The Rajasthan Royals have stamped their authority on the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur, becoming the first team ever to post a 200+ total at the venue in an IPL match.
In what was expected to be a closely contested game against Punjab Kings, RR's batters came out all guns blazing. Leading the charge was Yashasvi Jaiswal, who returned to form with a stylish half-century, providing a rock-solid start. He was backed up brilliantly by Riyan Parag, who played yet another impactful cameo to push the total well past the psychological 200-run mark.
