Yashasvi Jaiswal of the Rajasthan Royals reached his fifty after just 13 deliveries in his side's crushing nine wicket win over the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL on Thursday.
The 21-year-old, who finished with an astonishing 98 not out from 47, was ably supported by Sanju Samson’s unbeaten 48 off 29 as RR rose to third on the standings.
