New Delhi: Yashasvi Jaiswal has been selected for Team India’s Test series against the West Indies. However, even before the series begins, he has already made his name known. Time magazine has recognized the talent of this left-handed Indian opener. This prestigious American magazine has included Yashasvi in its list of the world’s 100 most influential emerging figures. Interestingly, Jaiswal is the only cricketer not only in India but in the world to be included in this list.
TIME magazine selected individuals from around the world for this list, whether they are from the entertainment field, sports, politics, fashion, or elsewhere. Individuals who have made an impact in their respective fields have been included in TIME’s 100 Next list. Most importantly, TIME did not set any age limit for making it to this list.
Five athletes from the sports world have been included in TIME magazine’s 100 Next 2025 list. These five athletes are from different sports and are Lamin Yamal, Paige Bueckers, Taylor Fritz, Jino Thitikul, and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Lamin Yamal is a footballer, Paige Bueckers is a basketball player, Taylor Fritz is a tennis player, Jino Thitikul is a golfer, and Yashasvi Jaiswal is a cricketer.
The most remarkable thing about TIME’s 100 Next list is that Yashasvi is the only cricketer in the world to make it. Meanwhile, more than 50 women have made it to the list. The most notable person to make it to the list is 16-year-old Alliston Berry.
