A royal send-off to Mumbai Indians

Rajasthan Royals kept its playoffs hopes alive with a comprehensive seven-wicket win over the other playoff aspirant Mumbai Indians.

Royals, once again, owed it to the smashing Jos Buttler (94) who's fifth consecutive half-century placed the team on course. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane (37) struck a fruitful partnership with Buttler, which eventually settled the issue.
