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