IPL 2025: 5 milestones that can be achieved in today's RR vs MI match

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Mumbai Indians (MI) in match number 50 of IPL 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday, May 1. RR kept their faint hopes of qualifying for the playoffs alive by beating Gujarat Titans (GT) in their last match. On the other hand, MI extended their winning streak to five by getting the better of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 54 runs in their previous game.

Rajasthan, who have six points from 10 matches, chased down a target of 210 against GT at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi stunned Gujarat, with a record-breaking knock of 101 in 38 balls. His senior opener partner Yashasvi Jaiswal (70* off 40) also continued his good form.

Mumbai proved too good for LSG in their previous IPL 2025 match at the Wankhede Stadium. Batting first, the hosts posted an impressive total of 215-7 as Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan Rickelton smashed half-centuries. Jasprit Bumrah (4-22) and Trent Boult (3-20) then impressed with the ball in hand as LSG were bowled out for 161.

In the head-to-head battle, MI have a slender 15-14 lead over Rajasthan. Meanwhile, several significant landmarks could be achieved in match number 50 of IPL 2025 on Thursday in Jaipur. Here's a lowdown.
