In the IPL 2025 season, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) made a statement by beating Mumbai Indians (MI) by 12 runs in a high-contest match on Monday. This ended a 10-year slump at the Wankhede Stadium.  This was RCB's first win at the famous ground against MI since 2015; before this, they had lost every game there.

When RCB batted first, they made a huge score of 221 for 5. Virat Kohli had a great game, hitting 67 runs with two sixes and eight fours.  The game picked up speed in the middle overs thanks to Captain Rajat Patidar's fast hit of 64 off just 32 balls.  Jitesh Sharma came on late and scored important runs. He was unbeaten on 44 after only 19 deliveries, hitting four sixes and two boundaries.

Mumbai Indians had flashes of brilliance as they tried to reach a tough score of 222.  Rohit Sharma, who was back as an impact player, fell early after hitting 17 runs off of 9 balls.  Tilak Varma hit four sixes and four fours in a strong 56 off 29 balls to keep MI in the chase.  After taking two wickets for 45 runs, Hardik Pandya hit 42 runs off of just 15 balls, which was a very impressive performance.  MI could only score 209 for 9 in their 20 overs, even with the late assault.

After being away from cricket for three months, Jasprit Bumrah was the most effective bowler in the game, giving up only 29 runs in four overs without taking a wicket.
