“I am looking to learn as much as I can from the senior players around me. They have a lot of experience across formats, something I am looking to consume and apply to myself. There is a big difference between U-19 cricket and senior-level cricket and I’ll probably have to start from scratch,” Yashasvi Jaiswal  said.

Jaiswal was bought for Rs.2.40 crore by Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2020 auction. The Jaipur franchise bagged the deal after there was an intense bidding against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP).
