Did Feud With Ajinkya Rahane Lead Yashasvi Jaiswal To Move To Goa? Reports Make Stunning Claim

Yashasvi Jaiswal's strained relationship with Ajinkya Rahane reportedly influenced his decision to move to Goa.

Team India’s young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal‘s relationship with a senior Mumbai red-ball skipper Ajinkya Rahane had reportedly gone sour over the last few years and also became a big reason behind Jaiswal’s switch to Goa.

According to India Today reports, Jaiswal kicked Rahane’s kit bag in anger during the 2025-edition of the Ranji Trophy after feeling wrongly targeted by the captain and coach Omkar Salvi after Mumbai’s defeat to Jammu and Kashmir in the group stage.

The report also said that Mumbai chief selector Sanjay Patil’s statement about the defeat made Jaiswal feel that he was being targeted.

“I’m still upset at the J&K defeat, which I feel was our worst ever,” Patil had said. “To accommodate the India players in that match, we had to deprive a few talented youngsters. Mumbai needs players who can perform and make the side win games, something which was missing in that match. The India players need to realise it’s not just about being ‘available’ for that game. The culture of Mumbai cricket has always been about giving your 100% when you are playing for Mumbai.”

Goa has thrown me a new opportunity: Jaiswal

In an interview with the Indian Express, he said a ‘new opportunity’ and ‘leadership role’ at Goa was his motivation.

“Goa has thrown me a new opportunity, and it has offered me a leadership role. My first goal will be to do well for India, and whenever I’m not on national duty, I will be playing for Goa and try to take them deep into the tournament.”

This was an opportunity which came my way, and I just took it. It was a very tough decision for me. Whatever I am today is because of Mumbai. The city has made me who I am, and all my life, I will be indebted to the MCA,” he said.
