In an interesting exchange, Mumbai Indians’s long-standing bowling coach until last year, Shane Bond, went to Rajasthan Royals this year while Lasith Malinga, who was with RR for 2022 and 2023, is now with MI in the same capacity.
Bond’s knowledge of MI’s players helped RR defeat them by six wickets on Monday at the Wankhede, chasing down 126 in just 15.3 overs. Riyan Parag remained unbeaten on 54, his second consecutive fifty, and took his tally to 181 runs in three innings.
