Most-time hitting six on the first ball of the IPL, Yashasvi Jaiswal IPL Record: Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed a six off the first ball of the match against Delhi Capitals. However, he was dismissed after just three balls.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, who plays for the Rajasthan Royals as their opener in the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, scored a six off the very first ball of the game. This was not his first time, as this had happened four times already. In addition, he set another record by being the player to score the highest number of sixes off the very first ball of an IPL game. On Friday, Jaiswal hit the very first ball delivered by Mitchell Starc of the Delhi Capitals out of the ground.
Priyansh Arya of the Punjab Kings is the next person on the list after having achieved this feat twice. Naman Ojha, Mayank Agarwal, Sunil Narine, Virat Kohli, Robin Uthappa, Phil Salt, and Sanju Samson have each achieved this feat once.
With this, Jaiswal also became the fifth batsman to hit a six off the first ball of an IPL match. Naman Ojha achieved this feat off Brad Hodge in 2009. Virat Kohli then did so against Varun Aaron in IPL 2019. Phil Salt hit a six off Nuwan Thushara in IPL 2024, while Priyansh Arya achieved this feat off Khaleel Ahmed in IPL 2025.
