[Watch] Yashasvi Jaiswal Slam Khaleel Ahmed for Five Fours in Opening Over
Jaiswal scored 20 runs in the first over [iplt20.com]
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been a different player this IPL season. He has taken over the aggressive path and has gone toe-to-toe with his partner in-crime, Jos Buttler.
In Rajasthan Royal's third match against Delhi Capitals, Yashasvi Jaiswal took a special liking towards opposition bowler Khaleel Ahmed and struck him for five fours in the opening over of the match.
Seems like Rajasthan Royals have taken a leaf out of England's Bazball approach and Jaiswal has been the torch bearer for it. With the wicket suitable for power-hitting, Jaiswal took his chances against Khaleel in the first over of the match and rattled the opposition camp.
Watch: Jaiswal takes on Khaleel
Khaleel started the over with a back of a length delivery and the batter pulled it through mid wicket with utmost ease. He continued with the short ball, but pitched it wide of off as Jaiswal slashed hard and a mis-field at third man allowed the ball to travel past the ropes.
The boundary floodgates opened as Khaleel went full on the off and Jaiswal drived it past the extra cover region. A rare dot ball came on the fourth ball, but normal services resumed on the fifth ball when Jaiswal lofted the ball over the bowlers' head for a boundary.
Jaiswal finished the over in style, as he ended it with yet another boundary to give a dream start to the Royals.
At the time of writing, Rajasthan are flying-high. They are 63 for 0 at the end of the 5th over mark.
