Yashasvi Jaiswal Seeks Inspiration from Rohit Sharma as Rajasthan Royals Beat Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s admiration for Rohit Sharma was on full display as the young Rajasthan Royals opener rushed to embrace his idol after a stunning nine-wicket victory over the Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2024 clash on Monday.

The camaraderie between the two India openers was evident as Jaiswal, who partners with Rohit at the top of the order for the national team, shared a heartwarming moment with his senior counterpart. In a video shared by Rajasthan Royals on ‘X’, Jaiswal could be seen hugging Rohit in a gesture of respect and admiration.

Jaiswal’s unbeaten century off just 60 balls played a crucial role in RR’s successful chase of MI’s target of 179 runs. His stellar performance, supported by contributions from Jos Buttler and captain Sanju Samson, secured the Royals their seventh win in eight matches.

Despite Sandeep Sharma’s impressive five-wicket haul for MI, the visitors managed to post a competitive total, thanks to Tilak Varma and Nehal Wadhera’s valuable contributions with the bat.

The bond between Jaiswal and Rohit was further highlighted in a social media post by RR, where Jaiswal credited Rohit for helping him maintain a positive mindset. With his recent century and consistent performances across formats, Jaiswal is likely to retain his spot as Rohit’s opening partner for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Jaiswal’s admiration for Rohit Sharma not only reflects his respect for the senior player but also serves as a source of inspiration for the young cricketer as he continues to make his mark in the world of cricket.
