"Jazball" Twitter erupts as Yashasvi Jaiswal smashes his second IPL hundred against MI
Yashasvi Jaiswal registered a 59-ball ton in RR vs MI clash at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Match No. 38 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 was played between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. It was the rematch of match No. 14, which was played earlier this season at the Wankhede Stadium. RR won that game, and they have made a double of that win after winning the recent game as well. And it came after an incredible century from Yashasvi Jaiswal.
The left-hander, who struggled throughout the season and didnāt have a fifty before this game, went on to register his second century in the IPL. Notably, he registered his maiden IPL hundred against MI as well in 2023. He didnāt score many runs but it was a great way to regain his form.

Adding to that, he also became only the second batter after KL Rahul to smash multiple centuries against MI. Jaiswal added 74 runs for the opening wicket in eight overs with Jos Buttler (35 off 25).
Once Buttler got out, he added an unbeaten 109 runs for the second wicket with skipper Sanju Samson (38 off 28) to seal the deal for RR. Following his century, cricketing fraternity across social media lauded the youngster.
