Jaiswal in the U19 World Cup scored 400 runs, at an average of 133 showcasing the entire world his batting prowess. It seemed for a brief moment, that Jaiswal, indeed, was invincible, when he came home and smashed a 185 for Mumbai U23 in the CK Nayudu tie against Puducherry. But his rise, at least briefly, will be hindered with a shoulder injury that is set to keep him away from the game for at least three weeks.Â
