Boult delivers to Suryakumar Yadav, and he’s Caught by Sandeep Sharma! What a catch! This could be the catch of the season from Sharma. The delivery was a slower one and outside off, Suryakumar attempted to ramp it over short fine leg but failed to connect it well.
Although he thought he had hit it well enough, the ball hung in the air for a while, giving Sharma enough time to sprint back from his position inside the circle, followed by a full-stretch dive. He timed it to perfection and clutched the ball securely in his left hand, as his whole body thudded onto the ground. With the ball firmly in his grasp, Sharma’s sensational catch could prove to be a game-changer.
Jaiswal was the star of the show, smashing an impressive 124 runs with commanding stroke play. He batted exceptionally well and led the Rajasthan Royals to a score beyond 200.
Although Buttler struggled initially and fell to Chawla, Samson and Padikkal also departed in the following overs, but Jaiswal kept up his excellent form. Except for Archer’s quiet over in the last stages, the Mumbai Indians’ bowlers were dominated.
Jaiswal’s fantastic innings helped the Rajasthan Royals to finish with a score of 212. In a previous game, Venky Iyer scored a century, but Mumbai Indians emerged victorious. As it is a chasing venue, Mumbai Indians would be confident in their ability to track down the target.
