RR amass 150/3 against MI in rain-truncated game
Guwahati (PTI): Rajasthan Royals posted a formidable 150 for three against Mumbai Indians in their truncated IPL match, which was reduced to 11-overs-a-side contest here on Tuesday following a rain delay.
Asked to bat first, openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi went all guns blazing from the get-go, putting on 80 runs in only 5 overs at the Barsapara Stadium.
Jaiswal top-scored with an unbeaten 77 off 32 balls, while the 15-year-old Sooryavanshi plundered 39 runs in just 14 balls, including whacking the great Jasprit Bumrah for two sixes in his very first over.
Sooryavanshi smashed five sixes and a four in his whirlwind knock, while Jaiswal struck 10 boundaries and four maximums during his entertaining stay in the middle.
The start of the match was delayed by over two-and-a-half hours due to persistent rain.
Brief scores:
Rajasthan Royals: 150/3 in 11 overs (Yashasvi Jaiswal not out 77, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi 39).

US rules out use of nuclear weapons against Iran
Washington DC: The White House has reportedly ruled out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, even as uncertainty continues over ongoing peace negotiations and a deadline set by US President Donald Trump approaches.
Issues bout a possible escalation had increased after US Vice President JD Vance said that the United States has “tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use” in dealing with Iran.
His remarks came amid rising tensions and ahead of a deadline linked to peace efforts.
The situation has attracted attention as Trump warned Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight tonight” if an agreement is not reached by Tuesday at 8 pm.
This statement led to speculation about the possibility of extreme military measures, including a nuclear strike.
Following Vance’s comments, the White House issued a clarification distancing itself from such interpretations. In a post on X, it said, "Literally nothing @VP said here 'implies' this, you absolute buffoons." In a later statement, it added that “only the president knows” what action will be taken regarding Iran.
