Sanju Samson tells Yashasvi Jaiswal to hit a six to reach his century during KKR vs RR IPL 2023 match
Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a spectacular 98 in 47 balls.
Sanju Samson, the captain of the Rajasthan Royals, gave Yashasvi Jaiswal some encouraging words as he was only one hit away from a historic century. The Mumbai-born batsman was batting at 94 in 46 balls. Before that, in just 13 balls, Jaiswal attained the milestone of the fastest IPL half-century. He then kept up this pace and was within one hit away from his second century.
Jaiswal had scored five runs by the time of this occurrence, which took place in the match’s 13th over. The RR opener, though, had only scored one run on the following two balls and was now positioned in the non-strikers’ end. But Sanju Samson opted to block the ball rather than finish the game. Afterwards, Samson was heard shouting “Chaka maar b***ch**” as the over ended. Jaiswal, however, was unable to reach his 100 because he was only able to hit a boundary.

The RR skipper, Sanju Samson, was full of praise for young Yashasvi Jaiswal following the amazing victory. He commented that he didn’t have to do anything since Yashasvi was taking charge of every bowler. The team is accustomed to the lad’s powerplay strategy as he always thrives in the power play.
He further termed Chahal as a legend of the IPL and also appreciated having him in the franchise. He continued by saying that he only needs to give him the ball since he understands what to do; he never has to speak to him. He also bowls at the very end, which is really satisfying for him as captain.
RR defeats KKR by a Wide Margin.
The fastest IPL half-century ever was recorded by Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sanju Samson hammered 48 as Rajasthan Royals easily thrashed Kolkata Knight Riders by 9 wickets. Jos Buttler left early but RR dominated the game and was able to win the clash with more than six overs to go. Earlier, Yuzvendra Chahal’s four-wicket haul assisted Rajasthan Royals in holding Kolkata Knight Riders to 149/8 in 20 overs.
When given the opportunity to bat first, Venkatesh Iyer led the way for KKR with 57 off 42 balls after Eden Gardens openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz (18) and Jason Roy (10) failed to build on their promising beginnings and both fell to seasoned left-arm bowler Trent Boult. Nitish Rana, the captain, was also removed after making a start. Leg-spinner Chahal, who has been in great form, concluded with superb numbers of 4/25. RR skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and elected to bowl against KKR.
