Yashasvi Jaiswal — IPL 2026
🌟 Yashasvi Jaiswal — The Future is HERE!
Forget "young talent" or "upcoming player" — Yashasvi Jaiswal IS the present and future of Indian cricket. At just 24, this left-hander from Mumbai has already smashed double centuries in Tests, dominated IPL like a veteran, and become India's next batting superstar.
RR retained Jaiswal and honestly, they'd be crazy not to. He opens the innings, plays 360 degrees, and has a hunger that reminds you of young Kohli. The batting talent is out of this world.
In Dream11, Jaiswal at 9.5 credits is premium but totally worth it. Let's see why he's one of the most selected players in fantasy cricket for IPL 2026.

💰 Dream11 Fantasy Analysis
Jaiswal is the kind of opener Dream11 players love — aggressive from ball one, plays the full innings, and has a ceiling that touches 100+ fantasy points. At 9.5 credits, he's in the premium bracket but his consistency justifies it.
🎯 Jaiswal's Dream11 Numbers
Captain pick? ABSOLUTELY. Jaiswal as captain at home (Sawai Mansingh, Jaipur) is one of the safest picks in IPL. Flat pitch, fast outfield, and a batsman who averages 45+ there. Captain lock.
📈 Recent Form & Key Numbers

- At Jaipur: Average 48, SR 162 — HOME BULLY
⚔️ Key Matchups This Season
Jasprit Bumrah (MI)
The big test for any young batsman. Bumrah has kept Jaiswal quiet in some games but Jaiswal has also smashed him for sixes. An evolving rivalry.
Rashid Khan (GT)
Left-hander vs leg-spin. Jaiswal reads Rashid well and has scored freely against him. One of the better matchups for Jaiswal — captain material in RR vs GT.
Mitchell Starc (DC)
Left-arm pace vs left-hand bat. Starc can swing it away from Jaiswal. Slightly tricky matchup in powerplay — but Jaiswal adapts fast.
🚀 Expert Verdict
Captain at Jaipur. Vice-captain everywhere else. Premium opener who delivers consistently.
