Yashasvi Jaiswal T20 Record: Yashasvi Jaiswal added yet another stellar achievement to his tally. The left-handed batter eclipsed the 400-run peak in T20s during the ongoing Indian Premier League season. Jaiswal reached the milestone during the Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals clash at Arun Jaitley Stadium. The 24-year-old took only 129 innings to reach the milestone. However, it was again a quickfire knock which did not have much substance as Jaiswal scored only 12 runs during his nine-ball stay at the crease in the DC vs RR clash.
Is Yashasvi Jaiswal Now Among India’s Top T20 Batters and Who Holds the Fastest 4000-Run Records?

Rajasthan Royals are in a strong position in the IPL 2026 points table as they play Delhi Capitals today at Arun Jaitley Stadium. With 12 points in 11 games, RR needs to win each of their remaining games to qualify for the IPL 2026 playoffs.
Which Teams and Players Are Dominating IPL 2026 and How Does Jaiswal Compare?
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are dominating IPL 2026. The defending champions are currently at the top of the IPL 2026 points table and, with a win against the Punjab Kings, became the first team to qualify for the playoffs. Meanwhile, the batting charts are being dominated by Sai Sudharsan, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli. Sudharsan, Gill, and Kohli have scored more than 500 runs and rank among the top three in Orange Cap rankings. When it comes to strike rate, it is Jaiswal’s opening partner, 15-year-old Sooryavanshi, who is leading the charts.
Meanwhile, Jaiswal compares pretty poorly to these four batters in IPL 2026, having not had the best of a season with the bat in hand, despite an incredible start to IPL 2026.
What Does This 4000-Run Milestone Mean for Yashasvi Jaiswal’s India Future and T20 World Cup Chances?
While the 4000-run milestone remains an incredible achievement for Yashasvi Jaiswal, it might not be enough with regard to his future with the Indian team in the shortest format. In T20s, the Indian team has no shortage of talent, especially when it comes to batters at the top of the order. Earlier this year, India was crowned the T20 World Cup champions for the third time. The winning team, led by Suryakumar Yadav, did not feature the likes of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, or Yashasvi Jaiswal. Among these players, Jaiswal might be the last pick despite his splendid achievements.
