MI vs RR IPL 2023 Highlights: Yashasvi Jaiswal would have strolled into the Wankhede Stadium, on that hard and flat deck of his home city, licking his lips on Sunday if he had been in the form he has been in throughout this IPL season. After enhancing Rajasthan Royals' (RR) batting performance against Mumbai Indians (MI) with a magnificent century, the young man from Mumbai strolled off with his bat and helmet raised and bowed.
The left-handed opener's 124 (62b, 16x4, 8x6) comprised more than fifty percent of the visitors' 212/7, which was insufficient. Suryakumar Yadav's authoritative 29-ball 55 gave MI wings, while Tim David's audacious unbeaten 45 off 14 deliveries carried them home with three balls and six wickets to spare. With 17 required from the final over bowled by Jason Holder, the large Australian batsman completed the game with three consecutive sixes.
Jaiswal began his first IPL century with a pair of sixes, the second off Jofra Archer soaring outside the stadium. Archer was on target with his velocity (two 148kph deliveries to Jaiswal stood out), but his line to Jos Buttler, who required eight balls to score a run, was off. Jaiswal made amends by smashing Riley Meredith for four fours in a single over, including several precise drives, as RR raced to 58 runs in five overs.
Arshad Khan sent back Sanju Samson, while Piyush Chawla forced Buttler to bowl out and removed Devdutt Padikkal off a googly.
At that point, with RR 103/3 after 11 overs, Jaiswal had reached fifty off 32 balls. He only took 21 more shots over the next fifty. As enterprising were the left-hander's shots, as he reverse-swept Chawla for six and danced down for four. Thus, even as MI continued to make advancements, Jaiswal continued to push forward for RR. Also at the end, he punished Meredith for three consecutive fours that propelled him into the triple digits in the 18th over. Then, he struck Archer for consecutive sixes over mid-off and square leg.
Rohit Sharma was dismissed in the second over by a slower delivery from Sandeep Sharma that cut away and left him flummoxed, thereby increasing the difficulty of the hosts' ascent. During a 58-run powerplay, Cameron Green (44, 26b) assaulted Trent Boult and swept R Ashwin for six. MI crossed 100 in the eleventh over after Ashwin responded by bowling Ishan Kishan and Green out with wide and full deliveries, respectively.

Yadav began his innings by slamming Ashwin to the ground for six with the first delivery he faced. He then proceeded to flick and ramp Ashwin for fours at will. Kuldeep Sen endured the brunt of Yadav's arsenal as he ripped him for six, four, four, and five not out in the 13th over, which yielded 20 runs and reversed Tilak Varma's LBW. With 61 required off 27, Sandeep ran backwards from short fine leg and plucked Yadav's top edge off Boult out of thin air. David and Varma found two boundaries in the succeeding overs, but David's three sixes clinched the match.
