Mumbai Indians finally opened their account in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League with a five-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals on Saturday. Seasoned Suryakumar Yadav and young Tilak Varma gave the best 35th birthday present to their skipper Rohit Sharma as Mumbai Indians finally opened their account.

The spin legend's death from a suspected heart attack aged 52 on March 4 shocked the cricketing world, with Royals saying he "made us believe".

Kuldeep Yadav is a man on a mission, proving all his doubters wrong with every passing match in IPL 2022. After a tumultuous couple of years where he lost his form and also his place in the KKR team as well as the Indian team due to form and injuries, the left-arm spinner is well and truly back to his best. He spun a web around his former team KKR on Thursday, taking four wickets for 13 off three overs for Delhi Capitals to take his total tally of wickets this season to 17, only one behind current leader of the Purple Cap race Yuzvendra Chahal.
On a three-match winning streak, Rajasthan Royals have the momentum as well as source of inspiration when they face bottom-placed and out-of-reckoning Mumbai Indians in an Indian Premier League match here on Saturday.

During a recent chat with RR teammate Ravichandran Ashwin, Buttler revealed that former Pakistan spinner Mushtaq Ahmed helped him identify his weak areas and overturn them.
