Is Yashasvi Jaiswal leaving RR? India star edits social media post to avoid 'next challenge' confusion image

Rajasthan Royals ended the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League on May 20 with a convincing win over the Chennai Super Kings to finish with 8 points on the board.

Earlier this season, they had become the second team to get knocked out after a string of poor finishes that led to losing quite a few games from winning positions.

However, as the Royals' season came to an end, Jaiswal's social media post triggered a bit of anxiety among the RR fans before he put an end to the unwanted rumours.
