Two-paced wicket challenges batsmen

Jaiswal's knock was laced with 10 fours and two sixes as it provided the foundation for batters like Riyan Parag (30) and Dhruv Jurel (35) to ramp up the scoring rate in the death overs.

"It was good, I was trying to assess the conditions. I was trying to build a partnership so that we can score at least 170. I was trying to give the base to the other batsmen and was trying to get a good start for my team. I was enjoying there," Jaiswal told broadcasters during the mid-innings break.

The opener said the wicket is a bit two-paced and it's a good score to defend on this track.

"It's a pretty good score for us, the wicket is a little bit two-paced. If we bowl well, it'll be a very good game," he said.

"(Message to the bowlers) Just enjoy the bowling, enjoy the game and let's play together and just bowl into the stump," Jaiswal added.

Jurel played an unbeaten knock of 35 runs off 23 balls including two sixes and as many fours while Parag scored 30 runs in 22 balls with the help of three fours and a six.

For RCB, Krunal Pandya was the most economical as he returned with the figures of 1-29 in his four overs.

Jaiswal is pure class! The way he builds his innings is so mature for his age. That cover drive off Siraj was just 😍 Hope he carries this form through the season!

While Jaiswal played well, I think he could have accelerated a bit more in the middle overs. 75 off 53 is good but not explosive by T20 standards. Still, great foundation for the team!

The way he rotated strike and kept the scoreboard ticking was impressive. Not just a power hitter but a proper batsman. Future of Indian cricket right here!

His interview was so humble! "Just enjoying there" - that's the spirit! More players should approach the game with this mindset. Well played Yashasvi! 👏
