Rajasthan Royals may get a big setback in the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal in IPL 2025. The player was retained by the franchise for 18 crores. But now he may be out of the tournament.
Opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal has been retained for a huge amount of 18 crores. Yashasvi has impressed a lot with his batting for a long time. But now disappointing news has come for the fans of Rajasthan Royals. There are chances that Yashasvi Jaiswal is going to miss the entire season. A big reason is also coming out behind this, which is no less than a problem for Rajasthan.
Will Jaiswal be out of IPL 2025?
Mumbai team was eliminated after losing to Vidarbha in the Ranji semi-finals. In this match, opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal was not a part of the playing-11. The reason behind this was his injury. After being out of the Champions Trophy 2025, he had to play the semi-final of Ranji for which he was also practicing. But due to a sudden ankle injury, Yashasvi could not be a part of this tournament.
He went to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) to get his injury checked. So far there has been no official update on his injury. This is the reason why there are also possibilities of him being out of IPL 2025. If this happens, then it will be no less than a big setback for Rajasthan Royals.
This opener can replace Jaiswal
In the IPL mega auction, opener Prithvi Shaw was not bought by any franchise. He was unsold in both rounds of the auction. If Yashasvi Jaiswal is out of the team, then Prithvi Shaw can be included in the Rajasthan Royals squad in his place. In IPL 2024, Prithvi Shaw was associated with Delhi Capitals for 8 crores. But this year he did not find any buyer. Prithvi Shaw has so far scored 1892 runs in 79 innings of 79 matches.
