The second innings of the Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals began with a bang, as Yashasvi Jaiswal of RR smashed 26 runs off Nitish Rana’s first over and went on to score the fastest 50 in IPL history. With a total of 150 on the board, the KKR captain decided to switch up the bowling for the Rajasthan innings.
He brought himself on, but was met with a massive six over long-on from Jaiswal on the first ball. The next ball saw Jaiswal go low and slog Rana for another six over backward square leg. The following two balls of the over resulted in two consecutive boundaries, before Jaiswal took a double on the fifth delivery. To finish off the over, Jaiswal hit another crackling cut shot, piling up an impressive 26 runs for the over.
