"Seemed To Be In Rush, Out Of Shape": Mohammed Shami's Blunt Take On Yashasvi Jaiswal's Poor Show vs DC

After starting the IPL 2024 on a strong footing, which saw them lead the points table, the Rajasthan Royals has now lost their last two matches. RR have 16 points from 11 matches and a play-off berth is very near. However, in a tough league like IPL, nothing can be said with certainty. The RR have three players - Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Yuzvendra Chahal - who are part of India's T20 World Cup squad. The three had contrasting fortunes in RR's latest loss against DC on Tuesday.

Chahal gave away 48 runs in 4 overs and took one wicket. Samson scores 86 off 46 balls and fought a great battle for RR. Jaiswal was out for 4 off two balls.

Indian cricket team pacer Mohammed Shami analysed the performances.

"I want to talk about Yashasvi Jaiswal. He seemed to be in a rush. He got a four off the first ball. In two balls he got 4. He seems to be in a hurry. He got out to a shot which was not required. It was not needed. He is in good touch and has scored a ton in the IPL too. He looked out of touch and got out," Shami said on his YouTube channel.  "Chahal was costly too. He gave 48 runs in 4 overs."

Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper Sanju Samson was fined 30 per cent of his match fees for violating the IPL's code of conduct during his team's encounter against the Delhi Capitals in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.
