Yashasvi Jaiswal in IPL 2024 (Source:@PunjabKingsIPL,x.com)
It's certainly a challenging time for Yashasvi Jaiswal right now. In recent news, Mumbai has faced a serious setback as star opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has been ruled out of the semifinal Ranji Trophy match against Vidarbha due to pain in his left ankle. It is certain that the defending champions will miss Jaiswal’s presence when they take the field in Nagpur on Monday, February 17.
The dynamic batter was also recently excluded from India's final squad for the Champions Trophy 2025. Initially included in the provisional squad, he was replaced by spinner Varun Chakravarthy in the final selection. However, he has been named as a non-traveling reserve alongside Shivam Dube and Mohammed Siraj.
According to recent reports, Jaiswal will be joining NCA in Bengaluru for further treatment of his injury. His fitness will be closely monitored; with the IPL 2025 approaching, the next big question is, can he recover on time ahead of the upcoming season?
Will Jaiswal Be Fit For IPL 2025?
Despite the injury scare, there is full hope regarding Jaiswal’s return in time for IPL 2025, which is set to begin next month. Given that the injury is not considered severe and there is still ample recovery time, the Rajasthan Royals' star is expected to be fit and available.
Why Jaiswal Is Crucial Player For Rajasthan Royals?
It is important to note that Jaiswal was retained by the Rajasthan Royals ahead of IPL 2025 for INR 18 crore. Taking a look at his contribution in IPL 2024, the left-handed batter played 15 matches and made 435 runs at a blistering strike rate of 155.91 and an average of 31.07. His aggressive style and ability to provide explosive starts make him a crucial player for Rajasthan Royals.
With IPL 2025 approaching, Royals will want Jaiswal to regain full fitness and make a strong impact in the upcoming season as well.
