"Got a tattoo of an anchor there" - Team India star makes hilarious revelation ahead of IND vs AUS 2025 series 

Team India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal recently shared the reason behind getting an 'anchor' tattooed on his ankle. The southpaw joked that he did that because he was facing some issues with his ankle.

The 23-year-old suggested that he initially thought that getting a tattoo of an anchor on that ankle would help him fix the problem. Speaking about the reason behind the particular tattoo, Jaiswal said during an interview with MensXP (at 42:00):

"I had a slight issue in my left ankle recently. So, I got a tattoo of an anchor there, thinking that it would be fine if I put an anchor there. I thought that if I get an anchor tattoo, my ankle would become stable."

Meanwhile, Jaiswal was part of India's Test squad for the recently concluded two-match home series against West Indies. He was the highest run-scorer of the series, amassing 219 runs across three innings.

The left-handed batter played a brilliant 175-run knock before being run out in the first innings of the second Test. India completed a 2-0 whitewash over the visitors.
