Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru LIVE Scorecard, IPL 2025 LIVE Updates: Rohit Sharma Starts Well But Fails Once Again, MI 2-Down vs RCB

MI vs RCB LIVE: Credit to Jitesh

A big DRS call going RCB’s way, and it seems like it was Jitesh Sharma who urged them to go for the review. Celebration towards Jitesh after the DRS, as he’s patted heavily on the back. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav gets off the mark with a boundary.

MI 43/2 (4.2)

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: OUT!

Hazlewood strikes! DRS masterstroke! Looked to be pitching outside leg-stump at first, and the umpire gave not out too. But RCB go up with the DRS, and guess what, it is three reds and out! Josh Hazlewood impresses yet again.

MI 38/2 (3.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Wicketless start for Bhuvneshwar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar fails to get a wicket in his opening two overs. Goes for a bit of runs as well. Josh Hazlewood now introduced by Rajat Patidar, to bowl to the left-hander Rickelton. Has been arguably the most impressive pacer of IPL 2025 so far.

MI 34/1 (3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 4, 4 Rickelton!

Great shots, Ryan Rickelton! Timed exquisitely through the covers, two balls in a row. Pressure on the two overseas batters – Rickelton and Jacks – to up the tempo. Those kind of shots will help. Bhuvi looking for answers.

MI 33/1 (2.3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

YASH DAYAL HITS BACK! Rohit Sharma is gone! Swings back in, takes a soft inside edge  and knocks over Rohit Sharma’s leg stump. He was looking so good, but has to go early again. 9-ball 17 today for the 37-year-old.

MI vs RCB LIVE: 4, 4 Rohit!

Rohit Sharma, another good shot! Rohit shuffles across his stumps and whacks Yash Dayal over mid-wicket for 4. Next one is crashed through the covers! Sweet sound off the blade, Rohit is in good touch today.

MI 21/0 (1.3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Expensive first over

4 for Rickelton! Straight down the ground, the fielder at mid-on tried to stop it, but it goes past him for a boundary. 13 off Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s opening over, MI are up and running. Good start for the home side.

MI 13/0 (1)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Rohit nearly out!

Rohit Sharma nearly out first ball to Bhuvneshwar Kumar! Takes a thick outside edge, Jitesh Sharma goes for the dive, gets his gloves to it but cannot hold on. Rohit hits back with a tremendous shot two balls later, gets SIX!

MI 8/0 (0.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Rohit, Rickelton opening!

MI are opening with No. 45 Rohit Sharma and No. 44 Ryan Rickelton. The duo need to provide a flashy start here, with the asking rate being more than 11 runs per over. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will take the new ball.

MI vs RCB LIVE: Who will open?

Rohit Sharma is expected to open the batting alongside Ryan Rickelton. Who bats at No. 3 for MI will be a big dilemma, with Will Jacks the natural choice, Tilak Varma more than capable, and Naman Dhir in good form.

Suryakumar Yadav has been great so far too, and he could come good today.

MI vs RCB LIVE: Can Rohit fire?

Virat Kohli’s job done, all eyes now on Rohit Sharma, to see whether he can shine for MI. Rohit has disappointed in the three games he has played so far. Coming back from an injury, he needs to give MI a good start to help them get towards 222.

MI vs RCB LIVE: Bumrah wicketless

Jasprit Bumrah goes wicketless on his return to competitive cricket. Not a bad spell, in fact, he’s the only MI bowler to have an economy of less than 10. Finishes with figures of 0/29 in 4 overs. Every other bowler was sent to the cleaners.

MI vs RCB LIVE: RCB 221!

221! That’s the final total by RCB. Two excellent half-centuries hit by Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar, and two excellent cameos by Devdutt Padikkal and Jitesh Sharma. MI will need to put on a great show to chase this down.

