Yashasvi Jaiswal roared back to form with a terrific hundred after Sandeep Sharma's maiden five-for as a rampaging Rajasthan Royals hammered Mumbai Indians by nine wickets in the Indian Premier League here on Monday.

After Sandeep returned 4-0-18-5 to record the best bowling figures this IPL, Jaiswal found form at last in Rajasthan's final home game at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, flaying the Mumbai Indians attack during his 104 not out off 60 balls.

Despite a rain intervention delaying the proceedings, Rajasthan did not face many challenges in overhauling a 180-run target set by Mumbai Indians, reaching 183/1 in 18.4 overs.

Despite Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring a magnificent ton, It was Sandeep Sharma, who was named 'player of the match' for his five wicket-haul as he beautifully set up the game for RR as Mumbai looked to cross the 200-run mark at one stage.

Speaking about his performance during the post-match press conference, Sandeep Sharma hailed skipper Sanju Samson and said, "Team has a happy environment, We are allowed to go and express ourselves, Sanju Samson is doing a great job and allowing bowlers to set the field as required by them."
