Rajasthan Royals lost the wicket of opener Yashasvi Jaiswal as Gujarat Titans took advantage of a blunder between the left-handed batsman and team captain Sanju Samson during their IPL 2023 encounter at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Friday.
RR were 47 for 1 in the sixth over as confusion among the batsmen sent Jaiswal back to the pavilion. The aggressive left-hander, who had scored a ton against Mumbai Indians in his previous outing, had to make his way back to the dugout after scoring 14 off 11 balls.
Samson cut Rashid Khan’s first ball of the sixth over to point, where it was caught by David Miller at full stretch, before Mohit Sharma ran down the gully to pick up the ball and edge it over the bowler’s edge for a simple run out. Thrown away.
Jaiswal, who almost reached the keeper’s end, was sent back by Samson, who initially started his run but decided not to continue with Miller’s effort.
