Yashasvi Jaiswal was born on 28 December 2001 in Suriyawan, a small town in the Bhadohi district of Uttar Pradesh. He is the fourth of six children born to Bhupendra Jaiswal, the owner of a small hardware store, and Kanchan Jaiswal, a homemaker. His elder brother, Tejasvi Jaiswal, also plays cricket and has represented Tripura in domestic competitions.
At age ten, Jaiswal left his home in Uttar Pradesh and moved to Mumbai alone, driven by a singular ambition to play cricket for India. The early years were extraordinarily difficult. He was initially given accommodation at a dairy shop in exchange for work, but was evicted when his cricket practice schedule made him unreliable as a helper. He then lived in a tent on the grounds of the historic Azad Maidan in Mumbai for approximately three years, surviving partly by selling panipuri as street food. He slept hungry on some nights. During this period, he continued to train and play whenever he could.
In December 2013, Jaiswal’s talent caught the eye of Jwala Singh, a cricket coach who ran an academy in Santacruz, west Mumbai. Singh took the young teenager in, provided him a place to live, became his legal guardian, and obtained his power of attorney — effectively rescuing one of the greatest batting talents in modern Indian cricket from a precarious existence. In 2015, Jaiswal entered the Limca Book of Records after scoring an unbeaten 319 runs and taking 13/99 wickets in a single school cricket match — a feat of extraordinary individual dominance for any age.
Yashasvi Jaiswal made his first-class debut for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy on 7 January 2019, at the age of 17. His rise in List A cricket was even more dramatic. On 16 October 2019, in the Vijay Hazare Trophy against Jharkhand, he scored 203 off 154 balls — a performance that made him the youngest double centurion in List A cricket history, aged 17 years and 292 days, surpassing the previous record held by Shikhar Dhawan. He finished the 2019–20 Vijay Hazare Trophy as one of the top five run-scorers with 564 runs in six matches, including three centuries.
Jaiswal represented Mumbai in domestic cricket from 2019 until the 2024–25 season, when he transferred to Goa for the 2025–26 domestic season — a decision that gave him more consistent playing opportunities while his international career took priority.
Yashasvi Jaiswal was purchased by the Rajasthan Royals at the 2020 IPL auction for ₹2.4 crore — an investment that has since been validated many times over. His IPL debut came on 22 September 2020 against Chennai Super Kings, where he memorably greeted MS Dhoni with a respectful “namaste” when the legend came out to bat — a moment that charmed cricket fans nationwide.
His IPL career developed progressively. After modest initial seasons (249 runs in 2021, 258 in 2022), IPL 2023 was his breakthrough: he scored 625 runs in 14 matches at an average of 48.07 and a strike rate of 163.61, including his maiden IPL century — 124 off 62 balls against Mumbai Indians at the age of 21 years and 123 days. On 11 May 2023, he hit the fastest fifty in IPL history — 13 balls against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, breaking the previous record jointly held by KL Rahul and Pat Cummins.
In IPL 2024, he scored 435 runs including a match-winning unbeaten 104 against Mumbai Indians, as Rajasthan Royals reached the semi-finals. In IPL 2025, retained for ₹18 crore, he was RR’s highest run-getter with 559 runs, his most consistent IPL season. Rajasthan Royals retained Jaiswal for ₹18 crore once more ahead of IPL 2026 — his seventh consecutive season at the franchise — cementing his status as the cornerstone of their batting lineup.
Across 67 IPL matches, Jaiswal has scored 2,166 runs at an average of 34.38 and a strike rate of 152.86, with 2 centuries and 15 fifties. His highest score of 124 equalled the record for the highest score by a Rajasthan Royals batter in IPL history at the time it was made.
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Test debut on 12 July 2023 at Windsor Park, Roseau, Dominica against the West Indies announced a new batting force in international cricket. He opened the batting and scored 171 runs in India’s only innings, becoming the 17th Indian batter to score a century on Test debut. He won the Player of the Match award and India won the series 1-0.
The true breakthrough came in January-March 2024, during the home Test series against England. Jaiswal produced one of the great batting series in modern Test history, scoring 712 runs across nine innings — including back-to-back double centuries of 209 (Visakhapatnam) and 214* (Rajkot). The 214* at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot remains his career-best score. He became the third Indian after Vinod Kambli and Virat Kohli to score double centuries in consecutive Tests. In Rajkot, he also equalled the record for most sixes in a single Test innings by an Indian — 12 — and finished the series with 20 sixes across the five matches, establishing a new world record for most sixes in a bilateral Test series.
In the 2024–25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, Jaiswal scored 161 at Perth Stadium in his first Test innings on Australian soil, becoming the first visiting batter to score centuries on debut in both England and Australia. He finished the series with 391 runs as India’s best batter in a series they ultimately lost 1-3.
