India’s rising batting star Yashasvi Jaiswal was hospitalised on Tuesday after being diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis, just hours after featuring in Mumbai’s high-scoring Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Super League clash against Rajasthan in Pune. According to a report by The Indian Express, the left-hander experienced severe stomach cramps following the match, which worsened as the night progressed, prompting his admission to the Aditya Birla Hospital in Pimpri-Chinchwad.
Jaiswal, who scored 15 runs off 16 deliveries in the contest, was placed under medical observation and administered intravenous medication. The report added that ultrasound and CT scans were conducted as a precaution, following which doctors advised the 22-year-old to continue medication and take adequate rest.
While there is no immediate cause for alarm, the incident comes at a time when Jaiswal has been juggling a heavy workload across formats. The Mumbai opener has enjoyed a productive domestic season so far.

In the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he has accumulated 145 runs from three matches at an impressive average of 48.33 and a strike rate of 168.60, underlining his growing maturity in the shortest format. Prior to the tournament, Jaiswal was in red-hot form during India’s ODI series against South Africa, where he piled up 156 runs in three matches at a remarkable average of 78, further strengthening his case as a multi-format mainstay.

Despite Jaiswal’s early exit, Mumbai produced a breathtaking run chase to overpower Rajasthan by three wickets in their Super League Group B encounter. Veteran Ajinkya Rahane led from the front with a composed unbeaten 72 off 41 balls, striking seven fours and three sixes to anchor the innings.
However, it was Sarfaraz Khan who provided the fireworks, hammering a sensational 73 off just 22 deliveries, an innings studded with six fours and seven towering sixes. Chasing a daunting 217, Mumbai never lost momentum despite wickets falling at regular intervals.
