1. Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals – Match 56 (2014)
In 2014, Mumbai Indians (MI) faced Rajasthan Royals (RR) in a crucial match at the Wankhede Stadium, with a playoff spot on the line. Rajasthan, already leading in points and run rate, just needed to prevent MI from winning with a better run rate. On the other hand, MI not only had to win but also had to surpass Rajasthan’s run rate to qualify for the playoffs.
Rajasthan’s Innings: Rajasthan started strong. Sanju Samson and Karun Nair pushed the score with a steady partnership, reaching 134-2 by the 15th over. Late contributions by Brad Hodge and James Faulkner boosted RR’s total to a challenging 189 runs.
Mumbai’s Chase: The target was 190, but they needed to score it in just 14.3 overs. MI started poorly, losing openers early. Corey Anderson, however, played aggressively, keeping MI in the game. Ambati Rayudu joined him, and together, they pushed MI closer. With the scores tied, Rayudu was run out, leaving MI needing a boundary to qualify. Aditya Tare hit a six off James Faulkner’s next ball, sparking wild celebrations as MI secured their playoff spot, knocking RR out.
