Ajinkya Rahane has recounted an incident during the 2022 Duleep Trophy final in which he intervened to prevent Yashasvi Jaiswal from receiving a four-match ban. Rahane says he noticed the situation was escalating and acted as captain, taking responsibility during the moment with the match referee.
According to the accounts, Rahane’s intervention changes the outcome for Jaiswal, who otherwise would have faced disciplinary action. Both sources add that the episode did not hinder Jaiswal’s form afterward. They state that Jaiswal goes on to deliver a match-winning performance in the Duleep Trophy final, and later earns a debut for India.
The outlets focus on Rahane’s personal “revelation” and the impact it had on Jaiswal’s career trajectory. They do not provide additional details on the exact trigger for the proposed ban, but align on Rahane’s role in stopping it and on Jaiswal’s subsequent performances.
