Jaiswal smacked a ton on his Test debut against West Indies and plays with no fear while facing the bowlers. He takes on the opposition team with the first ball and puts them under pressure. He also gives the Indian team a left-hand option at the top of the batting lineup and also makes it easy for his partner and Indian captain Rohit Sharma to play freely.

Yashasvi Jaiswal had a blast Indian Premier League 2023 for the Rajasthan Royals. Jaiswal scored 625 runs from 14 IPL 2023 games and smashed 5 half-centuries and 1 hundred at an average of 48.08. His strike rate throughout the season was 163.61.
