With less than 10 days to go for the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) star batter Yashasvi Jaiswal is already under the spotlight with his crisp stroke play. The youngster was spotted training in what looked like centre wicket practice in Jaipur, where RR’s pre-season camp is going on.
Jaiswal, who had a terrific IPL 2024, followed by a tremendous Test season with India, looked in awesome touch ahead of what will be sixth season with the Royals. In a video posted by RR in their social media handles, Jaiswal showcased his impeccable timing while playing a pull shot, with the sweet sound of the bat echoing around the stadium.
The 23 year-old looked more focused than ever as he is determined to have another stellar season with the bat for RR. The Men In Pink retained Jaiswal for a humongous price of INR 18 crore ahead of the IPL Mega Auction. His explosive starts and controlled aggression at the top will play a crucial role for RR.
With the tournament fast approaching, Jaiswal’s form is positive news for the RR fans. If we go by what we saw in his training videos, the southpaw is looking very good for another breathtaking season in the IPL.
RR Aim For Glory In IPL 2025
Coming to the first match of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, the Sanju Samson-led side will begin their campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday, March 23. The much awaited encounter will take place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Uppal, Hyderabad.
Rajasthan Royals, who were the inaugural champions of the IPL, have long carried the weight of falling short of their second title. After their historic first title in 2008, the franchise has failed to replicate that success till date and will be looking to finally break the curse in the 2025 edition.
