The Rajasthan Royals team has retained itself in the playoff race by defeating the Punjab Kings. The hero of the victory was Yashasvi Jaiswal, who kept one end in front of the huge target and hit 56 runs in 36 balls with the bat. With this, Yashasvi has broken a 15-year-old record in the history of IPL. This left-handed batsman has completed his 600 runs in the current IPL season. He is the only Indian to do so this season. Based on this performance, Yashasvi has become the uncapped player who scored the most runs in a single season of IPL.
An uncapped player is a player who has not been able to make his debut in the national team for his country. Yashasvi Jaiswal has also not been able to make his debut in the Indian team till now. In such a situation, based on this brilliant performance, he is knocking on the door strongly to make a place in Team India. Yashasvi scored 625 runs in his 14 matches this IPL season at an average of 48 and a strike rate of 163. Five half-centuries and a century also came from his bat.
With this, Yashasvi has broken a 15-year-old record in the history of IPL. A decade and a half ago, Shane Marsh of Australia scored 616 runs in a season. Marsh was an uncapped player during the 2008 IPL. Today, based on an innings of 50 runs, Yashasvi has completed his 625 runs this season. He has broken Marsh's record. This record of Marsh remained invincible in IPL for 15 years, which has been broken by the 21-year-old young boy of India.
Most strike rates in a season
If we talk about the highest strike rate in one season of IPL, then in this case Yashasvi Jaiswal has come in fourth place. Chris Gayle is in first place with a strike rate of 183.13. He made this record in the year 2011 while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore. In second place is Rishabh Pant of Delhi Capitals, who scored a strike rate of 173.6 in the 2018 IPL season, AB de Villiers, who scored a strike rate of 168.8 for RCB in the year 2016, is third on this list. After this comes the number of Yashasvi of Rajasthan Royals.
