However, despite his promising start, Yashasvi Jaiswal couldn’t capitalize on his innings to convert it into a bigger score. His dismissal came at a critical point in the game. In the 10th over, Cameron Green bowled a length ball aimed at the middle stump. Jaiswal attempted a ramp shot but missed, with the ball grazing his glove and being caught by the keeper. This led to his departure, marking a significant moment in the match as Rajasthan Royals lost their second wicket.
