Early life

Jaiswal was born on 28 December 2001 in Suriyawan, Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, as the fourth of six children,[2] to Bhupendra Jaiswal, the owner of a small hardware store, and Kanchan Jaiswal, a housewife. At the age of ten, he moved to Mumbai to receive cricket training at Azad Maidan. He was initially given accommodation in a dairy shop in return for work but was evicted by the shopkeeper as he was unable to work frequently. As a result he lived in a tent with the groundsmen at the Maidan,[6] where he sold panipuri to make ends meet.[7]

After living in tents for three years, Jaiswal's cricketing potential was spotted in December 2013 by Jwala Singh, who ran a cricket academy in Santacruz. He provided Jaisawal with a place to stay,[2][8] before becoming his legal guardian and obtaining his power of attorney.[6]

Career

Youth career

Jaiswal first came to prominence in 2015 when he scored 319 not out and took 13/99 in a Giles Shield match, an all-round record in schools cricket in India.[9][10] He was selected for the Mumbai under-16 squad and later the India national under-19 cricket team.[9] Jaiswal was the highest run-scorer (318 runs) and player of the tournament at the 2018 Under-19 Asia Cup which India won.[11][12]

In 2019, Jaiswal scored 173 from 220 balls in a Youth Test match against South Africa under-19s.[13] Later that year, he scored 294 runs in seven matches, including four half-centuries, in the under-19 tri-series in England.[14] In December 2019, he was named in India's squad for the 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[15] Jaiswal was the leading run scorer in the tournament, including scoring a century against Pakistan under-19s in the semi-final.[16]

Senior career
Jaiswal in 2019

Jaiswal made his first-class debut for Mumbai in the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy on 7 January 2019[17] and his List A debut on 28 September 2019 in the 2019–20 Vijay Hazare Trophy.[18] On 16 October 2019, he scored 203 runs from 154 balls in a Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Jharkhand and became the youngest double centurion in the history of List A cricket at 17 years, 292 days. His innings included 17 fours and 12 sixes[19][20] and he was one of the top five run-scorers during the competition, scoring 564 runs in six matches at a batting average of 112.80.[21] He was named in the India B squad for the 2019–20 Deodhar Trophy.[22]

In the 2020 IPL auction, he was bought by the Rajasthan Royals[23] and made his Twenty20 cricket debut for the side on 22 September 2020. He made his maiden T20 half-century against Chennai Super Kings on 2 October 2021, the second fastest in franchise history at the time,[24][25] and his maiden T20 century on 30 April 2023, scoring 124 from 62 balls against Mumbai Indians.[26] On 11 May 2023 he hit the fastest IPL half-century in just 13 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders, surpassing the previous record jointly held by KL Rahul and Pat Cummins. He finished the 2023 IPL as Rajasthan's leading run scorer with 625 runs in 14 matches.[27]

International career

In June 2023, Jaiswal received his maiden call up to India's Test cricket squad for the series against the West Indies.[28] He made his debut in the first Test of the series, scoring a century opening the batting with a score of 171 runs and also received the Player of the Match as he contributed them in their win.[29] He made his T20I debut in the 3rd match of the T20I series against West Indies in August 2023.[30] He scored his maiden T20I half-century–84* off 51 balls– in the fourth match of the series while sharing a 165-run opening partnership with Shubman Gill.[31][32]
