Sandeep Sharma and Wanindu Hasaranga were ruled out of the match. Mumbai, led by Hardik Pandya, posted a mammoth total of 217/2 after being asked to bat first.

I Would Have Still Not Bought Vaibhav Suryavanshi - Abhinav Mukund
Abhinav Mukund said that RR could have better invested in strengthening the team’s bowling attack rather than in Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Nitish Rana. He added that bowlers like Avesh Khan, Chahal, Ashwin, Trent Boult, and Sandeep Sharma were the reason behind RR's success in previous seasons.
"I would have invested that money in a couple of good bowlers. Look at their bowling last year, forget the big names, you still got Avesh Khan, Chahal, Ashwin, Trent Boult, and Sandeep Sharma, these are five bankable proper bowlers," he added.
