MI vs RR highlights 2023: Rajasthan Royals’ Royal Start
After winning the toss, Rajasthan Royals decided to bat first, and the opening duo of RR Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal started the RR innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal started hitting sixes from the very first over, whereas Jos Buttler’s bat was calm at that time. In the 8th over, his bat was silenced for the rest of the match by Piyush Chawla, and he only managed to score 18 runs.
Sanju Samson came to the crease and looked promising for his caliber as he hit a six in the very first ball of his innings but got out by making just 14 runs. Later, Devdutt Padikkal got trapped by Piyush Chawla. On the other hand, Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his remarkable innings and started accelerating his game, and in the 18th over, the moment came that he was waiting for when he hit a four and his first maiden tonne in the IPL.
He continued his innings, and in the final over of the innings, he was caught and bowled by Arshad Khan. Yashasvi scored 124 runs in his inning and helped his team put 212 runs on the scoreboard.
MI vs RR highlights 2023: Mumbai Indians didn’t start good:
To chase a mammoth target of 213 runs, the Mumbai Indians opened their innings with birthday boy Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan, and after hitting two fours in the first over of their innings, Sandeep Sharma managed to dismiss Rohit Sharma in the second over of the innings. Cameron Green joined the crease, and he started playing the game he is known for. Ishan Kishan also hit some shots but only managed to make 28 runs and got dismissed in the 9th over of the game.
Surya Kumar Yadav joined the crease, and he hit Ashwin for a six in the very first ball he played, making a declaration of his coming to the stage. He started playing shots all over the ground and scored his fifty in just 20 balls. Cameron Green became the 300th victim of Ashwin’s spin bowling in T20 cricket. Sky was dismissed by Trent Boult when he tried playing his favourite shot, followed by a phenomenal catch by Sandeep Sharma. But now Tim David came to the crease when MI needed his special innings, and he delivered that; he made 45 runs in just 14 balls and won the match for his team. He hit three sixes in a row against Jason Holder when MI needed 17 runs to seal the victory in the final over of the game.
MI vs RR highlights 2023: Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Maiden ton in IPL
Yashasvi Jaiswal, the left-handed Indian batter, now became the fourth youngest player in the history of the IPL to make a century; he scored 124 runs in just 62 balls. The way this left-handed batter played in the 1000th match of the IPL made every cricketer, whether in his team or opposite, a fan of his talent. He hit 16 fours and 8 sixes in his innings, and though his team ended on the losing side, he has shown the world what he is capable of. He is now the leading run scorer in the IPL 2023, and I hope we will continue going like this in the upcoming matches. Post-match, Rohit Sharma said some words of praise to Yashasvi Jaiswal, which were:
“I was just asking him, ‘Where is that power coming from’. Because last year I did not see so many sixes. He was timing it so nicely. He said he’s been spending a lot of time in the gym which is good because he has got a lot of talent and the kind of domestic season he has had, he has taken that form into the IPL. I wish that he continues that form. It’s good for him, for Indian cricket and obviously good for RR”

Mi vs RR highlights 2023: Tim David Short and Powerful Cameo
The Australian right-hand batter showed his power and big runs-scoring capability in the last match. When he came to the crease, the hopes of the Mumbai Indians to win the match were diminishing as the set batter Surya Kumar Yadav departed, and MI at that time needed 58 more runs to win the match with only 26 balls remaining. On the other hand, Tilak Varma was holding the position but wasn’t looking in his touch. Tim David bounced on bowlers like a hungry lion and started his innings in his style, and the way he ended the match by hitting three consecutive sixes to Sandeep Sharma was some style of finishing a high-scoring chase.
“I`ve been hungry. Haven`t finished like that, so it was amazing. The team`s so excited. The other boys have been putting in big performances and I`ve been waiting for my chance. I am really pleased I took it. I`ve been hungry to finish off games like that. It plays on your mind because you want to do it. Trying to stay in the present and just enjoy it when it comes”

Mi vs RR highlights 2023: Post-Match:
Both teams performed well in the last match, but it’s the fate of the game that one has to lose and the other to win. Mumbai Indian batters showed courage to achieve that huge target, and the Rajasthan Royals couldn’t defend their total. Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson has to work on his batting as his return to form can boost the morale of the team, the upcoming matches will be crucial for the Rajasthan Royals.
