Hardik Pandya had that look on his face, the one he had when Avesh Khan bowled him with a near-perfect full-toss. A mix of surprise and shock, yet that of appreciation. The only difference being that he was fielding this time.

It was the 16th over of Rajasthan Royals’ innings. Gerard Coetzee bowled it short and wide, on a good length and just outside off stump. Yashasvi Jaiswal moved towards the leg side, gave himself enough room, pulled it over deep square for a maximum and walked up to skipper Sanju Samson for a fist bump. The sheer force behind the stroke propelled it past Pandya's grasp, hurtling out of the field with such velocity that it left him stunned and powerless. Jaiswal blazed through a dazzling century off just 59 balls to get back among runs in the ongoing season.
