Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 3 (ANI): Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and all-rounder Shardul Thakur have been included in Mumbai's squad for the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal clash against Karnataka starting from February 6 onwards.

In SMAT 2025/26, he made scores of 29 (against Hyderabad), 101 (against Rajasthan), and 15 (against Haryana). During the VHT 2025/26, he scored 46 (against Goa), 3 (against Maharashtra), and 15 (against Himachal Pradesh).

In 11 first-class matches for Mumbai, Jaiswal has made 1,086 runs at an average of 60.33 and a strike rate of 62.59, with five centuries and three fifties in 21 innings, with best score of 181.
