The loss of form of young Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal in the IPL 2025 season has left fans deeply disappointed. Yashasvi, who had shone with his best performances in the last two seasons, is making do with low scores this time and is currently unable to perform at the level he should have shown. Yashasvi, who had disappointed in the first three matches of IPL 2025 for Rajasthan Royals by scoring 1, 29 and 4 runs respectively, seemed to make a comeback with 67 runs in the fourth match, but his dismissal for just 6 runs in the fifth match against Gujarat Titans has cast doubts on his performance.

Basit's response

Basit also responded to the recent retirement of Team India seniors Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from international T20s. "It is the right decision for them to retire after winning the T20 World Cup 2024. There are already many talented young cricketers in India. These places need to be freed up for them. But I did not expect Kohli to announce his retirement so soon. However, it is the right decision," he said.

Comments on Yashasvi

Ali made harsh comments on Yashasvi. “His stomach is full. Now it seems he has no interest in cricket. This is my open message. He needs to change now. Otherwise, he will face the same situation as Prithvi Shaw. Love cricket . Play with passion,” Basit warned. These words are currently going viral on social media.

Rajasthan Royals' current situation is also not that good. They have played five matches so far and won only two. As a result, they are at the seventh position in the points table with four points. The lack of form of opener Yashasvi Jaiswal in the team and the failure of the top order are having a serious impact on the team's results. He needs to rethink his game and his approach to get back into form.Cricket categoriesThere is a debate in cricket circles that if he doesn't change, he will remain just another young talent who has talent but hasn't come to the limelight.
