In the Indian Premier League 2023 match on Sunday’s second game of the doubleheader at the Wankhede Stadium. Yashasvi Jaiswal maintained his impressive form and hit a 53-ball century against the Mumbai Indians. Rajasthan Royals, who got the toss and chose to bat, got off to a fantastic start thanks to Jaiswal, who stepped out to open the innings with Jos Buttler.
Before Piyush Chawla wrapped Buttler for 18 in a very anchor-like innings from him, the stand lasted for 72 runs, the pair got the team a brilliant start as they added 65 runs during the powerplay. After that, Sanju Samson contributed with a 10-ball 14, but was eventually bowled out by Arshad Khan.
After that, Chawla recorded his second wicket by dismissing Devdutt Padikkal for a score of 2. Jofra Archer removed Jason Holder for 11.R Ashwin was sent for batting alongside Jaiswal as Rajasthan looked to have a strong finish. The MI bowling were sent out for hiding barring Archer produced a quiet over in the closing stages. Jaiswal accrued 124 runs, and RR finished with 212 which is a great total.
Taking a look at the Mumbai Indians chase of this mammoth total at Wankhede Stadium: –
Ishan and Green combined 62 runs for the second wicket after the hosts lost captain Rohit Sharma early before Ashwin dismissed the wicketkeeper-batter for 28. The expert in carrom balls then dismissed Green for 44 in the following over.
Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav, who had joined the chase, were attempting to score goals whenever they pleased. Tilak Varma took his time to get things going while Surya showed off his form and was slamming the bowlers all over the place. Suryakumar lost his wicket at a very crucial moment due to a brilliant catch by Sandeep Sharma and all hopes looked over for Mumbai Indians.
But Tim David gave them the hope they needed as he scored vital boundaries to get the momentum back. Mumbai Indians required 17 runs off the final over and Jason Holder had been tasked to defend the Rajasthan total. But three back-to-back sixes from Tim David meant that Mumbai Indians chased the mighty total.

What hero bhai. 3 sixes of 3 full tosses, that too in the arc and ideal speed. Sure under pressure but that's the bare minimum expected out of any batsmen
