(Cricket news) The Rajasthan Royals (RR) maintained the top spot in the TATA IPL 2024 by picking up a nine-wicket win over the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur on Monday. Batting first, Mumbai scored a total of 179 runs which Rajasthan chased down with eight balls to spare for their seventh win of the tournament. JioCinema TATA IPL experts Brett Lee, and Mike Hesson praised Yashasvi Jaiswal (104* runs), Sandeep Sharma (5/18), and Yuzvendra Chahal (1/48) on Match Centre Live.
Brett Lee, JioCinema TATA IPL expert, on Sandeep Sharma – “They say a 4-fer is worth 100 runs in a T20, so a 5-fer for a bowler is definitely worth 120 for a batter, it’s quality bowling… To pick up 5/18 in his comeback game, just makes you feel like you are part of the team again. It will do a lot for his confidence. You can see in the list of TATA IPL 2024’s best figures and he’s sitting pretty on it.”
Lee on Yuzvendra Chahal picking his 200th IPL wicket – “What a very special moment. You think about all the hard work,. A great way to bring in your 200th dismissal in the TATA IPL, a catch off your own bowling, very special, well done. I have a feeling, gentleman, there’s many more to come.”
Mike Hesson, JioCinema TATA IPL expert, on Yashasvi Jaiswal – “He looked in complete control from the word go. He was able to go through his gears, he was able to use his feet to disperse, and we know he can access both sides. He took on Bumrah as well. You can see how much it means to him, worked so hard over the last eight matches. That was a fine hundred.”
