Yashasvi Jaiswal’s outstanding century propelled Rajasthan Royals to a commanding nine-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians on Monday. This marked RR’s seventh victory of the season, solidifying their dominance at the top of the standings with a four-point lead.
Despite recording impressive scores last season, Jaiswal had faced an unexpected dip in performance this year. However, he dispelled any doubts with his exceptional knock against MI. He reached his century swiftly in 59 balls and sealed the victory with a four off the penultimate over’s fourth delivery.
This remarkable century is Jaiswal’s second in the IPL, with both coming against MI. He joins an exclusive group of players who have scored multiple centuries against the same team, which includes KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, David Warner, and Jos Buttler.
Furthermore, Jaiswal’s achievement makes him the youngest player to score two centuries in IPL history, showcasing his immense talent and potential. Reflecting on his performance, Jaiswal emphasized the importance of focusing on the basics and maintaining a clear mindset during challenging times. His ability to execute proper cricketing shots and overcome pressure has been instrumental in his return to form.
