21-year-old Jaiswal falls heavily on KKR’s captain! The record was set by washing the jam in the very first over

Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has created history in the Indian Premier League. Jaiswal has become the fastest batsman to score a fifty in IPL. Kolkata Knight Riders Vs. Rajasthan Royals are facing each other in the 56th match of IPL 2023. The 21-year-old Jaiswal showed this tremendous record while chasing Kolkata’s challenge in this match. Interestingly, his blast in the first over is now the talk of the town. He made KKR captain Nitish Rana sweat.

Batting first in this match, KKR scored 149 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs. Chasing this challenge, Yashasvi Jaiswal came out to open the innings from Rajasthan. This time captain Nitish Rana came to bowl the innings from KKR. Jaiswal considered this decision of Rana quite wrong. This time, Jaiswal started washing from Rana’s first ball. Jaiswal hit two sixes in the dugout off the first two balls. After that, he hit two fours on the next third and fourth balls as well. Then he took 2 runs off the fifth ball and again hit a tremendous four on the last ball. Thus Jaiswal single-handedly scored 26 runs in the first over without conceding a strike to his colleague Jos Buttler. This also created a record.
