Jaiswal For Mumbai

He has played 36 matches for Mumbai, in which he has amassed 3712 runs. It comprises of 12 centuries and 12 fifties. Despite being born in Uttar Pradesh's Bhadohi village, Jaiswal has a special connect with Mumbai as he grew in the sport in the maximum city and then got all the opportunities. 

Last season, Jaiswal only featured in a solitary game for Mumbai. In that game against Jammu and Kashmir, he scored 4 and 26 in his two outings. His form has been iffy in the ongoing IPL season as well. In three matches in IPL 2025, he has amassed 34 runs at an average of 11.33. Without a doubt, as the tournament progresses, these numbers would improve.

But in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, he was one of India's silver linings from an otherwise disappointing tour. He managed to score 391 runs at an average of 43.44. This included a couple of fifties and a century. 

Why Jaiswal Made The Choice? 

It is not clear or confirmed why Jaiswal is going to make this move. But surely, in the next few days - there should be more clarity on why Jaiswal opted to join Goa. Is it because he will get to lead Goa, unlike Mumbai?
