Vaibhav Suryavanshi hit 10 sixes
The target was 221 runs and obviously Rajasthan needed an explosive start for this. Captain Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi did the same. Suryavanshi played very slowly in the beginning but Jaiswal created a ruckus in Lucknow. This player batted aggressively and scored 43 runs and after this, Suryavanshi also opened her hands in the power play. Both added 75 runs in 39 balls. Jaiswal’s wicket fell in the powerplay but Suryavanshi remained on the field.
Suryavanshi attacked in the 9th over
Vaibhav Suryavanshi put his top gear in the 9th over. This player hit 3 sixes and 2 fours in the over of Aakash Singh. In the 10th over, Suryavanshi completed fifty in 23 balls and after this he hit a total of 4 sixes while hitting Prince Yadav and Mayank Yadav. When Vaibhav Suryavanshi was close to his century, he became the victim of Mohsin Khan’s slower ball and his innings ended 7 runs before the century. However, despite Suryavanshi being out, Rajasthan did not face any problem in winning. Dhruv Jurel completed his half-century in 37 balls and Rajasthan won the match by 7 wickets.
