New Delhi: It is said that records are made on the cricket field only to be broken, but when a player starts leaving behind the greats with his consistency, then it should be understood that a new era has begun. Although at present only one name is echoing in the corridors of IPL and that is Vaibhav Suryavanshi but Yashasvi Jaiswal is not far behind him.

This young opener of Rajasthan Royals has not only broken the spirits of the bowlers with his batting, but has also registered his name in golden letters in the history of the club. On one hand, 13-year-old young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi of Bihar has become the center of discussion with his aggressive batting, while his senior colleague Yashasvi Jaiswal is climbing the ladder of records.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has set a new record by playing an inning of more than 50 runs (50+) for the 20th time while playing for Rajasthan Royals. Yashasvi played only 75 innings to make this record. With this innings, he has left behind former Rajasthan captain and reliable batsman Ajinkya Rahane. Rahane had scored more than 50 19 times for Royals. This journey of Yashasvi is not just a statistic, but the story of his struggle and talent. This boy, who once sold golgappas outside Azad Maidan, has today established his dominance in the world’s biggest cricket league. The fearlessness seen in his batting is what makes him stand apart from other batsmen of today’s era.

Now Yashasvi’s eyes are on the peak where the two biggest pillars of Rajasthan Royals, Jos Buttler and captain Sanju Samson, are standing. Currently, Sanju Samson and Joe Butler have crossed the list 25 times (50+ scores). Whereas Yashasvi Jaiswal has crossed the score 20 times (50+ score). The way Yashasvi has started challenging these giants just after turning 20, it is clear that he can be at the top of this list in the coming one or two seasons. The mixture of Buttler’s aggression and Samson’s class seen in Yashasvi’s game is no less than a boon for Rajasthan Royals.

Currently, Yashasvi and Vaibhav Suryavanshi are being discussed together in the cricket world. While Vaibhav is surprising everyone with his ability to play big shots at his young age, Yashasvi has shown how to become a long race horse. It is a good sign for Indian cricket that two aggressive left-handed batsmen are destroying the bowlers at different levels. Yashasvi Jaiswal crossing the 50 mark for the 20th time is not just an individual achievement, but it is a victory of confidence of Rajasthan Royals. He has proved that he is not just a ‘pinch hitter’ but a match winner who weaves the innings and takes it till the end.
