Despite the struggles of inaugural champions Rajasthan Royals on the points table in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, their prolific southpaw opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has continued to enjoy a brilliant season with the bat. Rajasthan Royals are playing against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium today. Jaiswal, before the start of the match, needed 37 runs to complete his 2000 runs in IPL, and on the second ball of the eighth over he achieved that milestone with a boundary to third man off Prasidh Krishna's bowling.
Jaiswal has completed his 2000 runs in just 62 innings, making him the third fastest batter to achieve this milestone, surpassing the legend Sachin Tendulkar who scored 2000 runs in 68 innings. Jaiswal is now only behind Ruturaj Gaikwad and KL Rahul who completed their 2000 IPL runs in 57 and 60 IPL innings respectively.
