After failing in his first two games in the IPL, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 34 off 36 balls against Delhi Capitals as Rajasthan Royals lost the game by 46 runs at the chasing 185 to win.

Meanwhile, former Indian opener Aakash Chopra came to the rescue of the young man as he took his side and lashed out at the troll.
