Indian Premier League: Former New Zealand pacer Mitchell McClenaghan highlighted the composure and adaptability shown by Yashasvi Jaiswal during Rajasthan Royals’ successful run chase against Punjab Kings in the ongoing Indian Premier League in New Chandigarh on Tuesday.

Chasing a challenging target, Rajasthan got off to a blistering start through young sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, but it was Jaiswal’s measured approach that ensured stability and balance at the top of the order as the innings progressed.

McClenaghan pointed out how Jaiswal adjusted his game according to the situation, allowing his partner to play freely before stepping up when required.

“Yashasvi Jaiswal is showing great maturity for someone still so young. He’s playing like the experienced batter in that partnership, understanding when to step back and let Vaibhav Sooryavanshi play his natural attacking game. What stands out is how he adapts. Once the situation demands, he shifts gears and takes control of the innings. It creates a perfect balance between the two, almost like a yin-yang combination, and that chemistry at the top is working really well for Rajasthan Royals,” McClenaghan told JioStar.

McClenaghan also turned his attention to the upcoming clash between the Mumbai Indians and the Sunrisers Hyderabad, suggesting a possible tactical adjustment for MI in the absence of key all-round options.
