Rajasthan Royals (RR) batter Yashasvi Jaiswal has returned to form in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 after having a lean patch in the league. The batter played a sensational innings against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Monday (22nd April) at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal, who got out after starts in the last few games, made sure that he lives up to the expectations in the game against Mumbai Indians (MI). The left-hander oozed his class with the bat and helped his team register their 9th win of the tournament.

Yashasvi Jaiswal first stitched 74 runs partnership with Jos Buttler (35) but once the senior batter was back in the hut, he took the onus to himself and made sure that he outplayed Mumbai Indians out of the game as he attacked each and every bowler at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal first reached his half-century, which was his first in the season. The batter looked relaxed after that and his celebration of reaching the milestone was proof of that. He looked extremely jubilant as he did a 'muscle celebration' while looking at the dressing room.
