Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal revealed that he strives to improve his game by one percent each day by working hard. The Royals have retained the 20-year old aggressive opener for a ₹4 crore paycheck along with Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson.

Jaiswal will be hoping to repay the management's faith by performing consistently with the bat in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season.

As part of the Rajasthan Royals' training camp in Mumbai, the southpaw is training hard to prepare for the IPL 2022 season. While speaking in a video uploaded by RR's official Instagram handle, Yashasvi Jaiswal gave fans some insight into his mindset regarding the training regime and said:

"If I don't play cricket, I don't know what I would do. For me, it's important to keep playing. Wake up in the morning and go to practice and keep honing skills. I just don't want to sit idle. We shouldn't ever give up. Should keep on trying. If we keep on trying hard nobody can defeat us. That's what I keep on doing. I try to improve my game at least by 1% every single day."

In IPL 2021, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 249 runs across 10 games at an impressive strike rate of 148.21, including one fifty.
