INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE | RR’S YASHASVI JAISWAL HOLDS ORANGE CAP WITH 170 RUNS
Guwahati, April 8: Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene admitted his side was blown off course by a blistering onslaught from Rajasthan Royals openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, saying the bowlers missed their lines and lengths on a night when even Jasprit Bumrah “probably missed the length by a little bit”.
Mumbai Indians suffered a 27-run defeat in a rain-curtailed IPL clash as Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi lit up the night with a blistering display that powered Rajasthan Royals to 150 for 3 in 11 overs before their bowlers tightened the screws to restrict Mumbai Indians to 123 for 9 on Tuesday night.
This was MI’s second loss after starting the season with a win over Kolkata Knight Riders.
“We were not good enough, and that’s what we have to work on. I think we had some plans, but…we never executed those plans the way we wanted. These guys are batting really well.” (PTI)
