IPL 2024: RR’s Yashasvi Jaiswal unleashes “Jaisball” in nets ahead of DC clash

New Delhi [India], May 7 (ANI): Ahead of his side’s Indian Premier League (IPL) clash against Delhi Capitals (DC), Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener Yashasvi Jaiswal unleashed the “Jaisball” during the nets session on Tuesday.
