Yashasvi Jaiswal is one of the rising stars in Indian cricket. The left-handed batter came into the spotlight while playing for the country in the ICC U-19 World Cup 2020. Jaiswal played an integral role in India’s journey to the final as he scored heaps of runs for the Boys in Blue. Unfortunately, India lost to Bangladesh U-19s in the summit clash of that competition.
Soon after, Jaiswal made his debut for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League. Even though he was not so impressive in the initial two seasons, Jaiswal received a contract worth 4 crore from the Jaipur-based franchise ahead of the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League.
In an interview with ESPNCricinfo, Yashavi Jaiswal discussed his journey from bottom to top. Once upon a time, he used to help sell pani puri near Azad Maidan to make ends meet, but now he earns in crores. Here’s what he had to say:
“The journey I’ve had, that will stay with me for life. And that will always give me confidence. It’s not that I have got something now [financially], and so I will think differently. I still think the same and I stay the same. I haven’t made any extraordinary changes in my life, and I am not going to either.”
Yashasvi Jaiswal is playing for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy knockouts right now
After finishing runners-up in IPL 2022 with the Rajasthan Royals, Jaiswal is now representing Mumbai in the knockout round of Ranji Trophy 2022. He is a member of the Mumbai squad for their upcoming semifinal match against Uttar Pradesh. Fans should note that UP is Jaiswal’s home state.
It will be exciting to see how Jaiswal performs in the semifinal match of Ranji Trophy 2022. After RR failed to win the trophy, Jaiswal will be keen to win a title with Mumbai this year.
