Star India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal was on Tuesday hospitalised with acute gastroenteritis, according to a report in The Indian Express, hours after Mumbai beat Rajasthan in a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Super
League encounter in Pune. Yashasvi scored 15 runs off 16 balls in the game.
According to the report, Jaiswal experienced stomach cramps that worsened after the game. He was rushed to the Aditya Birla Hospital in Pimpri-Chinchwad, where he was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis.
Jaiswal was administered IV medication and underwent ultrasound and CT scans, after which he was advised to continue his medication and rest, according to the report.
Jaiswal scored 145 runs in three matches in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy at an average of 48.33 and a strike rate of 168.6.
Ahead of the domestic T20 tournament, Jaiswal featured in the three-match ODI series against South Africa, where he scored 156 runs in three matches at a stunning average of 78.
Meanwhile, Ajinkya Rahane’s unbeaten 72 and Sarfaraz Khan’s blistering 22-ball 73 powered Mumbai to a three-wicket victory over Rajasthan in their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Super League Group B clash in Pune on Tuesday.
Rahane scored 72 off 41 deliveries (7 fours, 3 sixes), but it was Sarfaraz Khan who stole the show, smashing 73 off just 22 balls with seven sixes and six fours in another chase exceeding 200.
Chasing 217, Mumbai stayed relentless and despite losing wickets at regular intervals, they stayed on course for a commanding victory, overhauling the target with 11 deliveries to spare, with Rahane anchoring the chase.
Mumbai remained undeterred despite losing Jaiswal (15) after a 41-run opening partnership with Rahane. The latter then joined forces with Sarfaraz Khan, putting on a blistering 111-run stand off just 39 balls for the second wicket.
Sarfaraz fell to Manav Suthar (4-0-23-3) after a whirlwind innings laden with powerful hits down the ground, which saw Mumbai stutter as they lost wickets in heaps.
