On Sunday, MI captain Rohit Sharma applauded rival batter Yashasvi Jaiswal. I was surprised to see the youngest’s marvellous performance against his own team, as per Rohit’s statement.
Mumbai Indians chased down the target of 213 runs against RR to clinch the match by 6 wickets in a thrilling 1000th IPL game at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Jaiswal, who sent Cameron Green to the stands on the fourth ball of the first over, was unquestionably the star of the evening. His innings exuded quality as he found space when there was none and scored his first IPL century with several powerful strokes. His innings, which included 16 boundaries and 8 maximums, helped his team to a respectable total.
Yashasvi Jaiswal lit up the Wankhede Stadium with a whirlwind 124 off 62 balls to power RR to a daunting 212/7.
It was a splendid innings on a special occasion, as Mumbai was treated to a run-fest at the brimmed Wankhede Stadium.
“I watched Jaiswal last year; he’s taken it to the next level. I asked him, “Where did you get the power from?” He said he’s been going to the gym; that’s good for him, India, and RR,” Rohit said at the post-match presentation.
Rohit expressed his satisfaction with the team’s approach to pursuing the high total.
“It was encouraging to see how we tracked the target down. We nearly beat them in the previous game as well, so we positioned ourselves to pursue them. So it was enjoyable. Tim (David) is extremely talented and powerful. That is beneficial and helpful in the long run, Rohit continued.
