After a comprehensive victory in their last outing, Rajasthan Royals will aim to continue their winning momentum and keep their IPL 2025 playoffs hopes alive when they host the Mumbai Indians at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday.
The RR vs MI IPL 2025 match on Thursday, May 1, starts at 7:30 PM IST and will be available to watch on live streaming and live telecast.
The Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians clash is also the highly anticipated Pink Promise match in IPL 2025.
The Royals’ Pink Promise is to continue supporting women-led transformation in Rajasthan.
Last year, the ‘Pink Promise’ campaign, along with support from partners like Luminous, illuminated thousands of lives by bringing light to over 250 homes.
To continue driving on-ground impact this year, the Royals will contribute ₹100 for every ticket purchased for the RR vs MI match toward women-led rural transformation in Rajasthan.
Additionally, all proceeds from the sale of the special all-pink Royals jersey will go directly to the Royal Rajasthan Foundation (RRF) to support its social impact initiatives.
Furthermore, for every six hit in the match by either team, Rajasthan Royals and RRF will commit to lighting up six homes in the Sambhar region with solar power, ensuring real-time impact with every boundary.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has scored five fifties this season and is the Royals’ leading scorer with 426 runs in 10 matches, will look to continue his great run of form at the top of the order.

The 23-year-old has also struck both his centuries in the IPL against Mumbai Indians, including an unbeaten 104 against them in Jaipur last year.
Jofra Archer, on the other hand, will spearhead the bowling attack. The Englishman has taken 12 wickets in six matches at an average of 13.66 and an economy of 6.83 against MI.

Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians players
Needless to say, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will be the cynosure of all eyes when he takes the field against MI.
The prodigious 14-year-old slammed the fastest century by an Indian player in the IPL and the second-fastest of all-time in his last outing against GT. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made a 38-ball 101 and got to his hundred in just 35 balls.
He also became the youngest centurion in the competition’s history and earned high praise from some of the legends of the game for his sublime knock.
He, along with his opening partner Jaiswal, will be hoping to provide RR with another solid platform after stitching together a 166-run partnership for the first wicket in the last match.
Spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, who is the team’s joint-top wicket-taker this season alongside Jofra Archer with 10 scalps, and veteran pacer Sandeep Sharma will have a decisive role to play with the ball.
The last time RR played MI in Jaipur in 2024, Sandeep Sharma produced a Player of the Match performance that saw him finish with figures of 5/18.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians will hope that their star players like Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult can make an impact against the Royals.
