Jaipur, the Indian Premier League

Mumbai Indians 217-2 (20 overs): Rickelton 61 (38), Rohit 53 (36)

Rajasthan Royals 117 (16.1 overs): Archer 30 (27), K Sharma 3-23, Boult 3-28

Mumbai Indians won by 100 runs.

Just three days after posting a record-breaking century in the Indian Premier League as a result of a two-ball duck, 14-year-old pitcher Vaibhav Suryavanshi went through the lows of elite sport.

In his subsequent outing, the gifted talent lobbed a catch to Will Jacks inside the first over of the Rajasthan Royals’ chase, making him the youngest player to surpass 100 men in men’s T20 history on Monday in the victory over Gujarat Titans.

His dismissal was only the start of his team’s problems, as the Mumbai Indians bowlers broke through the Rajasthan line-up, winning by 100 runs in the 17th over.

All eyes were on Suryavanshi as Rajasthan sprinted for a record-breaking 218 runs in his third start in the IPL, which he had already scored 101 from 35 balls.

He had to settle for six after making his debut by diving into the covers before chipping to Jacks on Deepak Chahar’s next delivery midway through.

In the following over, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Trent Boult’s opening partner, hit two sixes to the head, but the veteran New Zealand seamer then exacted revenge by bowling the India international.

Before 37-year-old spinner Karn Sharma took three wickets for 23 to prevent Rajasthan from facing a fightback, Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer with consecutive deliveries.

Jofra Archer won the game-tying 30 points in Mumbai, but Boult returned to have the England seamer caught at short fine-leg and finish with figures of 3-28.

With a 116-point opening partnership, Mumbai openers Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton put their team on a strong foot with theirs.

Maheesh Theekshana bowled South African Rickelton for 61, and Rohit followed with a score of 61, sending Parag to Jaiswal at long-off after scoring 53.

Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya both scored an unbeaten 48 from 23 balls as Mumbai came to a close with 217-2, a total Rajasthan was unable to chase.
