Jaiswal smashed a double hundred in a Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Jharkhand on October 16, 2019. He also became the youngest batter in the world to score a double hundred in 50-over cricket including List A and ODIs.

Jaiswal has also got the words ‘believe’ and ‘trust’ tattooed on his body. On one side of his stomach, he has imprinted the crucial days of his cricketing journey which includes the date of his debut in the IPL, Ranji Trophy, Vijay Hazare and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
