[WATCH] IPL 2025: Yashasvi Jaiswal’s amazing off-balance scoop for six against Josh Hazlewood

The Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are playing each other in the 28th game of the 2025 Indian Premier League in Jaipur. In their allocated 20 overs, RR, batting first, amassed 173 runs at a cost of four wickets. With ten boundaries and two sixes, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal took the lead and scored a dominant 75 off 47 deliveries. The left-hander was in excellent form the entire innings.

Josh Hazlewood, the RCB pacer, came back to bowl his third over in the 16th over of the first innings. The Australian pitched the ball full and angled it across outside off on the opening delivery.

Yashasvi Jaiswal scooped him over fine leg for a spectacular six after getting past the stumps and nearly hitting the ground.

Even though the batter was unbalanced, the shot had amazing elevation, making it a show.

As the innings came to an end, Dhruv Jurel’s late fireworks—35 off 23—had given RR a respectable total of 173. The best bowler for the RCB was Krunal Pandya, a left-arm spinner who took out Sanju Samson while giving up just 29 runs in his allotted innings.

RCB openers Phil Salt and Virat Kohli responded by launching the chase in spectacular fashion. Despite Kohli’s anchor role, the English batsman was aggressive from the off, scoring 65 off 33, including five fours and six sixes.
