Vishal Jayswal’s name has suddenly become a major talking point amongst the cricket ecosystem in India. The left-arm spinner from Gujarat grabbed nationwide attention after producing a once-in-a-lifetime moment by dismissing Virat Kohli in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

The dismissal was a perfect showcase of Jayswal’s skill, as his sharp left-arm spin beat Kohli’s outside edge and resulted in a clean stumping. The wicket denied the Indian great a back-to-back century in his VHT return and marked a defining breakthrough moment for the young Gujarat spinner.

Following that performance, curiosity grew around Jayswal, who managed to deceive one of the modern-day legends of the game. Since then, Vishal has been in high demand, featuring in multiple interviews as fans and experts want to learn more about his journey.

And just like that, in a recent conversation with Sports Yaari, the focus shifted to Jayswal’s IPL ambitions. When asked which IPL side he would like to play for, the left-arm spinner named Royal Challengers Bengaluru, showing his admiration for the franchise and the opportunity to share the field with Kohli.

"I want to play for RCB because it would give me the chance to play with Virat bhai,” Jayswal said.

Jayswal’s preference for RCB is clearly linked to his respect for Virat Kohli, whom he views as a major inspiration. With growing recognition and confidence, the Gujarat spinner now looks ahead to bigger opportunities, hoping his performances will soon open doors to a stage like IPL.

Moreover, Jayswal also spoke about his interaction with Kohli after the match, revealing how encouraging the 37-year-old was and how much he appreciated the quality of Jayswal's bowling.

That brief exchange with the Indian veteran became a cherished memory for Jayswal and added an early feather to his young cricket career. The incident not only boosted his belief but also highlighted how a single spell can change a cricketer’s profile in domestic cricket overnight.
