Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube also chipped in with 22 runs each to guide Rajasthan to a comfortable victory.
"It was a great feeling when I went out to bat, I had heard that I was going to play against KKR. I just wanted to give my best and I just wanted to play for the team and help the side win. It is pretty good to be playing at Wankhede because this is my home ground, I am really happy about this," Jaiswal told David Miller in a video posted on the IPL website.
"Actually, when I dropped the catch, I thought it's okay because I worked really hard in the practice, I work really hard on my fielding, people can drop catches, everyone was telling me that it will be okay and everyone was motivating me. Sometimes it happens, everyone was cheering me up and it did motivate me. It was pretty good for me," he added.
