In a thrilling match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Sandeep Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal shone as Rajasthan Royals secured a convincing nine-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians.

Sandeep Sharma, making a comeback after a month, was in top form as he picked up a five-wicket haul, finishing with figures of 5/18 in his four overs. His exceptional performance helped restrict Mumbai to a below-par total.

Chasing a target of 179, Jaiswal and Jos Buttler got Rajasthan off to a flying start in the PowerPlay, putting on 61 runs in the first six overs. Despite a rain delay, Jaiswal continued his aggressive approach and went on to score a brilliant century, his first of the season.

Buttler fell to Piyush Chawla, but Jaiswal, along with Captain Sanju Samson, guided the team to victory with a century partnership. Jaiswal completed his hundred in the penultimate over, sealing the win for Rajasthan.

Earlier in the day, Mumbai Indians struggled in the PowerPlay, losing key wickets early on. Despite some resistance from Suryakumar Yadav and Mohammad Nabi, they were unable to post a challenging total.

Overall, it was a memorable match for Rajasthan Royals, with Sandeep Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal playing pivotal roles in their team’s victory.
