Ahead of Rajasthan Royals’ match against Chennai Super Kings at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal opened up and stated that he is a big fan of CSK skipper MS Dhoni and also pointed out that even players and supporters of the opposing team love the legendary stumper-batter.
Notably, in the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League, Dhoni received resounding support from crowds all over India. Seeing a sea of yellow in his last match at the Eden Gardens, the 41-year-old stated that the fans may have turned up to support him, considering this to be his farewell tour. However, Jaiswal is hopeful that even with Dhoni’s presence, Jaipur will turn up to cheer for the home team.
“I can understand the fans’ feelings towards Dhoni. He is liked by even the opposing team and their supporters. I also enjoy Dhoni’s game as I am also a big fan of his. However, we must take that in our stride and concentrate on our performance. In the last match, we got overwhelming support from the Jaipur crowd, and I am hoping they would continue to cheer us despite Dhoni’s presence on the ground,” the 21-year-old said in the pre-match presentation, as quoted by Sportskeeda.
The team is determined to bounce back and regain the top position: Jaiswal
After two back-to-back defeats, Rajasthan have slipped on the IPL Points Table as they are currently placed at number three. However, Jaiswal stated that the team is determined to get back to winning ways and regain the top position in the league.
“We lost the last two matches quite closely, but it's part and parcel of the game. We should forget those losses as quickly as possible and concentrate on our process. The team is determined to bounce back and regain the top position in the points tally. It happens in cricket, and sometimes you lose games that were under our control,” the opener added.
