The new season of IPL has not yet proved to be good for certain players. Players like Team India captain Rohit Sharma, Star Pacer Mohammed Shami, Pat Cummins, Rishabh Pant, Jofra Archer are failing badly. There are constant discussions about them. But there is also a player for which this season is very important but he has not been able to collect any color yet. These batsmen are Yashasvi Jaiswal, the young opener of Rajasthan Royals, who was retained by the team but has failed three consecutive times in IPL 2025.
For the last 2 seasons, Rajasthan, who made everyone a fan with his explosive batting in the IPL, retained this time by Rajasthan. Rajasthan also spent the same money for Jaiswal, who is considered to be the most 'hot property' of the new generation of Indian cricket. Before the mega auction, the franchise had decided to maintain it for the next 3 years by paying Rs 18 crore to the left -handed batsman. In such a situation, there were high expectations in the team in the new season from Jaiswal, but till now he has not been able to prove it right.
In his third match of the season against Chennai Super Kings, there were high hopes from Jaiswal as Chennai's bowling attack did not look much strong in this season yet. The star batsman also made a brilliant start by gathering a fours on the first ball of the innings. But this start was only on the second ball and on the third ball, he returned to the pavilion by giving a simple catch. With this, Jaiswal failed in the third consecutive match. A total of 34 runs have been scored from his bat in these 3 innings. In this, 29 runs in the second match against Kolkata Knight Riders are his biggest score.
These forms of Jaiswal are not good signs. By the way, only 3 innings have been played in this season and at least 11 innings are still left. That is, Jaiswal has a lot of time to return. But this can cause concern for them and their return to Team India may be in trouble. The thing is such that the place of Jaiswal has been confirmed in the Test team. He has made his debut in ODIs too and he is yet to get a chance in this format. But his return to the T20 team may be in danger.
He has not played any T20 match for Team India in the last 8-9 months due to playing Test cricket. At such a time, Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson have confirmed the opening slot with their stormy batting. At the same time, players like Shubman Gill, Ishaan Kishan and Sai Sudarshan are also presenting the claim. In such a situation, if Jaiswal has to return to the T20 team, then he will have to show amazing as before in the coming matches.
