Following Yashasvi Jaiswal's brilliant innings, where he notched up his second century in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with an unbeaten 104 runs off 60 balls, Rajasthan Royals secured a convincing nine-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians (MI).
In praising the youngster, RR skipper Sanju Samson conveyed that the left-handed batter has a self-assured demeanour. “People are professional enough about what to do when they get a break. I don't think Yashasvi needs advice from anyone. He's very confident,” said Sanju at the post-match presentation.
Yashasvi endured a challenging phase with the bat this season, facing considerable scrutiny as a result. Nonetheless, the 23-year-old shattered all barriers with a magnificent century, embellished with nine boundaries and an impressive tally of six maximums.
Meanwhile, the RR skipper also lauded his other teammates and spoke about how the wicket was.
“Credit has to go to all the players. Started well in the powerplay. In the middle, the left-handers played unbelievably. But the way we came back was where we won the game,” said Sanju.
“Wicket looked a bit dry. But when lights come on, and it gets colder in the night, it gets better to bat in the second innings,” he added.