In the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 (India vs England, five Tests, England), Jaiswal scored 411 runs including centuries in the first Test (101 at Headingley, Leeds) and final Test (118 at The Oval, London). The Headingley century made him the first Indian batter to score a Test hundred at Leeds. His six-Test century tally by age 23 put him second on the all-time list of opening batters with the most Test centuries before age 24 — behind only South Africa’s Graeme Smith (7).
As of March 2026, Jaiswal has played 28 Tests, scoring 2,511 runs at an average of 49, with 7 centuries and 12 fifties, and a highest score of 214*.



Jaiswal made his T20I debut in August 2023 against the West Indies and scored his maiden T20I century — 100 off 49 balls — against Nepal at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China. He played in the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup and has played in 23 T20I matches. His T20I strike rate is approximately 164.3, reflecting the explosive approach he brings to every format.
Yashasvi Jaiswal made his ODI debut against England on 6 February 2025 at the VCA Ground, Nagpur, scoring 15 off 22 balls in a cautious opening to his 50-over career. In late 2025, he was selected for the ODI series against South Africa at home after regular ODI captain Shubman Gill was ruled out injured. In the final match of that series, Jaiswal made his maiden ODI century — 116* off 121 balls at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Stadium, Visakhapatnam. As of March 2026, he has played 4 ODIs, scoring 171 runs at an average of 57.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is a technically sound, left-handed opening batter who combines classical technique with modern aggression. His game is built on several pillars that make him dangerous across all formats and conditions.
Footwork and use of the crease: Jaiswal uses his feet exceptionally well against both pace and spin. Against pace bowling, he moves inside the line early to access the leg side, or creates width to drive through the off-side. Against spin, his footwork down the pitch to convert half-volleys into driven boundaries is reminiscent of Sourav Ganguly.
Power-hitting in the powerplay: In T20 cricket, Jaiswal’s batting is defined by powerplay domination. His IPL career strike rate of 152.86 across 67 matches is exceptional, and in powerplay overs specifically, he operates above 180. The fastest IPL fifty (13 balls) was struck entirely in the powerplay. He targets wide half-volleys and anything fractionally short of a length, pulling and cutting with equal ferocity.
Conversion rate: One analytical note on Jaiswal’s game is his conversion rate in Tests — converting half-centuries into centuries. His 12 fifties and 7 centuries in 28 Tests suggest he occasionally loses concentration in the 60–80 range, but his two double centuries show that when conditions and his mindset align, he can bat through an entire day. The 2025 England series (2 hundreds from 4 innings that crossed 50) showed improvement in this area.
Against swing bowling: Jaiswal was tested by England’s swing bowlers in English conditions in 2025. His 101 at Headingley — where the Duke’s ball moved prodigiously — demonstrated genuine maturity in leaving balls outside off-stump and waiting for the overpitched delivery to drive. That temperament was absent in earlier overseas tours (notably South Africa 2023-24) but is now a clear feature of his game.
Record against England: Four of Jaiswal’s 7 international centuries and both of his double hundreds have come against England, making him statistically the most effective Indian batter against England in the modern era.

Featured in Time 100 Next list (2025) — recognizing him as one of the world’s most influential emerging figures.
Jaiswal made his ODI debut in Nagpur on 6 February 2025, scoring a cautious 15 off 22 balls as India won the opener. It was a deliberately controlled start to a new format — his aggressive instincts restrained to assess 50-over demands. He also took a brilliant low diving catch at slip off Harshit Rana to dismiss England’s Ben Duckett.
This five-Test series was Jaiswal’s most complete performance in England conditions. He scored 411 runs across five Tests at an average of 41.10 with 2 centuries and 2 fifties. His 101 at Headingley in the first Test made him the first Indian to score a Test century at Leeds. His 118 in the fifth Test at The Oval helped India level the series at 2-2, with Jasprit Bumrah describing that Oval knock as Jaiswal’s best Test innings to date. India levelled the series with a 2-1 scoreline after winning the final Test.
Selected to open in place of the injured Shubman Gill, Jaiswal took the opportunity emphatically. In the final ODI at Visakhapatnam’s ACA-VDCA Stadium, he scored 116* off 121 balls — his maiden ODI century — to anchor India’s batting in a match-winning total. His average of 57 across 4 ODI innings suggests strong early-format adaptability.
Rajasthan Royals retained Jaiswal for ₹18 crore for the IPL 2026 season — his seventh consecutive year at the franchise. He will open alongside Vaibhav Suryavanshi, forming what is widely regarded as the most explosive opening partnership in T20 cricket: a 23-year-old left-handed Test legend alongside a 14-year-old IPL centurion. Their 166-run opening stand in IPL 2025 against Gujarat Titans — during which Jaiswal scored 70* — was the highest opening partnership in Rajasthan Royals history. IPL 2026 begins on 30 March 2026.

