IPL 2024 - Bad day or inconsistent? Fans talk about Yashasvi Jaiswal's dismissal against LSG

In Match 44 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), the last game centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for 24 runs off 18 balls at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium.

Jaiswal became the second wicket to fall in three balls. Marcus Stoinis struck with his first delivery, which angled wide outside off. Jaiswal chased it and attempted a big slash but ended up toe-ending it high in the air. Ravi Bishnoi, from deep point, settled nicely under it to complete the catch. Jaiswal had smashed 3 fours and 1 maximum before departing. 

Seeing the young lad depart early got fans on X (formerly known as Twitter) to speculate whether he simply had a bad day or if the player has been inconsistent.

Currently, after 14 overs, RR has scored 135 runs, losing three wickets. Rajasthan Royals need 62 runs in 36 balls. Jos Buttler departed after scoring 34 off 18, while Riyan Parag managed just 14 off 11. Skipper Sanju Samson is at the crease along with Dhruv Jurel. 

Earlier, LSG managed to score 196 runs in the allotted 20 overs, losing 5 wickets. Skipper KL Rahul scored 76 off 48, while Deepak Hooda smashed 50 off 31. Quinton de Kock (8 off 3), Marcus Stoinis (0 off 4), Nicholas Pooran (11 off 11), Ayush Badoni (18* off 13), and Krunal Pandya (15* off 11) did not contribute much. 

For RR, Sandeep Sharma picked two wickets, while Avesh Khan, R Ashwin, and Trent Boult have one each to their name.
