KOLKATA: With a combined age of 37, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi laid down the charge of 205/5 at the Chinnaswamy Stadium like an all-consuming gale. First ball, Jaiswal hacked Bhuvneshwar Kumar so high and so deep into the stands that the shot almost muted the stadium with its audacity. Not to be left behind, the 14-year-old Suryavanshi threw his bat at everything, hitting some, edging some, but scoring. Jaiswal cantered to a 19-ball 49 while stitching a 52-run opening stand in 4.2 overs, a start that Rajasthan Royals couldn't have frittered away. Or so they thought.
