As Vaibhav Sooryavanshi continues his carnage against the top-tier bowling talents in the league, Yashavasvi Jaiswal, who is only 21, is gradually losing the spotlight. Former Team India spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin, has made some well-observed comments over Jaiswal’s performance, in the presence of Sooryavanshi as the opening partner of the Royals, in the ongoing IPL 2026 season.
“It is slightly underwhelming, and I am a bit surprised by Yashasvi Jaiswal’s performance in the Rajasthan Royals team. I am a little surprised because I expected a lot from him; I have high hopes. But I just have a slight inkling of a feeling that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s display has perhaps shaken Jaiswal a bit. It has rattled him,” Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.
R Ashwin compared Yashasvi Jaiswal with Aakash Chopra
“If you remember the opening pair of Virender Sehwag and Aakash Chopra in Test matches, Aakash Chopra used to play really well, giving good starts of 30 or 40 runs. But the sheer style and manner in which Virender Sehwag batted used to make Aakash Chopra look almost invisible. Not that he was; Aakash Chopra did a great job on that Australian tour, too. But I just have a feeling that because of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s fierce batting here, it has thrown Jaiswal off a little. In many games, Jaiswal got out trying to hit the ball too hard,” Ashwin explains.
Disappointment over the Mumbai Indians' performance in IPL 2026
“I want to see Yashasvi Jaiswal bat well because he has the ability. But this time, Rajasthan Royals’ story has been about Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, and on the day Jofra Archer was needed, he also stepped up. But all that said, the Mumbai Indians have been very, very, very, very underwhelming this season. This score was chaseable,” Ashwin added.
