Stats - Yashasvi Jaiswal scores Royals' second-fastest fifty

All the stats and numbers from the high-scoring game in Abu Dhabi.

15 - Number of balls remaining when Rajasthan Royals reached the target. Only one team in the IPL had successfully chased down a 190-plus target with more balls to spare - Mumbai Indians. They needed only 14.4 overs while chasing 190 against Royals in 2014, and they defeated Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) with 27 balls to spare during a 199-run chase in 2017. Delhi Daredevils (now Capitals) also won with 15 balls to spare in pursuit of a 209-run target against Gujarat Lions in 2017.
19 - Number of balls needed for Yashasvi Jaiswal to complete his fifty, the second-fastest by an uncapped player in the IPL. Ishan Kishan's 17-ball effort against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018 remains the fastest fifty by an uncapped player.
1 - Number of IPL fifties for Royals coming quicker than Jaiswal's 19-ball effort. Jos Buttler holds the record with his fifty off 18 balls against Delhi Daredevils in 2018. Jaiswal's fifty is also the joint-second fastest IPL fifty against Chennai Super Kings, behind Kieron Pollard's 17-ball fifty during the first half of this edition.
81 - Runs scored by Royals during the powerplay, the most by the side in an IPL game. Their previous highest was 73 runs against Deccan Chargers in 2008. These are also the most runs in a powerplay against Super Kings in the IPL. Mumbai Indians' 78 runs in 2008 was the previous most conceded by Super Kings during the powerplay overs.
1 - Royals' 81 runs is the most any team has scored in an IPL powerplay in the matches hosted in UAE. It is also the highest powerplay total in the IPL since Mumbai Indians' 84 runs against Daredevils in 2018, also involving Evin Lewis.
4.5 - Jaiswal completed his fifty within 4.5 overs of Royals' innings. Only seven players before him have reached a fifty in the IPL by this stage. It is the second quickest (in terms of overs) by a Royals player. Buttler got to his fifty against Daredevils in 2018 in the first ball of the fifth over.
1 - Ruturaj Gaikwad's 101 was the first in the IPL for Super Kings when a century went in vain. All the previous eight IPL hundreds recorded by the team's players came in wins. It is also the first century for Super Kings since Shane Watson's unbeaten hundred in the final of the 2018 season.
