"Whatever the future brings," Yashasvi Jasiwal's cryptic post after the Royals' end of IPL 2025 sparked widespread speculation. Get the full story here.
Barely a day after the Rajasthan Royals' IPL 2025 campaign ended, Jaiswal dropped a social media bombshell. "Whatever the future brings," Yashasvi Jasiwal's cryptic post after the Royals' end of IPL 2025 ignited a number of theories about his future with the franchise.
What exactly did he mean? What's next for the young star?
Yashasvi Jaiswal was the key player and highest run-scorer for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025. The franchise retained him for ₹18 crore ahead of the tournament and which was totally worth it.
Jaiswal scored 559 runs in 14 matches, with 6 half-centuries to his name.
Despite Jaiswal's individual brilliance with the bat, the team's campaign ended without a playoff berth due to lack of collective consistency as an unit. The youngest debutant, Vaibhav Suryavanshi's confidence with the bat, alongside Jaiswal, was also a notable aspect for RR.
However, the team only managed to win 4 matches out of 14 played.

Jaiswal's initial cryptic post, "Whatever the future brings," immediately sparked rumours of his departure from the Rajasthan Royals after their iPL 2025 exit. However, he later edited the caption to minimize the narratives.
He quickly edited the caption to include gratitude for the Rajasthan Royals and clarify his "next challenge" was with team India. It was aimed to turn the potential exit hint into a forward-looking statement about his international career.
Here's the edited caption of Jaiswal's post:
It says, "Thank you, Rajasthan Royals, for everything. Not the season we hoped for, but continue to be grateful for our journey together. On to the next challenge 🇮🇳 and whatever the future brings YBJ 64."

Some talk about him leaving RR's side, some see his potential to join KKR for the next season.
Here's what everyone has to say about this.
He edited the post but the auction is still long away, Jaiswal to KKR is still a high possibility given that Jaiswal wants captaincy!!#IPL2025 #YashasviJaiswal pic.twitter.com/d3LmDR5pvS
