Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Uttar Pradesh, Yashasvi moved to Mumbai as a child to pursue cricket. He lived in tents at Azad Maidan and worked odd jobs while finding opportunities to play. Coach Jwala Singh spotted his talent there and helped guide his development.
The first big stages.
A 203 against Jharkhand in the 2019 Vijay Hazare Trophy made him, at the time, the youngest batter to score a List A double century. Rajasthan Royals then bought him at the auction ahead of IPL 2020. At the 2020 Under-19 World Cup, he led the run charts with 400 runs and won Player of the Tournament as India reached the final.
From the IPL to India.
His 2023 IPL season brought 625 runs, a maiden IPL hundred and a record 13-ball fifty against Kolkata Knight Riders. His Test debut followed that July, with 171 against West Indies. In early 2024, he made consecutive double centuries against England, including an unbeaten 214 in Rajkot.
Still building.
His hundreds in Perth and Headingley showed what he could do on his first Test visits to Australia and England. In December 2025, his maiden ODI hundred completed his set of centuries across all three international formats. By November 2026, he was scoring consecutive hundreds for India A in New Zealand ahead of the senior Test series.
