**Jaipur, [Date]:** Yashasvi Jaiswal’s blistering 75 powered Rajasthan Royals to a challenging 174/7 against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in a low-scoring encounter at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium here today. The young opener, despite a slow pitch, dominated the RCB bowling attack, smashing his second half-century of the season.
Jaiswal reached his fifty off just 35 balls and continued his aggressive approach, eventually falling after a whirlwind innings that included 10 fours and two sixes. His strike rate soared from 142.86 at the halfway mark to 159.57 by the time he was dismissed. No other Rajasthan batsman managed to cross 35 runs. Sanju Samson provided a steady start alongside Jaiswal but was eventually stumped. Dhruv Jurel contributed 35 and Riyan Parag scored 30, while Shimron Hetmyer failed to make an impact, scoring only 9 off 8 balls.
For RCB, the wickets were shared among Krunal Pandya, Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Yash Dayal, with each claiming one scalp.
The 174-run target presents a significant challenge for RCB on a pitch that significantly slowed down the scoring rate in the first innings. Rajasthan’s bowlers will be confident of their chances given the nature of the wicket.