RCB 221/5 (20 overs)

MI Target: 222

MI vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

Incredible catch by Ryan Rickelton! Rajat Patidar departs, trying to play a ramp shot, miscues but Rickelton still had to make a lot of ground and complete a superb diving catch. 1 more over to go, RCB would want 230!

RCB 213/5 (19)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 6, 6 WOW!

Jitesh Sharma, what a shot! Boult goes for the wide yorker, slightly misses his execution. Ends up being a full toss, Jitesh comes across and swats it away to the leg-side for a 6. Two balls later, daring shot, over fine-leg for another 6!

RCB 211/4 (18.3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Good over by Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah slowing things down just a little bit. Tidy over, six singles off six balls. Wicketless so far, but he’s only given away 21 runs in his first 3 overs. Not a bad return for Bumrah, despite being out for three months.

RCB 198/4 (18)

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: 23 off the over!

Huge, huge over for RCB. Jitesh Sharma ends Pandya’s spell with a boundary too. Miscue, but it still goes over third man for 4. Pandya concedes 23 in his final over. Ends with figures of 2/45 in 4 overs. Up to Jasprit Bumrah now to finish things.

RCB 192/4 (17)

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: 50 for Patidar!

SIX! What a way to get to your half-century, Rajat Patidar. He’s striking it really well out there. 50 off just 25 balls, Hardik Pandya is being sent to the cleaners here. Next ball, goes leg-side for yet another maximum. And then 4 again! Patidar, WOW!

RCB 186/4 (16.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Poor over by Boult

18 runs off the over! Trent Boult conceding plenty of runs on his return over. With 4 to go, not sure if he’ll be given another one by Hardik. Patidar is up to 44 off 24, he’s quietly played a really good knock here.

RCB 169/4 (16)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 4, 6 Jitesh!

Jitesh Sharma attacking Trent Boult! Pitched short by the Kiwi at first, upper cut through point for 4. Next one is slammed really hard through cover, and it goes for a flat 6! Jitesh trying to negate Trent Boult’s influence here.

RCB 162/4 (15.3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 5 overs to go

RCB have captain Rajat Patidar at the crease, alongside Jitesh Sharma. Rohit Sharma enters the field of play, taking the place of Vignesh, who only bowled one over. 5 overs remaining, and RCB will be hoping for at least 200.

RCB 151/4 (15)

MI vs RCB LIVE: HARDIK GETS ANOTHER!

One more for Hardik! Second wicket of the over. 2 wickets in 3 balls, he’s worked his magic with the ball yet again. Liam Livingstone does not last very long at the crease. Went for the scoop, no timing, and Jasprit Bumrah takes a good catch.

200 T20 wickets for Hardik Pandya.

RCB 144/4 (14.3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: KOHLI OUT!

Virat Kohli OUT! Hardik Pandya strikes with the ball! Kohli trying to go big again, but this does not get the perfect connection. Naman Dhir at mid-wicket is a reliable fielder. Pandya making an impact with the ball yet again.

Kohli shakes his head in fury. He looks livid with himself for not going on and scoring a century here.

RCB 143/3 (14.1)

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: SIX MORE!

Another big hit, this time over long-off by Rajat Patidar! Huge over for RCB, 20 runs off it! That has spoiled Santner’s figures completely, he finishes his spell at 0/40. Patidar showing his class! RCB’s run-rate above 10 again.

RCB 143/2 (14)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Kohli goes after Santner!

Looks like the RCB batters have decided that they’re going to target Mitch Santner! Comes down the track, hammers him for 4. Tries to do the same next ball too, gets a leading edge, but away from the fielder at short third man.

RCB 136/2 (13.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 6! PATIDAR!

Rajat Patidar, what a shot. Right after the timeout, he slams Santner over long-on for a huge six. Gives himself room, frees his arms and clears the ropes with ease. The captain dealing in boundaries now.

