Mumbai Indians Thrash Rajasthan Royals to Claim Top Spot

Rajasthan, meanwhile, have now lost eight out of 11 matches and have dropped out of the top four race. Toss and Team News Rajasthan captain Riyan Parag won the toss and opted to field first. However, injuries to Sandeep Sharma and Wanindu Hasaranga disrupted their bowling plans. Mumbai, on the other hand, went in unchanged.
