Yashasvi Jaiswal Hits 100 IPL Sixes in RR vs MI IPL 2026 Match

Milestones in T20 cricket often arrive quickly, but reaching 100 sixes in the IPL still says a lot about a batter’s approach. Yashasvi Jaiswal crossed that mark during Rajasthan Royals’ match against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026, and he did it in a way that directly influenced the result. His unbeaten 77 was not just about numbers, it shaped the innings and set the pace in a shortened game.

A milestone built on intent

Jaiswal has built his reputation on attacking cricket, especially in the powerplay. His six-hitting record did not come from occasional bursts, it has been a steady pattern across seasons. In this match, the milestone arrived as part of a well-paced innings where he balanced aggression with control.

The conditions demanded quick scoring. With the match reduced to 11 overs, every delivery carried weight. Jaiswal read the situation early and targeted the right bowlers. He did not rush into risky shots but picked his moments, which allowed him to keep the scoreboard moving without losing his wicket.

How the innings shaped the match

While Vaibhav Sooryavanshi provided the early burst, Jaiswal ensured that Rajasthan Royals did not lose direction after the powerplay. His presence at the crease gave the team stability. Even as wickets could have changed the flow, he held one end and kept adding runs.

Reaching 77 not out in such a short game is no small effort. It required smart strike rotation along with boundary hitting. By the time Rajasthan finished their innings, the total had gone beyond what Mumbai Indians could comfortably chase. The difference came down to how well Jaiswal managed the middle overs in a compressed format.

Position among Rajasthan Royals hitters

Crossing 100 sixes places Jaiswal among the leading power hitters for Rajasthan Royals. The franchise has seen several attacking batters over the years, but his consistency sets him apart. He scores quickly without turning every delivery into a risk, which is rare in T20 cricket.

For Rajasthan, having a batter who can both anchor and accelerate adds flexibility to their lineup. It allows others around him to play their natural game. This balance has been one of the reasons behind their strong run in IPL 2026 so far.

The match ended with Rajasthan Royals securing another win, keeping their unbeaten record intact. Jaiswal’s milestone came in a game that demanded control and intent, and his innings delivered both. With several matches still left in the season, his form will remain central to Rajasthan’s campaign.
