Jaiswal thanks Rohit, Virat following century against MI

Jaipur, Apr 23: Following his side's nine-wicket win, India and Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has thanked all the seniors for helping through his tough phase during the first half of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season.

Yashasvi's return-to-form century and Sandeep Sharma's five-wicket haul were the key highlights as RR defeated MI by nine wickets at Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Monday.

Following the win, in a video posted by the IPL, Jaiswal said, "I am enjoying it (The IPL). It is incredible (the century). Initially, it was tough for me. But that is what cricket is, you have to go through ups and downs and all the learning. I would like to thank all my seniors, Rohit bhaiya (Rohit Sharma), Virat bhaiya (Virat Kohli), Sanju bhaiya (Sanju Samson) and Sanga sir (Kumar Sangakkara, RR Director of Cricket) for the way they have been talking to me during these past few days."

Sandeep Sharma, who was in the video along with Jaiswal, said that the team knew that such a knock from Jaiswal was coming after some low scores.
