Commentary

It took them nine games, but Mumbai Indians finally breathed a sigh of relief as they clinched their first win of the ongoing IPL season. The five-time champions celebrated skipper Rohit Sharma's 35th birthday with a five-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals.

Electing to field first Mumbai bowlers put up a clinical show to restrict Rajasthan to 158 for six. Despite a half-century by Royals opener Jos Buttler, the Royals put up an under par score at the DY Patil Stadium.

In reply, Mumbai got off to a shaky start, as Ashwin struck in only the third over of the match, to remove Sharma for just 2 off 5. Ishan Kishan played a cameo at the top with an 18-ball 26 to steady the chase for the five-time champs. Trent Boult removed Kishan in the final over of the powerplay, as MI once again lost both openers within the powerplay.

But Suryakumar Yadav (51) and Tilak Varma (35) kept Mumbai on course for their first win this season with a blistering 56-ball 81 runs partnership for the third-wicket. Though RR bounced back to remove Yadav and Varma in quick succession, MI held on to their nerves to finally see collect two points.

Earlier, after being asked to bat first, the Royals rode on Buttler's half-century to score 158 for six.

For Mumbai, Riley Meredith (2/24) accounted for two wickets, while debutant Kumar Kartikeya had an impressive debut as he pocketed one and conceded just 19 in his four overs spell.
