Yashasvi Jaiswal set to stay with Rajasthan Royals for 2027

Yashasvi Jaiswal will remain with Rajasthan Royals for the IPL 2027 season despite earlier trade speculation. A team official confirmed the plans to retain the opener on the roster.

Jaiswal was involved in a heated altercation with Sri Lanka pacer Asitha Fernando during the recent Test series. Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar criticised the lenient punishment and urged the ICC and BCCI to take stricter action on disciplinary violations by young players.

Dodda Ganesh backed Manjrekar's stance and called for consistent enforcement of conduct rules. Jaiswal's retention keeps the franchise's core batting lineup intact ahead of the next cycle.
