Coming on the back of a scorching-hot form in Tests, which included a noteworthy tour of England and a 175 against the West Indies at home, Jaiswal had also made a blazing return to the domestic multi-day tournament. During his solitary appearance in the third fixture of the Ranji Trophy 2025-26, the opener smacked 223 runs.
His heroics against Rajasthan witnessed a gritty 67, followed by a magnificent 156-run knock in the second innings. However, despite the scintillating show from the 24-year-old, a massive second-innings total from Rajasthan ended the match in a draw.
On the other hand, except for notching up 159 runs against Chhattisgarh in the second match, Rahane endured an average outing in the event. He managed only 209 runs in six innings, averaging 34.83.
