IPL Record Broken
Jaiswal became the first batsman in IPL history to hit three sixes on the first ball he faced in an innings. He broke the record held by several batsmen, including Virat Kohli, Robin Uthappa, and Phil Salt, who had each hit one six on the first ball.
- Yashasvi Jaiswal – 3 sixes
- Virat Kohli – 1 six
- Robin Uthappa – 1 six
- Naman Ojha – 1 six
- Mayank Agarwal – 1 six
- Sunil Narine – 1 six
- Phil Salt – 1 six
- Priyansh Arya – 1 six
This season, Jaiswal has been in top form. He has scored 392 runs in nine innings, just 25 runs behind Sai Sudharsan, who is currently leading the orange cap standings.
Virat Kohli’s First-Ball Six
Virat Kohli achieved this feat this season against Mumbai Indians on April 7. He hit a six on the first ball he faced, setting the tone for a strong innings.
