He advised Jaiswal to remain with Mumbai at this important stage of his career.
Former India Test captain Rohit Sharma reportedly played a key role in convincing Yashasvi Jaiswal to continue playing for Mumbai in domestic cricket instead of shifting to Goa. Earlier this year, Jaiswal had asked for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Mumbai Cricket Association as he was approached by Goa with an offer to captain their team. However, a few weeks later, he changed his mind and informed the association that he wanted to stay with Mumbai.

According to a report by the Mumbai Mirror, Rohit advised Jaiswal to remain with Mumbai at this important stage of his career. The young batter made his decision after listening to Rohit’s advice and also consulting a few senior players who represent both Mumbai and India. Following this, MCA president Ajinkya Naik confirmed that Jaiswal’s request to withdraw the NOC was approved.
“Rohit asked Yashasvi to stay on in Mumbai at this stage of his career. He explained to him that there was a lot of pride and prestige in playing for a team like Mumbai, which has won the Ranji Trophy a record 42 times. Rohit also told Yashasvi that he must never forget that it was because of Mumbai cricket that he got a platform to show his talent and go on to play for India, and he must be grateful to the city for that. It was here in Mumbai that he started playing cricket in the maidans and then was picked for all age group teams of Mumbai,” MCA president Ajinkya Naik said.

“I saw Rohit bhai and said hi. He gave me the message to keep playing,” Jaiswal said to the reporters after the end of the third day’s play,” Yashasvi Jaiswal said.
Jaiswal, who is now 23 years old, has been part of the Mumbai setup since his Under-19 days. He made his first-class debut in 2019 and has so far scored 4233 runs at an average of 56.44 in 43 matches.

He began the series with a hundred in the first Test’s first innings and finished it with another century in the second innings of the fifth Test. His knock played a crucial role in helping India win the final match and level the series 2-2.
