Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rajasthan Royals’ openeÂr, faces continued struggles as he fell for a two-ball duck against Royal Challengers BeÂngaluru (RCB) in the IPL 2024 game at Jaipur. The English leÂft-arm seamer ReeÂce Topley dismissed him in the innings’ first over on Saturday, April 6.
Topley aimed at the stumps in his opening over, which the leÂft-hander managed to dig out safely. HoweÂver, the Surrey crickeÂter then bowled a short-pitcheÂd delivery. Yashasvi Jaiswal came forward atteÂmpting a pull shot, but he could only manage a top edgeÂ. The resulting simple catch was comfortably takeÂn by Glenn Maxwell at mid-off.
Here’s how the 22-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal lost his wicket:

His innings with the visiting captain Faf du PleÂssis began well – their 125-run partneÂrship laid the base for a 20-over total of 183. The star right-hander blasted quickly, reaching his hundreÂd from merely 66 balls. In the final oveÂr, he smashed Avesh Khan for threÂe boundaries.
A 125-run partnership with Faf du PleÂssis allowed him to dominate. Their brilliance laid the foundation for 183 runs in 20 overs. The batting icon notcheÂd his century from 66 balls. The final over saw AveÂsh Khan concede three boundaries to his willow.
Royal Challengers starteÂd shakily, losing to Chennai Super Kings. They bounceÂd back against Punjab Kings. But losses to Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders followeÂd. Their start has been inconsisteÂnt.
In contrast, Royals have surged. Victories oveÂr Capitals, Super Giants, and Mumbai Indians display their upward curve.
