David Blitz Helps MI Win Despite Jaiswal Tonne

Tim David’s unbeaten 45 off 14 balls helped Mumbai Indians to achieve the highest successful chase at the Wankhede Stadium, rendering Yashasvi Jaiswal’s maiden IPL hundred earlier in the day useless.

The match marked IPL’s 1000th game (excluding seven washed out contests) and witnessed several milestones.

When Suryakumar Yadav got out, MI needed 58 runs off 26 balls, a tricky phase of play for the hosts as Tilak Varma wasn’t at his absolute best. Fortunately, they had the experienced Tim David at the end.

Rajasthan Royals’ decision to bowl out Trent Boult by the 18th over gave MI two clear overs to make the required 32 runs.

Sandeep Sharma bowled the penultimate over but conceded a six and a four.

Jason Holder then smashed three consecutive sixes off the first three balls of the final over, diffusing what could have been a tight finish.

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bat first on a ground known for favoring chasing teams.

They scored 212/7, with Yashasvi Jaiswal being the standout performer, scoring 124 runs.

However, MI’s batsmen chipped in with useful cameos, including Cameron Green’s 44 off 26, Suryakumar Yadav’s 55 off 29, and Tilak Varma’s 29* off 21.

The dew on the ground made batting easier, and RR did not have enough buffer runs to defend.

Jaiswal was the star of the show, hitting 16 fours and 8 sixes in his innings, which included a hooked six against Cameron Green and an encore against Jofra Archer.

He reached his hundred with another pull off Riley Meredith and ended up with the highest individual score by an uncapped player in IPL.

Piyush Chawla impressed with his bowling, dismissing both Jos Buttler and Devdutt Padikkal with his googly.

Suryakumar Yadav’s innings was also crucial, including a first-ball six and a ramp off a short ball that was periscoped over the keeper’s head.

Sandeep Sharma bowled Rohit Sharma and took a stunning catch, but then conceded 15 runs in the 19th over, which ended up hurting RR in the end.

MI needed 17 runs off the last over, but Tim David smashed three consecutive sixes to finish the match with three balls to spare.
