Young opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal has become a sensation, all thanks to his blistering knocks for Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League. Last night, in a game against Kolkata Knight Riders, Yashasvi played another brilliant knock of 98* runs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal Played A Brilliant Knock
Jaiswal walked out to bat with all-guns-blazing and smashed big hits from literally the first ball of the innings. He started his knock by hitting two back-to-back sixes off the first two balls of the innings and ended up taking a whopping 26 runs off the first over.
During his knock, Jaiswal also broke the record for the fastest half-century in the history of the Indian Premier League. He reached the milestone in just 13 balls and left everyone in awe of his batting heroics. Jaiswal walked out to open the innings with Jos Buttler and remained unbeaten till the end of the game.
Branded by many as Indian cricket’s “Next Big Thing” Jaiswal smashed the KKR bowlers to all the corners of the ground. His knock was laced with 12 fours and 5 sixes.
Rohit Sharma Made A Big Prediction
Meanwhile, a screenshot of an old Instagram post of Yashasvi Jaiswal has been making rounds on the internet. The post, which dates back to March 2020, is going viral because of Indian and Mumbai Indians’ captain Rohit Sharma’s comment on it.
In the comment, Rohit Sharma hailed Yashasvi as the next superstar of Indian cricket. 2 years after, Yashasvi is just proving Rohit’s words right.

After his splendid knock last night, Yashasvi revealed his success mantra. He revealed that whenever he gets a chance he talks to legendary Indian players like MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. He said:
“I always try to be in the zone and remain in the atmosphere. I have many experienced legendary players around me. Whenever I get a chance I keep talking to MS bhai, Virat (Kohli) bhai, Rohit (Sharma) bhai, Jos (Buttler) bhai, Sanju (Samson) bhai on how to keep my mind calm, and what to think.
“I always try to learn, what all I can improve and bring into my game, how to control… This game is fully mental first then physical. You have to keep yourself in the zone.”
