Despite Rahane’s efforts to calm a 20-year-old youngster, Jaiswal continued his verbal volleys. Taking a firm stand on discipline, Rahane made the bold decision to send Jaiswal off the field. Jaiswal, visibly frustrated, muttered under his breath as he exited. He was eventually allowed to return in the 65th over.The viral moment has resurfaced just as Jaiswal announced his departure from Mumbai cricket, requesting a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to play for Goa in the 2025–26 season. In his statement, Jaiswal expressed gratitude toward the Mumbai Cricket Association but cited personal and career-related reasons for his move.His transfer is being seen as a major coup for Goa, with former GCA secretary Rohan Desai hailing it as a turning point for the team.
