En route to the 3000-run landmark in T20s, Jaiswal has shattered multiple records with the Rajasthan Royals.
In 2023, Jaiswal smashed the fastest fifty in the IPL, reaching the mark in just 13 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders. The same season, he became Rajasthan Royals’ youngest centurion, blasting 124 against Mumbai Indians at 21 years and 123 days.
Jaiswal finished IPL 2023 as the highest run-scorer in a single edition by an uncapped Indian, amassing 625 runs. The stellar campaign earned him debuts in India’s Test and T20I squads later that year. He followed it up with another solid IPL 2024 season, scoring 435 runs at an average of over 30.