RCB 129/2 (13.1)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 10 off the over

Patidar gets 4 more! Seems to be fine despite the hit on the helmet. Short delivery by Pandya, Patidar jumps and upper cuts him over the wicket-keeper for 4. 10 off the over, some much-needed boundaries to get RCB rolling again.

RCB 122/2 (13)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Hit on the grill!

Oh dear! Patidar tries a scoop again, but this time the ball hits him smack on the right grill of the helmet. That must’ve hurt. Pandya and Kohli check up on him, and now the physios are here to do a concussion check.

RCB 118/2 (12.3)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Patidar showing intent!

Hardik Pandya back into the attack, and Rajat Patidar is taking the attack to the pacer. Ramps him for a boundary on the very first ball, and then drives it through extra cover. Fielded in the deep, the batters pick up 2.

RCB 118/2 (12.2)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 4!

FOUR! Boundary after a while for RCB. Virat Kohli with a firm shot through extra cover, fielder in the deep should’ve done better. Still, only 17 runs in the last 3 overs. MI are pulling things back here.

RCB 112/2 (12)

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: 100 up

100 up for RCB! It has taken them exactly 10 overs. A great half-century by Virat Kohli in that time, and a useful hand by Padikkal too. Now the onus is on Kohli and RCB captain Patidar to take the momentum forward.

Meanwhile, here comes Bumrah for Over No. 2.

RCB 100/2 (10)

MI vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

VIGNESH STRIKES! Padikkal tries to slog him for a six now, gets the height but not good enough timing. Great catch by Will Jacks at long-on, who holds his balance well near the ropes. Much-needed wicket for MI.

A great hand played by Padikkal. 37 off 22 balls, at a strike rate of 168.

RCB 95/2 (9)

MI vs RCB LIVE: FIFTY FOR KOHLI!

SIX and 50! What a knock by Kohli this has been. 51 off 29 balls. Gets there with a superb shot. Takes on chinaman Vignesh Puthur, clears the ropes over mid-wicket. Big shot, clean shot, all the way.

RCB 94/1 (8.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Excellent over by Pandya

Superb over by Hardik Pandya. Breaks the RCB rhythm just a little bit. Only four runs off it. Changes his pace up, creates a problem for Kohli and Padikkal to attack. The wicket still not here, but MI will take positivity from that over.

RCB 85/1 (8)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Hardik takes ball

Hardik Pandya has taken up the ball. Mumbai Indians bowlers are under the pump, so the captain has appointed himself to try and make a difference. Coming into this match having taken his first-ever T20 5-wicket haul in the last game.

MI vs RCB LIVE: Kohli into the 40s!

SMASH! Virat Kohli is taking on everyone at the moment, even the spinners! Mitch Santner into the attack, isn’t allowed to settle. Kohli clears the in-field, through mid-wicket for yet another boundary. Up to 41 off 22 balls.

RCB 81/1 (7)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 73 off the powerplay!

What an incredible start for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Runs have come thick and fast, with both Kohli and Padikkal playing their shots to great success. 73 runs in 6 overs. A commanding start, despite losing a wicket in the first over. Pressure on MI. 

MI vs RCB LIVE: SIX, SIX!

Devdutt Padikkal is chipping in nicely. Two sixes in a row! Bumrah taken off the attack, Chahar brought back and Padikkal is sending him to the cleaners. First one over long on, second one hammered over mid-wicket with power.

RCB 68/1 (5.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Virat Kohli on song!

Virat Kohli is dealing in boundaries! 35 off 18 balls! What a start for him, and it’s 50 up for RCB inside the first five overs. Top, top hitting. He’s ensured that the pressure is all back on MI right despite the loss of the first wicket. 

MI vs RCB LIVE: Kohli looks superb

FOUR! Virat Kohli now takes the attack to Will Jacks. Hardik introduces spin, brings on ex-RCB player Jacks. No change in approach for Kohli, who sends it back over his head and straight down the ground for 4.

RCB 47/1 (4.1)
