The Viral “No Sleep” Exchange
Before stepping into the batting nets, Jaiswal reportedly told Jadeja that he had not slept well the previous night. His immediate aggressive strokeplay prompted a humorous response from the senior all-rounder.
“Abhi keh raha tha neend nahi hui raatko. Room mei practice karke aaya hai yeh (He was just saying he hadn’t slept well at night. But he’s come after practicing in his room),” Jadeja remarked, expressing disbelief at the opener’s effortless timing.
The video quickly circulated across social media platforms, highlighting Jaiswal’s natural attacking instinct and the relaxed atmosphere within the camp.
Rajasthan Royals Build Toward the Upcoming IPL Season
While the interaction took place during national team duties, Jaiswal remains a cornerstone for the Indian Premier League franchise Rajasthan Royals. The team is looking to capitalize on his explosive top-order batting following his successful recent campaigns.

The young talent previously gained international attention by scoring a 58-ball century for the India U-19 team against Australia U-19, adding a unique blend of youth to the roster.
