“I think I enjoyed every part of my innings. I was thinking right, planning right and hitting the right shots. I have practised all the shots that I want to play. Every time I hold a bat, be it in the nets or the match, I feel the same way. I have worked hard with Zubin sir. It is really special but it is just one game and I want to keep going. I know my role in the team, make sure run-rate is high and contribute in whatever way possible to the team,” Jaiswal said at the mid-innings break.
The left-handed batter has been in phenomenal form this season. Coming to bat against Mumbai, RR opener smoked 124 runs off just 62 balls. His innings included 16 fours and two maximums. Jaiswal got out in the last over of the first innings as Arshad Khan got his wicket.
