What religion is Yashasvi Jaiswal?
Yashasvi Jaiswal practices Hinduism. He was born into a Hindu family in Suriyawan, Uttar Pradesh, a state in northern India with a predominantly Hindu population. His full name — Yashasvi Bhupendra Kumar Jaiswal — reflects the naming conventions common in Hindu families. While Jaiswal himself has not made a public statement about his religious views, his family background and regional roots strongly indicate his Hindu identity.
Does Yashasvi Jaiswal have a girlfriend?
As of early 2025, Yashasvi Jaiswal is unmarried. Social media chatter and fan accounts have linked him to a person named “Maddie,” but neither Jaiswal nor any official representative has confirmed a relationship. There is no credible news article, interview, or verified social media post establishing a romantic partner.
- How did Jaiswal and Maddie meet? No confirmed details exist. The rumour appears to originate from speculation on fan forums and unverified Instagram stories.
- Who is Yashasvi Jaiswal’s rumoured girlfriend? The name “Maddie” (last name unknown) circulates on gossip platforms, but no evidence links her to Jaiswal. Treat this as unconfirmed.
Without an official statement or reliable media sighting, the girlfriend rumour remains speculative. For now, the public record shows Jaiswal as single and focused on cricket.
How old is Yashasvi Jaiswal?

He also holds a first-class double century (209*, for West Zone vs East Zone in the Duleep Trophy). His highest Test score is 214*.
Two Test double centuries in a single series places Jaiswal in rare company. Only a handful of Indian batters have ever done it — and he did it at age 22.

What are Yashasvi Jaiswal’s career statistics?
Here’s a breakdown of Jaiswal’s numbers across formats. One pattern: his Test average sits above 48, while his IPL strike rate exceeds 145 — a rare combo of patience in red-ball and aggression in T20s.
| Format | Matches | Runs | Average | Strike Rate | Centuries | Fifties | Highest Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Test | 29 | 2,535 | 48.75 | — | 5 | 10 | 214* |
| ODI | 1 | 16 | 16.00 | 64.00 | 0 | 0 | 16 |
| T20I | 23 | 502 | 22.81 | 147.64 | 0 | 4 | 100 |
| IPL | 63 | 1,916 | 32.41 | 146.81 | 1 | 13 | 124 |
Jaiswal’s Test average of 48.75 after 29 matches is elite for his age. His IPL strike rate of over 146 demonstrates he can dominate the shortest format while staying consistent across seasons.
Does Yashasvi Jaiswal bowl?
- Bowling style: Right-arm offbreak (Cricbuzz (cricket stats platform))
- Test wickets: 0 (bowls rarely in international cricket)
- IPL wickets: 2 (bowls very occasionally)
- He is primarily a batter; bowling is a secondary skill used only when conditions favour spin.
What is Yashasvi Jaiswal’s net worth?
Estimates place Yashasvi Jaiswal’s net worth at around $2 million (approximately ₹16.5 crore) as of early 2025. No official disclosure exists, so the number is an industry estimate based on:
- IPL salary: ₹2.40 crore per season (bought by Rajasthan Royals in 2020) (IPL T20 (official league website))
- BCCI annual retainer: Reported around ₹1 crore (Grade C contract)
- Endorsements: Yet to be confirmed — no major brand deals announced as of early 2025
Until Jaiswal signs a major endorsement or releases financial records, the $2 million figure is an educated guess. His earnings are modest compared to established stars like Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma.

Perspectives on Jaiswal’s career
“Yashasvi Jaiswal combines fluency with clear thinking in a display of dazzling strokeplay.”
“He is fearless, authoritative, and classy with the bat.”
BCCI (Indian cricket board)
“Jaiswal left home in Uttar Pradesh at age 10 to live in Mumbai and pursue cricket.”
ESPNcricinfo (cricket journalism)
“He is unique for scoring debut Test centuries in three different countries: the West Indies, Australia, and England.”
What this all means
Jaiswal’s rise from a cramped tent in Mumbai’s Azad Maidan to the Indian Test side is already a story of resilience. His two Test double centuries in 2024 at age 22 suggest he is not just a flash-in-the-pan T20 talent but a genuine red-ball force. For Indian cricket fans, the question is no longer whether he will succeed — it’s how many records he will rewrite before he turns 30. For bowlers in world cricket, the implication is clear: plan for Jaiswal, or watch him take you apart.
