Rajasthan Royals are currently taking on Chennai Super Kings in their final game of the IPL 2025. Despite having a below-par season where they failed to qualify for the playoffs, the one shining spot for the Rajasthan Royals has been the golden run of form of Yashasvi Jaiswal. He continued his run-scoring spree in this game as well, and with his blazing knock, managed to create history by becoming the first player ever to achieve a massive feat.
Yashasvi Jaiswal slammed 36 from 19 balls. He began his innings with a boundary off the first ball of the innings, and this is the fifth time in IPL 2025 that he has done so. In IPL 2023 too, he got off the mark with a boundary in the first ball of the innings five times. He becomes the first player ever to do so five times in an IPL season twice.
Here are the players with most boundaries off the first ball of an innings in an IPL season

RR Restrict CSK To 187
CSK got off to a poor start as they lost the wickets of Devon Conway and Urvil Patel in the second over bowled by Yudhvir Singh. Ayush Mhatre then went on to stitch a half-century stand with Ravichandran Ashwin. Mhatre departed after scoring a quickfire 43-run knock. Ravichandran Ashwin departed shortly after for 18.
Ravindra Jadja departed just a few balls later, as CSK sank further into trouble. Dewald Brevis and Shivam Dube then went on to revive the innings for CSK with a half-century stand. Brevis departed against the run of play for a score of 42. Dube went on to score 39, but the RR pacers pulled things back brilliantly to restrict CSK to 187/9.
