After a sluggish beginning to IPL 2025, Yashasvi Jaiswal made a turnaround. Having achieved scores of 75, 51, 74, and 49 in the previous four innings.
he has been the Rajasthan Royals' (RR) most reliable batter. Regrettably, he hasn't received backing from the other batters.
While pursuing a target of 206 runs set by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Jaiswal launched the innings flawlessly by hitting a six off the very first ball.
He clobbered three sixes and seven fours in his innings of 19 balls, putting RR firmly in command of the match.
Jaiswal, in the meantime, secured a remarkable IPL record with his first-ball six against the RCB. He was the first player globally to hit a six off the very first ball.
In total, eight batters have hit a six off the first ball in an IPL inning, but Jaiswal is the first to do so three times.
Meanwhile, RR lost to RCB by 11 runs, once again letting an easy victory slip through their fingers. With five wickets remaining, they required only 18 runs in the final two overs to secure victory.
