Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed his maiden hundred in the 1000th match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) to power Rajasthan Royals to a commanding total against Mumbai Indians in Mumbai on Sunday. IPL 2023: Full coverage | Points table | Schedule | Results | Orange Cap | Purple Cap The left-handed opener from Mumbai couldn’t have picked a more iconic occasion than the milestone match to bring up the three-figure mark not just in the IPL, but in all T20 cricket. Jaiswal brought up the milestone with a boundary, taking 53 balls along the way, and would ultimately get dismissed for a 62-ball 124 — the highest individual score of the season so far — as Rajasthan posted a commanding 212/7 after opting to bat against Mumbai at the Wankhede Stadium.

It was almost a one-man show on Sunday evening at the Wankhede as Jaiswal held the Rajasthan innings together even as wickets fell in clusters at the other end. While Jaiswal smashed 16 fours and eight maximums during his stay at the crease, striking at more than 200 for his 124, the next-highest score by a RR batter Jos Buttler’s 19-ball 18. Jaiswal was dismissed by a high full toss from left-arm seamer Arshad Khan in the final over of the RR innings, which was reviewed for a potential no-ball but was ultimately ruled in favour of the bowler. Cricket Twitter, meanwhile, heaped praise on the 21-year-old for what is being described as the standout knock of the season so far and one of the best in the history of the tournament. Here are select reactions:

Jaiswal is a serious, round the wicket batter. Drives with panache and can hook it out of the ground. This is a talent India needs to handle well and make the most of.

The best white ball batsman in the world is in the middle, but he's currently just watching his partner absolutely smash it at the other end.
