Yashasvi Jaiswal Hospitalised For This Reason...

During the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match in Pune, Yashasvi Jaiswal experienced stomach cramps and required hospital treatment. He underwent ultrasound and a CT scan, with doctors prescribing rest. Mumbai secured a mid-innings chase win aided by Rahane and Sarfaraz Khan, while Jaiswal’s health remains the focus as the campaign continues.

India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal was taken to hospital with severe stomach cramps after Mumbai’s tense three-wicket win over Rajasthan in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in Pune. The 23-year-old opened the chase of 217, scored 15 from 16 balls, and later required treatment for acute gastroenteritis at Aditya Birla Hospital, according to a Times of India report.

The match, part of the Super League Group B stage, turned into a high-scoring thriller as Mumbai chased down Rajasthan’s 217 with 11 balls remaining. Ajinkya Rahane stayed unbeaten on 72, while Sarfaraz Khan smashed a rapid 73 off 22 balls to keep the defending champions on course despite regular wickets.

The report stated that Yashasvi Jaiswal felt stomach cramps throughout the game but continued to bat and field. After the match, the discomfort became more intense, leading to an urgent hospital visit. At Aditya Birla Hospital, Jaiswal underwent an ultrasound and a CT scan before doctors prescribed medication and advised adequate rest.

Mumbai’s chase began briskly with a 41-run opening stand between Ajinkya Rahane and Yashasvi Jaiswal, laying a solid base against Rajasthan’s bowlers. Jaiswal fell for 15, but Rahane then combined with Sarfaraz Khan to smash 111 runs off just 39 balls for the second wicket, turning the chase into a dominant position.

Rahane scored 72 from 41 deliveries, hitting seven fours and three sixes, and played the anchor role through the chase. Sarfaraz scored even faster, attacking from the outset and hammering seven sixes and six fours. His 73 off only 22 balls came in another successful chase beyond 200, continuing a strong pattern in this format.

Rajasthan briefly hit back after Sarfaraz Khan’s dismissal to Manav Suthar, who finished with figures of 4-0-23-3 and led their fightback. Mumbai slipped as Angkrish Raghuvanshi was out for 0, Sairaj Patil for 4, Suryansh Shedge for 10, and captain Shardul Thakur for 2, leaving Rahane short of steady support in the middle phase.

The equation eased again once Atharva Ankolekar walked in at No 8 and counter-attacked. Ankolekar struck three sixes and one four in a nine-ball 26, swinging momentum back towards Mumbai. Rahane then steered Mumbai home alongside Shams Mulani, who finished 4 not out, guiding the side across the line with comfort despite earlier stumbles.

For Mumbai, the result strengthened their Super League Group B campaign in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, but concern remained around Yashasvi Jaiswal’s health. With scans completed and medication advised, Jaiswal is expected to rest while Mumbai manage both the tournament workload and the fitness of one of their key top-order batters.
