When Ajinkya Rahane Sent Yashasvi Jaiswal Off The Field For Disciplinary Reasons [WATCH]

Yashasvi Jaiswal has become an indispensable asset for the opener’s role in both the Indian Premier League (IPL) and for India. He embodies the ‘khadoos’ philosophy drilled into every player that comes through the Mumbai cricketing set-up.

The youngster was the only batter who stood up to the might of Australian pacers in the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, scoring 391 runs from 10 innings at an average of 43. He also countered the Aussies with his words, telling lead pacer Mitchell Starc that he is ‘too slow.’

Yashasvi Jaiswal – War Of Words On Field

This nature of the southpaw has flustered many of his opponents, which was apparent on the faces of Bangladesh Under-19 players in 2020. They got into verbal battles with Indian team players throughout the Under-19 World Cup final in South Africa.

Sometimes, the constant tongue wagging can go overboard and get a bit too personal. This part seems to have ticked off his team captain during the Duleep Trophy 2022 final.

Playing for West Zone under his Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane, Jaiswal was the star of the final. Hee scored 265 in the second innings to set up South Zone a target of 529.

While fielding during the fourth innings, the youngster got carried away and faced consequences from Rahane.

During the 57th over, Jaiswal was called upon by the umpires. He was chastised by his skipper, Rahane, for constantly sledging South Zone batter Ravi Teja. Despite the umpires’ repeated warnings, Jaiswal kept going at Teja. This forced Rahane to hold him by the shoulder to calm him down.

But soon after, Jaiswal’s behaviour became intolerable for Rahane, who told him to leave the field. Jaiswal had no option but to cool off for seven overs before taking the field again.

Differences With Ajinkya Rahane, Mumbai Exit

He was named Player of the Match for his double century. West Zone won the match by a margin of 294 runs. But the damage was done.

When Rahane was asked about the sending off, he replied, “I believe in always respecting your opponents, umpires and match officials. So you have to handle certain incidents in a certain manner.”

That bust-up between the Mumbai red-ball captain and their star opener seems to be the beginning of the end for Jaiswal for his domestic side. Three years and a Ranji Trophy win later, Jaiswal left the record Ranji champions for neighbouring Goa. It kicked off a storm of rumours about other top-level players following him.
