Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a hundred in a Ranji Trophy match for Mumbai. He reached the three-figure mark against Rajasthan at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, which is the home of his IPL franchise, Rajasthan Royals. He is playing his first Ranji Trophy match since January this year. He recently returned from Australia, where he was a part of the ODI squad but was benched for all three matches.

The southpaw hit his fifth Ranji Trophy hundred in just 21 innings since making his debut in 2019.

He amassed 156 runs off 174 balls and struck 18 boundaries and a six, showing his ability to score consistently. Jaiswal crossed the 1,000-run mark in the Ranji Trophy, averaging over 53.

Yashasvi is playing in domestic cricket to prepare for the upcoming two-match Test series against South Africa.

Jaiswal also dismissed Deepak Hooda, who scored 248 runs in Rajasthan’s total of 617 for six declared.

Yashasvi left Mumbai to join Goa, but he changed his decision after speaking to Rohit Sharma. He is not a part of Team India’s squad for the ongoing five-match T20I series against Australia.

In the previous Test series against the West Indies, he had scored a hundred in the second red-ball game at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, becoming the second opening batter after South Africa’s Graeme Smith to reach seven Test tons before turning 24.
