In the 42nd match of the Indian Premier League 2023, Mumbai Indians beat Rajasthan Royals by six wickets at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. Riding on Yashasvi Jaiswal’s amazing century, RR posted a massive total of 212/7 in 20 overs. MI, with the help of Tim David and Suryakumar Yadav‘s amazing batting performances, chased it in the last over.

Batting first after winning the toss, Rajasthan Royals got an amazing start as opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, along with Jos Buttler, hammered MI bowlers all around the park. The duo added 72 runs off 50 balls for the first wicket. Buttler scored 18 runs off 19 balls with the help of two boundaries and a six. However, he was dismissed by Piyush Chawla in the eighth over of the game.

After his departure, Jaiswal, single-handedly, took RR to a massive total as he scored 124 runs off 62 balls with the help of 16 boundaries and eight maximums. Jaiswal hammered every bowler before getting dismissed on a controversial delivery.

As he was given out by the officials, the ball seemed to be a waist-height no ball. Nevertheless, Rajasthan Royals scored 212/7 in overs. For MI, Arshad Khan shined with the bowl as he clinched three wickets. Meanwhile, Ace spinner Piyush Chawla clinched two wickets in the game. Pacer Jofra Archer and Riley Meredith clinched a wicket each.
