Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a magnificent century against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League 2024. The 9-wicket win was Rajasthan’s seventh, and they need just one more win from six matches to qualify for the playoffs. The southpaw has hit two hundred in the cash-rich league, with both coming against Mumbai.
After the match, he spoke to Sunil Gavaskar, and the legendary cricketer asked a bizarre question, which made the young batter uncomfortable.
Sunil Gavaskar: You have scored two IPL hundreds against Mumbai Indians. You come from Mumbai. Why don’t you score hundreds against other teams?
Yashasvi didn’t like the question and felt uneasy. He didn’t say anything on Mumbai’s connection.
Yashasvi Jaiswal: I was watching the ball and played my shots. I am trying to keep doing what I do. I don’t have anything in mind. I want to thank all my seniors for guiding me. Sanga sir and Sanju Bhai gave me opportunities.
The southpaw was unbeaten on 104 off 60, laced with 9 fours and 7 sixes, as Rajasthan completed the chase of 180 in 18.1 overs.
Sandeep Sharma was named the Player of the Match for taking five wickets.
