Yashasvi settled at the crease for Mumbai
Talking about Yashasvi Jaiswal’s century innings against Rajasthan, it came in very difficult circumstances. Rajasthan had taken a huge lead of 300 plus runs in the first innings. In such a situation, Mumbai needed a good start in the second innings to avert the crisis looming over them. The pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Musheer Khan made the beginning for the Mumbai team. Both the batsmen together added 149 runs for the opening wicket.
Musheer Khan was out after scoring 63 runs in the second innings. But, Yashasvi Jaiswal remained steadfast and completed his century.
