It is an achievement that earns him a pretty exclusive club: the third Indian player and the fifth in the world to do so while playing for Rajasthan Royals. This franchise, which has always trusted him-therefore, retaining him for Rs 18 crore before IPL 2025 auction-has started paying dividends. On Monday, Jaiswal only needed 37 runs to touch the 2000-run mark in the match played between Roylas and Gujarat…

So far, the gamble seems to be paying off. The team has managed to mark five victories from their nine matches. Iyer’s been showing out too, with a total of 288 runs…

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) managed to register a decent win over Delhi Capitals by 6 wickets. This win further builds on RCB’s great Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 record.
