Yashasvi Jaiswal scored an excellent 104* off 60 – his second IPL ton and his second against Mumbai Indians – to backup an excellent five-fer from Sandeep Sharma as Rajasthan Royals thumped a hapless Mumbai Indians at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur for their seventh of the season, a drubbing of the five-time champions that edged the hosts closer to a Playoffs berth.
It was the returning Sandeep’s 5 for 18 that was instrumental in keeping Mumbai Indians down to a sub-par total of 179, a score that Jaiswal helped chase down with nine wickets and eight balls to spare, thereby signalling his return to form after a subdued start to the season.
