Following their tussle in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Josh Hazlewood collided again in IPL 2025. Coming into the RCB v RR clash, Jaiswal was on fire after three consecutive fifties while Hazlewood dominated the powerplay with the most dot balls bowled. This was a clash waiting to explode, and the Chinnaswamy crowd was in for a treat. Jaiswal started strong, but there's always a winner in such a riveting contest: Hazlewood. Given the massive target of 206, Jaiswal knew he had to attack early at the Chinnaswamy. Familiar rivals or not, he went for it from ball one. Hazlewood started off keeping him quiet with three dot balls in a row, giving early pressure to the Royals opener. But Jaiswal responded in style, hammering three boundaries in a row for a total of 12 runs from the over. The next over, he missed the first ball but smacked the next two for boundaries and then clubbed a huge six to finish with 49 from 18 deliveries. He looked like a man absolutely on fire and ready for an encore fifty. But Hazlewood kept his cool and came back with a subtle change in angle. The Australian quick took his revenge as he dismissed Jaiswal at 49, just one short of another milestone. It was an exciting contest, as Jaiswal's fearless hitting contended against the cool-headed experienced Hazlewood. Also Read | Who are the batters to have been retired out in the history of IPL?
