Mon Apr 28 16:40:00 UTC 2025: ## IPL History Makers: Jaiswal’s Triple Sixes a Record Breaker
**Mumbai, April 24, 2025** – Rajasthan Royals’ Yashasvi Jaiswal etched his name in IPL history today, becoming the first player ever to hit a six off the very first ball of an IPL innings on three separate occasions. This remarkable feat follows a long line of IPL openers who have started their innings with a bang.
The tradition of opening with a six is a celebrated one in the IPL. Players like Naman Ojha (RR vs KKR, 2009), Priyansh Arya (vs CSK), Virat Kohli (RCB vs RR, 2019), Phil Salt (KKR vs MI, 2024), Mayank Agarwal (RCB, 2011), and Robin Uthappa have all achieved this feat. Sunil Narine, known for his aggressive batting style, has also frequently started IPL innings with sixes.
Jaiswal’s achievement, however, surpasses them all. His three first-ball sixes highlight his explosive batting talent and solidify his place among the IPL’s most memorable openers. The record adds another layer of excitement to the already thrilling tournament.
