India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal opened up about being scolded by Rohit Sharma and getting left behind at the team hotel in Adelaide during the recent BGT 2024-25 series. The incident occurred as the team bus left for the airport to travel to Brisbane for the match.

Jaiswal was reportedly late to assemble in the hotel lobby before departure, prompting captain Rohit Sharma to lose his cool and exit the squad vehicle, instructing the logistics manager to get him. Following a brief conversation, the bus left without Jaiswal, and a car was eventually arranged to transport him to the airport.

Jaiswal revealed what actually went down on that day and why he was late for departure.

“Oh, I thought our arrival time was our departure time, so I got a little confused,” Jaiswal said on Raj Shamani’s YouTube channel.

When asked if he received a scolding from team management, Jaiswal said, “The scolding wasn’t that bad. I said, ‘Sir, it was a genuine mistake, and I am very sorry.’ He said, ‘It’s okay, but be aware.’ He also said if I feel unsure, I can talk about it.”

Jaiswal also revealed that Rohit Sharma took the matter lightly and joked about the same. Jaiswal added that he accepted responsibility for the delay.

“Rohit bhai was very funny in those moments as well—funny in a good way, like a little entertaining. He asked me to apologize to everyone. When I saw the bus had left without me, I said, ‘Okay, fine, I deserved that, and I accept the punishment. I should be on time. How could I miss it? I shouldn’t have missed it,” Jaiswal added.

Jaiswal had a good BGT 2024-25, scoring 391 runs in 10 innings, including a century.
