‘Mahirat ke charche har jagah’ – Fans react to Yashasvi Jaiswal’s ‘learnt a lot from MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli’ remark after RR vs CSK IPL 2023 game

At Jaipur on Thursday, the Rajasthan Royals snapped a two-game losing streak by defeating MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings by 32 runs to retake the top spot in the IPL 2023 points table. In their 200th game, RR secured a crucial victory and snapped the vistor’s three-game winning streak.

However, the middle-order batters’ heroics were in vain, as Adam Zampa picked up three wickets. Yashasvi Jaiswal had hit 77 runs in 43 balls earlier to help Sanju Samson’s men reach 202/5. Shivam Dube smashed a half-century, his third in IPL 2023. In the post-match presentation, Jaiswal was handed the Man of the Match award, and he credited MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli for having taught him a lot. Yashasvi Jaiswal said, “I’ve learnt a lot from MS Dhoni bhaiya and Virat Kohli bhaiya”.

RR defeated CSK by 32 runs in IPL 2023

In reply, despite the efforts of Dube and Ravindra Jadeja, CSK could only reach 170/6. Rajasthan Royals have now defeated CSK twice in IPL 2023, but today’s victory was very significant. After their defeat, Dhoni’s men dropped to third place in the standings. Earlier, RR had won the toss and Samson decided to bat first. The home team scored 202 runs in just 20 overs, thanks to Jaiswal’s incredible knock.

While Jos Buttler only scored 27 runs in 21 balls, Jaiswal hit eight boundaries and four sixes. Samson struggled, scoring 17 off of 17, while Dhurv Jurel stood out as he hammered 34 from only 15 balls, forming a critical partnership with Devdutt Padikkal.

Dhoni dismissed Jurel with a pinpoint throw, but Padikkal hit a boundary on the penultimate delivery of the innings to push the score above 200, as he came back undefeated at 27 from 13. The way CSK started their chase would haunt the four-time winners as Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad could not take advantage of the opening overs.

Samson brought in his spinners, especially Zampa, who only played because Trent Boult had an injury problem. The Australian spinner took 3 wickets while only allowing 22 runs in 3 overs. Gaikwad, who came close to reaching his fifty with 47 off 29 balls, Dube, with 52 runs, and Jadeja, with 23 runs, could not lead the visitors to their fourth straight victory; instead, the Royals snapped their two-game losing streak.
