Though he started his innings extremely slow, Yashasvi Jaiswal eventually played a match-defining knock for Mumbai. He scored 181 runs off 372 balls.
Mumbai opener Prithvi Shaw trolled his teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal after the latter took 54 balls to score his first run in the side's ongoing Ranji Trophy semi-final match against Uttar Pradesh in Bengaluru. The duo started the second innings of Mumbai on Thursday on contrasting notes as Shaw raced to his half-century on the 56th ball off his innings, while his fellow batter Jaiswal failed to get his first run despite playing almost equal number of balls.Â
After the play on the third day of the match ended, Shaw, who often hogs limelight for his social media posts and stories, didn't miss out on the opportunity to pull the leg of the Rajasthan Royals opener and shared a hilarious meme on Instagram.Â
