The second placed Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to host the table toppers Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match number 31 of IPL 2024 at Eden Gardens 16th May. RR have been looking a strong side this year with five wins from six matches and are ruling at the top of the points table. Almost all players have been giving their best for RR, which is one of the main reasons for their success so far this year.
However, one of the main players for RR, Yashasvi Jaiswal hasn’t been able to show his best form and is yet to play a big knock this year. The left-handed batter had a tremendous season last year where he finished as the top run-getter for RR with 625 runs from 14 matches. His performance also earned him a place in the Indian squad for Test and T20I series against West Indies. He made his international debut in style by smashing a hundred in his debut Test and went on to score a T20I hundred during the 2023 Asian Games. Jaiswal was also coming after a historic Test series against England where he was awarded Player of the Series for amassing 712 runs from five matches.
Now carrying high expectations from the fans ahead of IPL 2024, Jaiswal hasn’t been able to find his form in this season so far. However, he got a good start in matches against Lucknow Supergiants, Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings, but couldn’t convert them into a big one. Now, with the T20I World Cup ahead, Jaiswal will be looking to get his form back against KKR and provide more strength to RR’s batting lineup. Let’s have a look at his IPL stats and records at Eden Gardens.
