Rajasthan Royals Elect to Bowl First Against Mumbai Indians in the 50th IPL Clash

In tonight’s highly anticipated IPL 2025 fixture, Rajasthan Royals (RR) have won the toss and opted to bowl first against Mumbai Indians (MI) at Jaipur. RR skipper Riyan Parag cited possible dew and favorable night conditions for the decision, aiming to make the most of the pitch as it settles later.

Rajasthan Royals come in with a few changes — Kumar Kartikeya replaces Hasaranga due to a niggle, while Akash Madhwal comes in for Sandeep Sharma, who is out with a fractured finger. The Royals’ playing XI includes Jaiswal, Hetmyer, Theekshana, and Archer, looking to continue their solid run in the tournament.

Mumbai Indians, led by Hardik Pandya, stick with an unchanged XI. They will open with Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma, supported by Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma. Pandya mentioned he would’ve also preferred to bowl, but remains confident about batting first.

With just minutes to go, the stage is set for an exciting battle as both teams eye crucial points in the playoff race. Stay tuned for live updates and action as the game unfolds.
