He made sure not to upset Vaibhav's rhythm: Bangar lauds Jaiswal's mature approach vs GT
"It was an absolute gem of an innings - Sanjay Bangar"

Jaipur, April 29

Former India cricketer and coach Sanjay Bangar lauded Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal’s composed innings of unbeaten 70 and the maturity in his approach against Gujarat Titans.

Chasing 210 for victory, Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi gave the team a blistering start. The duo stitched 161-run partnership, the highest in RR’s history.

Jaiswal brought up his fifty off 31 balls at the start of the 12th over before Suryavanshi perished after his breathtaking knock of 101 off 38 balls, the second-fastest century in IPL history and the quickest by an Indian.

Jaiswal also became the fifth fastest player to reach 2000 runs in the Indian Premier League after scoring an unbeaten 70 off 40 balls.

Jaiswal, who is Rajasthan Royals’ top-scorer in IPL 2025 with 426 runs in 10 matches, reached the 2000-run mark in 62 innings, surpassing the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, who reached the 2000-run mark in the IPL in 63 innings

"It was an absolute gem of an innings. In the previous match, he lost his rhythm a little while chasing against RCB, but today he was very professional. He made sure not to upset the rhythm of the younger player at the other end and maintained his composure. Even when it came time to accelerate towards the end, he did so smartly.

"With the positivity this youngster has brought to Rajasthan Royals’ approach, and the improvement in their net run rate, they have leapfrogged to around 8th position, keeping their playoff hopes alive," Bangar said on JioHotstar.

Heading into Monday’s match vs GT, Jaiswal was needed only 37 to reach the milestone.

The swashbuckling left-hander is also the third fastest Indian to reach the milestone in the IPL after Ruturaj Gaikwad (57 innings) and KL Rahul (60 innings).

Chris Gayle is the fastest player to reach 2000 runs in the IPL, having crossed the mark in just 48 innings. Shaun Marsh is second on the list after reaching the 2000-run mark in 52 innings in the IPL.

What a partnership! Jaiswal showed real maturity today. That's the kind of selfless cricket we need more of in T20s 👏 Vaibhav's century was special but Jaiswal's supporting role was equally important.

Jaiswal is proving to be the backbone of RR this season. His consistency is remarkable for someone so young! Though I do wish he'd convert more of these starts into big hundreds.

That partnership was 🔥! But let's not forget - while Jaiswal was great, Vaibhav's 101 off 38 was absolutely insane! Fastest Indian century in IPL history? Wow!

I appreciate how Jaiswal played second fiddle when needed. Too many young players get selfish in T20s trying to boost their stats. This was proper team play!

Respectful criticism here - while Jaiswal was good, his strike rate of 175 was actually below par in this chase. With Vaibhav going at 265, Jaiswal could have taken more risks earlier.

Breaking Sachin's record at 22 years old? Jaiswal is special! 💫 Can't wait to see him in the Indian team more regularly. His temperament is what sets him apart from other young players.
