[Breaking] Star Indian red-ball batter Yashasvi Jaiswal leaves Mumbai; Eyes Captaincy in new state team in Indian domestic cricket

Indian dynamic opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has decided to make a big move in his domestic career, as the left-hander has decided to leave Mumbai and join the Ranji team for the State of Goa in the upcoming domestic season. 

Jaiswal has been a star for India in the red-ball format and has had a fine record playing both in India and also in overseas conditions. According to recent reports, Jaiswal wrote an email to the Mumbai Cricket Association on the 1st of April urging for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to part ways with his former state team, Mumbai, in order to extend his domestic career further with Goa. 

Jaiswal played the last Ranji season for Mumbai, appearing in the game against Jammu & Kashmir, where he came back with scores of 4 & 26 in the two innings. As of now, Goa has been promoted to the elite division of the Ranji Trophy. 

Previously big Mumbai names like Siddhesh Lad and former Indian veteran Sachin Tendulkar’s son, Arjun Tendulkar, shifted their domestic careers from Mumbai to Goa. 

An official from the MCA was quoted saying, “He has sought a NOC from us and has cited that the reason for his move to Goa as personal.”

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s domestic career at a glance 

Yashasvi Jaiswal made his debut for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy back in 2019, and he continued 5 successful seasons with the biggest and most successful Ranji side in India’s domestic circle. 

To date, the 23-year-old Mumbai-born Indian star has appeared in 36 first-class games in the Ranji Trophy and the Duleep Trophy and has caught attention for his impressive stats. Left-handed opening batter Jaiswal scored 3712 runs, averaging 60.85 with 13 hundreds and 12 half-centuries. 

His record for Mumbai in List A cricket is also inevitable, as the 2019 Vijay Hazare Trophy marked Jaiswal’s rise in the game. Scoring 113, 22, 122, 203 and 60* in the debut tournament, he averaged 130 in the VHT, also scoring his first double-hundred in his debut domestic white-ball tournament. 

Other than the domestic season, Jaiswal stars for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL and is also an eminent part of the Indian side, especially in the Test team, where he is a constant, while he has recently been considered in the ODI and T20I side as well.
