Well played, Jaiswal - 60 from 31 balls, he has 2 fifties from just 3 innings in IPL 2023.

The opening pair managed to accumulate an impressive 98 runs before Mukesh Kumar was able to remove Yashasvi after he scored 60 runs in 31 balls. Unfortunately, Rajasthan's skipper Sanju Samson was dismissed for a duck by Kuldeep Yadav shortly after. Despite this setback, Jos Buttler has remained steadfast in the middle and has achieved a remarkable half-century in just 32 balls.
