During Thursday's IPL 2025 encounter against the RR in Jaipur, MI’s Suryakumar Yadav was spotted looking for a lost ball with the press photographers. He was unsure of where the ball had fallen and discovered the bowler had a new one in hand. As a result, RR joined CSK as the second franchise to be eliminated.
The second inning of the game included a humorous moment that had everyone in stitches. Dhruv Jurel, a batsman and wicketkeeper for Rajasthan, turned inside out against Karn Sharma in the ninth over, hitting him for a flat six over extra cover.
Suryakumar and the photographers couldn't find the ball, and the former was so focused on finding it that he didn't notice the bowler had chosen the second ball.

The five-time IPL champions finally secured a victory at Jaipur stadium after more than a decade, triumphing for the first time since 2012. Mumbai posted a commanding 217/2 before restricting the home team to just 117.
Openers Ryan Rickelton (61) and Rohit Sharma (53) laid a solid foundation with a 116-run stand, followed by Hardik Pandya (48 not out) and Suryakumar Yadav (48 not out), who added an unbroken 94-run third-wicket partnership to help Mumbai equal the stadium’s highest-ever IPL total.
Mumbai’s pace attack dismantled RR’s chase early, reducing them to 62/5 in the powerplay. Deepak Chahar (1/13) dismissed star batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi for a two-ball duck in the first over, while Jasprit Bumrah (2/15) and Trent Boult (3/28) chipped in with two wickets each.
Later, Karn Sharma tore through the lower order, emerging as Mumbai’s standout bowler with figures of 3/23.
MI won the game by 100 runs against RR and have now won 6 games in a row. With this win, they went to the top of IPL 2025 points table with 7 wins from 11 games and 14 points.
