Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru LIVE Scorecard, IPL 2025 LIVE Updates: 6, 4, 6, 4 – Hardik Pandya Goes Berserk As MI Fightback vs RCB

MI vs RCB LIVE: 6, 4, 6, 4 Hardik!

Hardik Pandya is off the mark in style! 6, 4, 6, 4 off Josh Hazlewood! Mumbai Indians’ run chase is difficult, but do not rule them out. Hardik is going crazy in the middle. He’s 20 off 4 balls. Unreal hitting.

MI 138/3 (13.5)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 6, 4, 4 Tilak!

Tilak Varma is gitting really well today! Starts off Suyash’s final over with a maximum over mid-wicket, and then towards extra cover for 4. Then follows two runs, before Tilak times a reverse sweep to perfection and gets 4 more! Tilak certainly won’t be retired out today.

MI 116/4 (13)

MI vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

SKY GONE! RCB get their wicket, and Yash Dayal is absolutely pumped. Once again, Suryakumar Yadav goes for a big shot, once again he gets next to no timing on it. Liam Livingstone takes the catch. MI are 4-down!

MI 97/4 (12)

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: Big chat at RCB

A big discussion taking place in the RCB camp. Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar are having to come and have a chat with Dayal and Jitesh. This could be a game-changing error. Tilak smashes a great shot for 4 on the next ball!

MI 96/3 (11.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: DROP!

DISASTER! Oh dear, that is a huge chance put down. Suryakumar Yadav completely mistimes a big shot, sends it straight up, but Jitesh Sharma and Yash Dayal collide trying to catch the same ball. Oh, could this come back to bite RCB?

MI vs RCB LIVE: MISSED CHANCE!

Suryakumar Yadav sent it straight to Krunal Pandya at deep mid-wicket but he hasn’t taken it! Krunal should’ve grabbed it, MI should be 4-down, but he seemed to lose sight of the ball due to the floodlights.

MI 90/3 (11)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 4, Tilak!

Great timing from Tilak Varma. Gets a boundary on ball 1. Remember, he was retired out by MI in the previous game, so he’ll have a point to prove himself. But MI under the pump, as RCB get another successful over.

MI need 138 runs in 10 overs.

MI 84/3 (10)

MI vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

Will Jacks departs! Royal Challengers Bengaluru get their third wicket! Jacks was getting frustrated not being able to hit Krunal, and now the latter gets his man. Tried the big shot, not enough timing, straight to Virat Kohli at deep square leg.

MI 79/3 (9.4)

MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 LIVE: SKY taking charge

Suryakumar Yadav seems to have only one tactic against Suyash Sharma. Coming across his stumps and going for the sweep on every occasion. Gets one boundary, but Suyash bowls a decent over otherwise. Just 5 runs off the over, as RCB pull things back again.

MI 78/2 (9)

MI vs RCB LIVE: 14 off the over

Expensive opening over for Krunal Pandya. Will Jacks also coming to the party, gets 4 runs with a cheeky reverse sweep. Much-needed big over for MI, who were just starting to lose track of the required run rate.

MI 73/2 (8)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Can Will Jacks step up?

Will Jacks has made 18 off 11 balls, but he hasn’t given the explosive charge that MI desperately need in this run chase. Remember, he was purchased for Rs 5.25 crore at the mega auction. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav picks up two boundaries off Krunal Pandya. One down the ground, then over the covers.

MI vs RCB LIVE: Unsuccessful DRS

Suryakumar Yadav survives. Jitesh Sharma once again went up animatedly for a caught-behind, but the umpire gave not out. RCB take the DRS once more, but this one shows no edge on UltraEdge. 

MI 57/2 (6.4)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Suyash Sharma in!

Impact Sub for RCB! Mystery spinner Suyash Sharma comes in, Devdutt Padikkal goes out. A great hand with the bat by Padikkal today. Now, will Jacks and SKY go after Suyash? They need to start playing the big shots.

MI 55/2 (6.1)

MI vs RCB LIVE: Great over by Hazlewood

Magnificent spell so far by Josh Hazlewood. Puts the brakes on MI, and it’s the first over of the innings without a boundary. Started off with four consecutive dots against Suryakumar, and then only two singles. 1/6 in his two overs for the Aussie.

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

SIX and 50 up for Mumbai Indians! Dayal was bowling a good over, but Will Jacks ends it with a bang. Short ball, whipped away for a maximum by Jacks. Important for MI to build a partnership with two experienced players at the crease.

MI 52/2 (5)

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)
