With the IPL 2025 playoff race heating up, tensions ran high during the clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals in Bengaluru. A fiery moment occurred in the fourth over when Josh Hazlewood and Yashasvi Jaiswal exchanged words after a heated send-off. Hazlewood initially dominated with three dot balls, but Jaiswal struck back with three consecutive boundaries. He continued his assault in the final over of the Powerplay, hitting two fours and a six, but eventually fell for 49 after mistiming a slower delivery to mid-wicket. Hazlewood’s aggressive send-off triggered a visibly furious response from Jaiswal.
