Since IPL 2022 began, a total of 11 centuries have been scored in the league, including three this year. Five of those have been against Mumbai Indians, including two this year.
The latest to go after MI’s bowling attack is Yashasvi Jaiswal, one of Mumbai’s own, as he slammed a superb 124 off 62 balls at the Wankhede Stadium for Rajasthan Royals against Rohit Sharma’s MI. RR posted 212/7 in the IPL’s 1000th match.
And while MI have conceded five centuries in the last last two seasons, RR batters have scored five too. The other four were by Jos Buttler last season.
In fact, Buttler was the second highest-scoring batter on Sunday night for RR but what is incredible is that it was a 19-ball 18. Extras, at 25, was the second highest contributor for RR as Jaiswal played one of the all-time great knocks of the tournament.
The century however wasn’t enough for RR as MI won the match with three balls to spare.

A masterclass, against an attack led by Jofra Archer. He is here to stay in Rajasthan Royals & for the Indian team in future.
What a story, what a special talent. Yashasvi Jaiswal is a superstar in the making. #MIvRR @ybj_19 💯

200 - @mipaltan chased down the target of 213 set by Rajasthan Royals, making it the first successful 200+ run chase in an @IPL game at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai; this is just the second time that Mumbai Indians have chased a target of 200+ in #TATAIPL history.
