Overview

  • Mumbai beat Himachal Pradesh by seven runs in Jaipur to secure a quarterfinal spot with a round to spare.
  • Stand-in captain Iyer, returning from an October spleen injury, struck 82 off 53 balls in a fog-shortened 33-over match, combining with Musheer Khan (73) and Suryakumar Yadav.
  • The leadership change followed Shardul Thakur’s calf injury, which ruled him out of the remainder of the tournament.
  • Iyer’s rehab included high-intensity sessions and a 50-over return-to-play simulation on January 2, with this game serving as his second RTP milestone before final sign-off.
  • He has been named India’s ODI vice-captain for the New Zealand series starting January 11 in Vadodara pending clearance, while Shivam Dube’s 4/68 sealed Mumbai’s win.
