Yashasvi Jaiswal’s elder brother, Tejasvi Jaiswal, struck his maiden T20 half-century, playing for Tripura in their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025/26 game against Uttarakhand in Ahmedabad.
Tejasvi, who joined Tripura just last year, was playing only his third T20 game and first this season, all of which have come in the SMAT. Coming in at No. 3 after Sridam Paul’s (43 off 22) dismissal at the end of the powerplay, Jaiswal went on to score a composed fifty.
Batting alongside sidelined India stars Hanuma Vihari and Vijay Shankar, he added a combined 49 runs with the duo before joining hands with captain Manisankar Murasingh to add another 29 before departing for a 37-ball 51.

The southpaw’s knock included one four and four sixes, two of which came against left-arm pacer Agrim Tiwari. But Tiwari also accounted for his wicket in the 18th over, with Tripura at 138-4. Swapnil Singh provided the finishing touches, scoring 20 off nine to take the side to 163-6. Uttarakhand were yet to start their innings at the time of writing.