Analysis: Yashasvi Jaiswal’s advantage over his peers is the combination of Test quality and T20 explosiveness in a single profile that few openers in Indian cricket history have managed. Sehwag’s career average of 49.34 in Tests at a strike rate of 82.23 is the obvious comparison — Jaiswal’s Test average is nearly identical and his strike rate of ~75 in Tests is remarkably high for a specialist opener who also dominates T20 cricket. The key differentiator from Shubman Gill — a highly talented contemporary — is Jaiswal’s performance in alien conditions: centuries on debut in the West Indies, Australia, and England set him apart as a genuinely global performer.
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s net worth as of 2026 is estimated between ₹65–70 crore (approximately $8 million USD). His income streams include:
Jaiswal’s Time 100 Next (2025) inclusion — alongside global athletes and cultural figures — has significantly elevated his international brand profile. His Instagram following (@yashasvijaiswal28) has grown rapidly following the 2024 England Test series and 2025 performances, making him among the most-followed Indian cricketers of his generation.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is famous because he represents, in a single cricketer, two things the cricketing world rarely sees simultaneously: a story of extraordinary human resilience and a level of batting talent that rewrites records across formats. The journey from tent-sleeping panipuri-seller on the grounds of Azad Maidan to holder of the world record for most sixes in a Test series — all by the age of 22 — is the kind of story that transcends sport.
But Jaiswal is not famous merely for his backstory. He is famous because when he plays, records fall: the fastest IPL fifty, back-to-back Test double centuries, centuries on debut in three different countries. He is famous because India’s cricket future for the next decade will be built substantially around his bat.
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s impact on Indian cricket operates at three levels. First, his performance in the 2024 home Test series against England — 712 runs, two double centuries, 20 sixes — redefined how India approaches Test cricket at home: not as a spin-dominated siege but as an aggressive, total-accumulation exercise from the first ball. Second, his overseas performances proved that India finally has a young opener who can succeed across all five major touring destinations.
Centuries on debut in the West Indies, Australia, and England are a structural shift — previous Indian openers in the post-Sehwag era had routinely struggled in alien conditions. Third, his IPL dominance at a strike rate of 152+ as an opener — combined with his ability to play long Test innings — positions him as a rare multi-format asset. India has not had a player who excels so comprehensively in both red-ball and white-ball cricket since the prime of Virender Sehwag.
Yashasvi Bhupendra Kumar Jaiswal is a 24-year-old Indian cricketer born on 28 December 2001 in Suriyawan, Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh. He is a left-handed opening batter who plays for India in all three formats and for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. He holds world records in Test cricket and IPL cricket and is considered one of India’s greatest batting prospects since Virender Sehwag.
In Tests, Jaiswal has scored 2,511 runs in 28 matches at an average of 49, with 7 centuries and a highest score of 214*. In IPL cricket, he has 2,166 runs across 67 matches at a strike rate of 152.86, with 2 centuries and 15 fifties. In ODIs, he averages 57 across 4 matches, including a maiden century of 116* against South Africa (December 2025).
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s highest score is 214* (not out), scored against England at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot during the second Test of the 2024 home series. It is the second of his two consecutive double centuries in that series, following a 209 in Visakhapatnam.
Yashasvi Jaiswal plays for the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026. He was retained for ₹18 crore ahead of IPL 2026, making it his seventh consecutive season at the franchise. He opens the batting alongside Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s net worth in 2026 is estimated between ₹65–70 crore (approximately $8 million USD). His income includes his BCCI Grade B contract (₹3 crore annually), his IPL retention (₹18 crore for 2026), and endorsement deals with brands including boAt, JBL India, Dream11, and Firebolt.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is not married as of 2026. He has been the subject of rumours linking him romantically with Maddie Hamilton, a student at the University of Birmingham (UK), who was spotted at India vs England matches and appeared in his social media content. Neither Jaiswal nor Hamilton has officially confirmed a relationship.
Yashasvi Jaiswal stands at 183 cm (6 feet 0 inches) tall.
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s elder brother is Tejasvi Jaiswal, who also plays professional cricket. Tejasvi represented Tripura in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, and has appeared in the spotlight as his younger brother’s international profile has risen.
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s story from a panipuri-selling boy living in a tent at Azad Maidan to the holder of multiple world records in Test and IPL cricket is one of the definitive sporting journeys of the 21st century. At just 24, he has already scored 7 international centuries across three formats, broken the record for most sixes in a Test series, and established himself as India’s premier opening batter in conditions across the globe. With IPL 2026 imminent, a full Test season ahead, and the 2026-27 domestic calendar to anchor, the volume of Yashasvi Jaiswal’s run-scoring in the next three years will define the contours of Indian cricket’s golden era.
