India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal will miss another Ranji Trophy match, having been left out of Mumbai’s squad for the league match against Delhi on January 29. While his absence is officially due to health reasons, a viral video of him running on a Mumbai street has sparked widespread curiosity on social media.

What’s the viral video about?

The trending video, reportedly shot in Mumbai, shows Yashasvi Jaiswal surrounded by fans. Initially, he is seen signing autographs and posing for selfies, but as the crowd grows and the requests don’t stop, Jaiswal suddenly breaks free and runs back towards his car.

The clip quickly went viral, with fans speculating whether he was being chased or avoiding something unusual. However, there is no controversy involved—he was simply trying to exit safely as the crowd became overwhelming.

Why is Yashasvi Jaiswal not playing the Ranji Trophy match?

According to a report by The Times of India, Jaiswal’s exclusion from the Mumbai team has nothing to do with the viral video.

Sources revealed that:

• Jaiswal suffered severe food poisoning during Mumbai’s final Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match

• He was hospitalised and later complained of recurring stomach pain

• He recently underwent an endoscopy as part of his recovery

As a precaution, Mumbai’s selectors decided not to risk him for the final Ranji Trophy league match against Delhi.

Current status

Yashasvi Jaiswal is said to be recovering well, but the team management prefers to give him adequate rest rather than rushing him back into competitive cricket.
