Incredible innings, one of the best I have seen: Yashasvi Jaiswal lauds Vaibhab Suryavanshi

Suryavanshi was the star of the show, hammering a blistering 101 off just 38 balls, an innings that included seven boundaries and eleven sixes.

After the match, Jaiswal, who himself played a vital hand with an unbeaten 70 off 40 balls, lauded Suryavanshi's extraordinary effort.

"Incredible innings, one of the best I have seen. Hope he will do it for us for a long time," Jaiswal said.

"I was telling him to just keep going, incredible today. He just played amazing shots, he practises well, works hard in the hits. He has the game and temperament, wish him all the luck," he added.

Jaiswal also spoke about the team's focus on closing out matches better after a few narrow finishes in their recent outings.

"We were talking that somebody needs to stay and finish the game after the last three games. I was there luckily today and tried my best," he added.

On his own performance, Jaiswal reached a personal milestone by completing 2,000 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) during the match. His composed knock featured nine boundaries and two sixes and provided crucial stability.

Jaiswal emphasised the team's approach moving forward, echoing the words of their coach.

"Our coach says one game at a time and we'll give 100% each game," he said.
