Yashasvi Jaiswal on Brink of Major Milestone as Rajasthan Royals Face Gujarat Titans
Rajasthan Royals, currently languishing at the ninth spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 points table, are set to face Gujarat Titans in their 10th game of the season. The match, scheduled to take place at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, will be crucial for the Royals as they look to end their five-match losing streak. One player who has been in exceptional form for the Royals is opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is on the verge of achieving a significant milestone.
According to reports from News24 Online, Jaiswal requires just 37 more runs to surpass the 2000-run mark in the IPL. This achievement would make him the fifth batsman for Rajasthan Royals to achieve this feat. The list of batsmen who have scored over 2000 runs for the Royals includes Sanju Samson (3966 runs), Jos Buttler (3055 runs), Ajinkya Rahane (2810 runs), and Shane Watson (2372 runs). As per News24 Online, Jaiswal has currently scored 1963 runs in the IPL.
Jaiswal’s IPL career began in 2020 when he made his debut for Rajasthan Royals as a left-handed opening batsman. Since then, he has been a consistent performer for the team, scoring 250 runs in the next two seasons. However, it was in IPL 2023 that he achieved his highest total of 625 runs. In the current season, Jaiswal has already accumulated over 350 runs, following his 425-run output in 2024, as reported by News24 Online.
The Royals have had a poor run in IPL 2025, winning just two of their nine matches. Their last victory came against Punjab Kings on April 5. As they look to turn their fortunes around, Jaiswal’s performance will be crucial. The young batsman has been in impressive form, and his achievement of surpassing 2000 IPL runs would be a significant boost to the team’s morale.
As quoted in the report from News24 Online, all eyes will be on Jaiswal as he looks to achieve this milestone against Gujarat Titans. The match is expected to be a closely contested one, with both teams eager to claim victory.
In conclusion, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s achievement of surpassing 2000 IPL runs would be a significant milestone for the young batsman. As reported by News24 Online, with just 37 runs required, Jaiswal will look to achieve this feat against Gujarat Titans. The match promises to be an exciting one, with Rajasthan Royals looking to end their losing streak and Jaiswal seeking to etch his name in the record books.
