Rajasthan Royals’ star youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal has reached a major milestone in his Indian Premier League (IPL) career, crossing the 1000-run mark in the tournament. The 21-year-old achieved the feat in the ongoing 2023 edition of the tournament, becoming the second-youngest batter to do so, after Rishabh Pant.

Jaiswal, who made his IPL debut for the Royals in 2020, took 34 innings to reach the 1000-run mark. He has been in tremendous form this season, scoring 477 runs in 11 matches so far, and is currently the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament. He has beaten a host of top IPL stars, including Prithvi Shaw, Shubman Gill, and Sanju Samson, to become the second-youngest batter to reach the milestone.

Last Record by a Young Star

Sanju Samson, captain of the Rajasthan Royals, became the first player in the Indian Premier League (IPL) to reach the milestone of scoring 3,000 runs for a single franchise. He achieved this impressive feat during RR’s match against Gujarat Titans on Sunday.

During the match, Samson had proved his worth as he scored 60 runs off just 32 balls, including three fours and six sixes, with an incredible strike rate of 187.50. His performance helped RR chase down a target of 178 runs.

In addition to reaching 3,000 runs, he hit six sixes in his innings, becoming the first Indian batsman to smash six or more sixes in an innings six times in the IPL. Samson had joined the likes of Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, and Andre Russell in an elite list of players who had hit six or more sixes in an innings most times.

Jaiwal’s IPL Performance

Jaiswal’s consistent performances with the bat in the IPL have earned him widespread praise and have led many fans and former cricketers to call for his inclusion in the Indian T20I squad. He has been a key player for the Rajasthan Royals since his debut in the tournament and has become a household name after his heroics in the 2020 U19 World Cup, where he was named the player of the tournament.

The young batter’s achievement has come at a crucial time for the Rajasthan Royals, who are currently fourth in the IPL 2023 table with five wins and as many losses in 10 games. The team will be aiming to strengthen its contention for a playoff spot with a win over Sunrisers on Sunday night.

What’s Next?

Jaiswal’s success in the IPL is a testament to his talent and hard work, and he is seen as one of the rising stars of Indian cricket. His ability to score runs consistently and his aggressive style of play have made him a fan favorite, and many believe that he has a bright future ahead of him in the game.

Speaking about his achievement, Jaiswal said, “It’s a great feeling to have scored 1000 runs in the IPL. I am grateful to the Rajasthan Royals for giving me the opportunity to showcase my skills in the tournament, and I hope to continue to contribute to the team’s success in the coming matches.”

With the IPL 2023 entering its crucial phase, Jaiswal’s form will be critical to the Rajasthan Royals’ chances of making it to the playoffs. The young batter will be hoping to continue his impressive run with the bat and help his team lift the coveted IPL trophy.
