Rivalry between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals in cricket is greater than a cricket game; it’s a story of two cities, it’s a battle of two most ardent fan groups, it’s a battle of two territories. When Rajasthan Royals play Mumbai Indians, it’s not just another cricket match; it’s a heavyweight championship bout where one has been the big dominant champion for some time. The Mumbai Indians have been the dominant bully that just seems to keep winning everything, like they’ve got RR’s number time and again for years. But RR is not done yet, RR will always be that team, that even when nobody believes they’ll do anything, they just explode in brilliance.
RR, the pink brigade, brings that little bit of Rajasthan magic to the IPL bash. They have had a few heartbreaks and head-scratching moments in their past, but RR is that friend who trips and falls and grins and gets up again. Mumbai Indians are like that, really large, successful family business that has been so large that the business keeps growing and growing and expanding successfully. MI weren’t IPL royalty at the beginning; they had a slight tremor at the start of their innings, but then picked up and became an unbeatable force with an impeccable winning record.

It often took the shape of a “big brother-little brother” rapport, where MI took the upper hand. In the initial phase of their rivalry, there was no confusion when MI was involved. They tended to do better than RR- it was simple for MI to determine how to emerge victorious, leaving RR supporters visibly agitated; sometimes MI was so superior that they appeared to be complete dominators, with extended winning streaks that appeared completely unbreakable by RR. Sometimes, though, there were those nights where RR could shine brighter than any other evening, at their home stadium, Sawai Mansingh Stadium. At Sawai Mansingh Stadium, RR was able to deliver some fireworks batting, which MI found impossible to chase big scores.
