025 demolition, and the all-time H2H record with every turning point explained.
Most Recent: RR vs MI IPL 2026 Match 13 Scorecard (April 7, 2026, Guwahati)
Match Overview
Mumbai Indians Batting: 123/9 in 11 Overs
| Batter | Runs | Balls | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryan Rickelton | 8 | — | Early wicket |
| Others (top 4) | — | — | Powerplay: 30 runs, 3 wickets |
| Deepak Chahar (low order) | 6 | 5 | Tail-end cameo |
| Jasprit Bumrah | 5 | 2 | Last man standing |
| Total | 123/9 | 11 overs |
Powerplay: MI 30/3 in 3.2 overs.
In an 11-over match, the powerplay represents over 30% of the innings. Losing 3 wickets in those first 20 balls does not just hurt the run rate it forces every subsequent batter to rebuild before they can attack. MI never recovered from that start.
Hardik Pandya’s 2 overs: 17 runs conceded. The only MI bowler who kept any control. Every other MI bowler leaked above 13 per over.

Powerplay: RR 59/1 in 3.2 overs. MI got 30 in the same window. That 29-run powerplay difference is the match in a single stat.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi vs Bumrah The First Ball
Jasprit Bumrah. Ball one of RR’s chase. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi facing.
Sooryavanshi still only 17, playing as an impact player sub received Bumrah’s first delivery and hit it into the stands over long-on.
That six off Bumrah’s first ball in a DLS match worth 27 runs of margin did three things:
- It signalled immediately that RR were not going to approach the chase conservatively.
- It set the powerplay tone (59 in 3.2 overs vs MI’s 30).
- It forced MI to bring Bumrah back earlier than planned leading to Bumrah’s expensive 32 runs in 3 overs.
Sooryavanshi’s first-ball six off Bumrah is the most psychologically significant single delivery of IPL 2026’s first half. When a teenager hits one of the world’s two best bowlers into the stands off the very first ball in a high-pressure rain-reduced match, it does not just score six runs it resets the entire match’s power dynamics.
Yashasvi Jaiswal: 77* off 32 Balls. 10 Fours, Innings Anatomy
After Sooryavanshi was dismissed, Jaiswal took over entirely.
Jaiswal 77* off 32: 10 fours. On a match reduced to 11 overs. Against MI’s full bowling attack, including Bumrah.
His strike rate was above 240. On a night where MI’s entire batting lineup against RR’s bowlers averaged 1.5 fours per wicket, Jaiswal hit 10 fours alone.
Turning point over 7 of RR’s chase: With Vaibhav out and Riyan Parag promoted to accelerate, Jaiswal played a specific role: he targeted the shorter boundary (mid-wicket side at Guwahati’s ACA Stadium), refused to chase wide deliveries, and scored primarily on the leg side. That boundary targeting is why 10 of his scoring shots were fours to the leg side / mid-wicket region rather than lofted sixes into the stands.
Riyan Parag’s 20 off 9 complemented Jaiswal’s 77* a 9-ball cameo that kept the run rate heading skyward while RR still had wickets to burn.
Why RR Won by 27: DLS Match Explained
In an 11-over DLS match, the chasing team has one critical structural advantage: they know the exact target from ball one, can calculate run-rate requirements ball by ball, and critically a side that plays in T20 specialist format naturally benefits from a flatter, lower-pressure equation when wickets are in hand.
RR’s powerplay (59/1 in 3.2 overs) established a run rate of approximately 17.5/over. Their DLS target of 151 was effectively settled by over 5.
The 27-run margin is the third-largest MI loss to RR in IPL history.

This is the direct context for the 2026 match and every major scorecard-focused article misses the connection entirely.
MI 217/2: Joint-Highest Total at Jaipur
| Batter | Runs | Balls | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryan Rickelton | 61 | 38 | Opening partner to Rohit |
| Rohit Sharma | 53 | 36 | MI captain on the attack |
| Suryakumar Yadav | 48* | — | Not out finisher |
| Hardik Pandya | 48* | — | Death-overs partner to SKY |
| Total | 217/2 | 20 overs |
MI’s joint-highest IPL total at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.
The innings had an unusual shape: four batters all scoring 48-61, no enormous innings from one player. That made it harder to defend against no single wicket would have collapsed the total.
RR 117 All Out: The Collapse
| Bowler | Overs | Runs | Wickets | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Karn Sharma | 4 | 23 | 3 | Leg spin on a flat Jaipur pitch |
| Trent Boult | 2.1 | 28 | 3 | Rattled RR’s top order |
| Jasprit Bumrah | — | 15 | 2 | Control at the death |

RR 117 all out in 16.1 overs.
Jofra Archer (30 off 27) was RR’s top scorer a tail-ender finishing as the highest run-getter summarises how badly RR’s batting order collapsed.
Turning point Karn Sharma’s over 9-12 window: Karn bowled through the middle overs when RR were trying to rebuild from 50-odd with 4 wickets down. His three wickets in that period collapsed any real hope of a RR response. Trent Boult took three quick wickets at the top to set the collapse in motion.
MI won by 100 runs their biggest-ever IPL win over RR.
The 2025 vs 2026 narrative is the clearest illustration of the MI vs RR rivalry’s essential balance. MI humiliated RR in Jaipur (100-run win on RR’s home ground). RR responded with a 27-run Guwahati demolition. Both times, the chasing team outperformed. Both times, the bowled-out team had the better seam attack. In this fixture, pace bowling rarely wins on its own spin and controlled acceleration win it.

Venue Records
RR dominate at Jaipur: 6-2 all-time.
The Jaipur venue imbalance (RR 6-2) is this rivalry’s defining stat and MI’s 2025 Jaipur win was only their second-ever victory at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in IPL history. MI had never won in Jaipur since 2012 before the 2025 100-run victory. That 13-year drought in Jaipur is the MI vs RR fixture’s most ignored statistical pattern.
All-Time Top Run-Scorers
| Player | Team | Runs | Matches |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sanju Samson | RR | 540+ | 15+ |
| Rohit Sharma | MI | 520+ | 20+ |
| Yashasvi Jaiswal | RR | 310+ | 10+ |
| Suryakumar Yadav | MI | 390+ | 12+ |
Yashasvi Jaiswal 124 off 62. The highest individual score in this fixture’s history. It came in IPL 2023 at Wankhede. Despite his 124, RR lost: MI chased it down by 6 wickets.
Jaiswal’s 124 off 62 in a losing cause is the most complete individual innings in the MI vs RR rivalry’s history and arguably the most impressive performance by any player in this fixture. Scoring 124 in a T20 in a losing cause at Wankhede, against MI’s pace attack, is simply an extraordinary performance. The fact that RR lost despite it makes it more impressive, not less.
