Jaiswal, Sooryavanshi: Fastest Indian 500-run IPL pair

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi became the fastest Indian opening pair to reach 500 IPL partnership runs, breaking the previous record in just 2 balls.

Rajasthan Royals' young opening pair created history during their IPL clash against Gujarat Titans, becoming the fastest Indian duo to achieve the 500-run partnership milestone. The aggressive openers needed only two deliveries to reach the landmark, surpassing the previous record held by Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, who had achieved the feat in 309 balls.

The milestone highlights the consistent and powerful approach of Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi this season. Earlier, Rajasthan captain Riyan Parag won the toss and chose to bat first, with Gujarat Titans missing regular skipper Shubman Gill due to a muscle spasm, with Rashid Khan stepping in as captain.
