India’s current generation’s batting sensational just continues to give. Yashasvi Jaiswal has gained superb form at a crucial time for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. After hitting a magnificent 75 against the Royal Challengers Benglauru (RCB), Jaiswal has turned up again to hit a vital fifty in a key run-chase against the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, April 16. He made 51 off 37 before getting out to Kuldeep Yadav.
Jaiswal hits back-to-back 50s in IPL 2025
Despite being one of the most talented players going around, it is fascinating to know that Jaiswal didn’t hit two back-to-back half-centuries before tonight. He has 12 fifties and two centuries in the world’s toughest T20 league. Having said that, he did previously hit fifty and a century. At IPL 2023, where he hammered 625 runs at an insane strike rate of 163.6, Jaiswal scored a 77 vs CSK before pummeling a sensational 124 against MI at Wankhede.
However, talking about twin fifties, Jaiswal now has ticked the box. Against DC, Jaiswal started superbly, smashing Mitchell Starc for 19 runs in his second over. Consequently, the Aussie pacer is now the most expensive overseas player in powerplay overs, having an economy of 11.84. Jaiswal didn’t hoick everything wildly but was poised to get the chase of 189 deep. Sanju Samson was unfortunately retired hurt in the 6th over but Jasiwal continued and counted spinners via his sweep shots.
