Shamith: "I think Mumbai need that pep talk from Mahela..too many mistakes.." Guess what that could be as we await the chase.
Snehil: "Jaiswal scored 112 of his 124 in boundaries only! Surely that's some sort of record for highest percentage of runs by boundary for a Centurion in IPL?" Indeed it is, previous highest was 89.47 % by Sanath Jayasuriya during his 114* vs CSK in 2008 (102 runs in boundaries) confirm Shiva and Sampath, who adds that it is also the second highest for any men's T20 century, behind 91.53 % by Rohit Sharma vs SL in 2017 (108 out of 118).
Yashasvi Jaiswal receives his Orange Cap from Kumar Sangakkara. He says he enjoyed everything about his innings, was thinking and doing everything right, while factoring the bowlers and field settings. He says he's worked a lot on his batting with Zubin [Barucha], says it's a special innings and looks to keep going. Says he wasn't thinking of wickets and focus on keeping the run rate high and get boundaries. Lots of things to ponder over, Buttler's lack of timing, Meredith's off-day, Arshad getting key wickets despite striking but Jaiswal's brilliance was at the center of it all, and rightly so.
9:33pm: Another innings close to two hours but the first half of the 1000th IPL game was Jaiswal's brilliant 124 that decorated it. He kept going and played every shot from the textbook, novel, and fan fiction. Wickets fell around him, Archer was on song with the ball, Chawla made batting tricky but his knock took Royals to 212. Extras and
shubham Anand : "25 extra, in which 16 wide. MI needs to watch out for these extra before it is too late. Maybe Rohit needs to give warning like Dhoni did . "
Vysakh Vinayan: "If we exclude the Jaiswal innings, the others scored 63 runs off 59balls."

Deep third and deep-backward point are out
Siva: "215 ??" Arshad to Ashwin. Will it just be rotation of strike?

Jitendra gada : "Amazing "
kabir m: "@18.4 felt like an exact copy of kohli to rauf!!!" This was to a slower ball but there was some visual resemblance
