Following Jaiswal’s exit, speculations ran wild with reports suggesting that a "coup" was brewing within the Mumbai team. Some sources even hinted that Suryakumar Yadav was allegedly leading the movement, encouraging other players to consider a move away from Mumbai. However, insiders close to the cricketer denied these claims.

Suryakumar Yadav’s Hilarious Response

Dismissing the rumors in style, Suryakumar Yadav took to social media to poke fun at the reports. Sharing a screenshot of the article on X (formerly Twitter), he sarcastically questioned the credibility of the journalist, jokingly comparing the report to a work of fiction.

"Script writer hai ya journalist? Agar hasna hai toh I will stop watching comedy movies and start reading these articles. Ekdum bakwas," he wrote, which quickly went viral among fans.

Jaiswal Joins the List of Mumbai Players Moving to Goa

Jaiswal isn’t the first Mumbai cricketer to make the switch—he follows in the footsteps of Arjun Tendulkar and Siddhesh Lad, both of whom moved to Goa before the 2022-23 season.

Despite his immense talent, Jaiswal’s journey hasn’t been without struggles. Originally from Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, he moved to Mumbai at just 12 years old to pursue his cricketing dreams. Facing financial hardships, he even spent nights in a tent before being discovered by coach Jwala Singh, who helped shape his career.

Mixed Fortunes in Domestic Cricket

Jaiswal's last appearance for Mumbai came in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 season, where he played against Jammu and Kashmir alongside India captain Rohit Sharma. However, both players failed to make an impact, with Jaiswal managing scores of just 4 and 26 as Mumbai suffered a five-wicket loss.

His departure marks the end of a crucial chapter in Mumbai’s cricketing legacy, raising questions about how the team will shape up in the future.

What’s Next?

With Jaiswal focusing on his next phase in Goa and Suryakumar Yadav continuing to shine on the field, Mumbai cricket finds itself amid change. Whether these moves signal a larger shift in domestic cricket remains to be seen.
