Watch: Virat Kohli's Wild Celebration As RCB Beat MI. Don't Miss Hardik, Rohit's Reaction

Pulled out retired hurt by Mumbai Indians in their previous match, Tilak Varma hammered a half-century off 26 balls and raised 89 runs for the fifth wicket with Hardik Pandya, but their effort went in vain as Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated the five-time winners by 12 runs in Match 21 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 here on Monday. Varma hammered a brilliant 56 off 29 balls and skipper Hardik Pandya blasted 42 off 15 to propel Mumbai Indians from needing 132 off 56 balls to 41 off 18, However, RCB ended their sensational fightback as Bhuvneshwar Kumar sent back Varma, and Josh Hazlewood got Hardik in the death overs.

From Mumbai needing 28 runs off 12 balls, they succumbed as Krunal Pandya claimed three wickets in the final over, including the wickets of Mitchell Santner, who struck a six off Hazlewood, and Deepak Chahar off successive balls.

Though Boult survived the hat-trick delivery, a wide, and Naman Dhir struck a four, to make it 12 needed off two balls to take it to a super over, two off successive balls, Krunal got Naman Dhir on the fifth ball to seal a memorable victory over MI in a thriller.

Krunal Pandya ended with 4-45 while Yash Dayal (2-46) and Hazlewood (2-37) came good with the ball to restrict Mumbai Indians to 209/9 after quickfire half-centuries by Virat Kohli (67) and Rajat Patidar (64) helped RCB post a massive 221/5 to register their first win at the Wankhede Stadium since 2015 and end a 10-year jinx.

After being hammered around by the RCB batters, Mumbai Indians landed in trouble with Rohit Sharma (17 off 9) and Ryan Rickelton (17 off 10) falling to Dayal and Hazlewood.
