Yashasvi Bhupendra Kumar Jaiswal (Hindi: [jʌʃʌˈsʋiː ˈdʒɛːswaːl]; born 28 December 2001) is an Indian international cricketer who plays for the national team. He made his international debut in the first Test against the West Indies in July 2023, scoring a century in his first innings in Test cricket.[3] He plays for Mumbai in domestic cricket and Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League.

A left-handed opening batter, Jaiswal gained particular attention when he scored double centuries in two consecutive test matches against England in a 5-match Test series in 2024. He is the third Indian batter to achieve the feat after Vinod Kambli and Virat Kohli. Yashasvi is the third youngest cricketer in Test history to have two double centuries to his name after Sir Don Bradman and Vinod Kambli.[4] In the same series, he equaled the world record held by Wasim Akram for the most number of sixes (12) scored by a cricketer in a test innings.[5] Also he became only the second Indian after Sunil Gavaskar to score 700 runs in a Test series.[6]

He was a member of the Indian squad which won the Gold Medal at the 2022 Asian Games in 2023 and the finalist squad of the 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, where he was the Player of the Tournament[7] and the highest run scorer.[8] He was also a standby member of the Indian squad which played the 2023 ICC World Test Championship final and finished as runners up.[9] He was also a part of the Indian team which won the 2024 T20 World Cup, but did not feature in any of the matches during the tournament.
