After a flying start and reasonable middle overs, the Rajasthan Royals innings seemed to have hit a roadblock with the dismissal of the well-set Yashasvi Jaiswal in the IPL match against Chennai Super Kings at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Thursday night.
It all came down to how the Royals batters would deal with the death overs. Not for the first time this season, Dhruv Jurel put his hand up. His blistering 34 off 15 balls and his 48-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Devdutt Padikkal took Royals to what would be a formidable total; it was also the first time a team was scoring 200 or more in the 15-year history of the IPL.
