Yashasvi Jaiswal, the 23-year-old Mumbai-born cricketer, is making waves in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. While the internet buzzed about 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi's record-breaking century, Jaiswal's consistent performance and recent milestone deserve equal recognition. This article explores Jaiswal's achievements, his pivotal role in Rajasthan Royals' success, and his contribution to a memorable match alongside Suryavanshi.
A Stellar Partnership and a Personal Milestone
On April 29th, 2025, Jaiswal and Suryavanshi etched their names in IPL history. Their opening partnership of 166 runs, without losing a wicket, set the foundation for Rajasthan Royals' emphatic eight-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans. While Suryavanshi stole the show with his breathtaking century, Jaiswal played a crucial supporting role, scoring an unbeaten 70 off 40 balls. This innings also marked Jaiswal reaching the 2,000-run milestone in the IPL, a feat achieved in just his 62nd innings – making him the fifth-fastest to reach this landmark. He is also only the third Indian and fifth player globally to achieve this with Rajasthan Royals.
More Than Just Runs: Jaiswal's Impact
Jaiswal's contribution extends beyond just his impressive run tally. His composure and ability to anchor the innings while Suryavanshi unleashed his aggressive style showcased his maturity and adaptability. He's become a cornerstone of the Rajasthan Royals batting lineup, lauded for his hard work and dedication.

Jaiswal's performance also contributed to Rajasthan Royals' improved finishing power in the tournament, a previously identified area for improvement. He embodies the "one game at a time" philosophy adopted by the team's coaching staff.
Beyond the IPL: International Acclaim
Jaiswal's talent extends beyond the IPL. He's already made a significant impact on the international stage, having debuted with a century against the West Indies. His impressive Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in 2024-25, where he scored 391 runs at an average of 43.44, further cemented his reputation as a rising star. His signed bat is even part of a silent auction for The Chappell Foundation, a testament to his growing international recognition.
