Food poisoning scare for Yashasvi Jaiswal as Indian opener loses 2 Kg weight in two days

Drastic weight loss for Yashasvi Jaiswal. The opener has lost 2 kg in the last couple of days. Because of stomach pain, the batter was admitted to a hospital. It was previously reported that Jaiswal felt severe stomach pain during Mumbai’s Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match against Rajasthan in Pune, for which he was admitted to a hospital.

It was assumed that the problem was not serious and could be cured soon. But now, as per the latest reports, the stomach pain Jaiswal experienced was not something to take casually. As of now, the batter is now in complete bed rest. For at least seven days, he will have to remain on bed rest.

In the latest media report, the Times of India informed, "What initially looked like a normal stomach bug turned out to be acute gastroenteritis following ultrasound and other necessary scans. He was administered IV medication and has been advised to rest and take a course of medicines. The southpaw has been released from the hospital and is back in Mumbai. Jaiswal has lost over two kgs and has been advised a complete rest for the next seven to 10 days."

The prescribed seven to ten days of bed rest can affect the batter's future plans, as he is scheduled to play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Mumbai. Mumbai will start their campaign against Sikkim on December 24. But why was Jaiswal's condition affected? A source close to TOI informed us that it was a case of food poisoning. He might have eaten something in the hotel that made a bad impression on his health.

"It is food poisoning. He ate something in the Pune hotel, which has led to this. There was pain, but the condition is much better after timely medication. He has lost over 2 kgs already in the last two days, and the doctors have asked him to rest at least for the next 7-10 days," the source said.
