Mumbai Indians kept their chances of making the IPL playoffs in 2023 alive with an impressive six-wicket victory over the Rajasthan Royals in a high-scoring thriller at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 124 runs off 62 balls took RR to 212 in 20 overs.
Former India player Robin Uthappa complimented the young opener for his knock, terming Jaiswal the “next superstar” of India. “He’s one of the next superstars of Indian cricket. He is hungry to prove himself. He is working extremely hard this season. Yashasvi hit sixteen fours and eight brilliant sixes,” said Uthappa.
Parthiv Patel spoke about Tim David’s finishing ability and significance in the game’s shortest format. “Tim David can deliver under pressure and help the team win games. The finisher’s role is crucial when you are chasing a big total. Tim David’s innings was laced with a high strike rate that you need in the daeth overs. He’s got the reach and strength to punish bowlers. He can smash a boundary or a six,” he said.
