Yashasvi Jaiswal

This web story begins with a young Yashasvi Jaiswal selling pani puri on the streets of Mumbai. He had moved from Uttar Pradesh with one dream- to play cricket for India. Life was tough. He slept in tents near the grounds and did small jobs to survive.

Then came a turning point. Coach Jwala Singh saw his talent, gave him a home and trained him. Jaiswal’s journey from street corners to stadiums had truly begun.

Then the web story shows how Jaiswal grabbed attention in Indian cricket. He scored big runs in the 2019 Vijay Hazare Trophy, including a double century. Soon after, he starred in the 2020 U-19 World Cup, winning Player of the Tournament as India finished runners-up.

His U-19 success earned him an IPL deal with Rajasthan Royals for Rs 2.4 crore. His fearless batting made him a fan favourite in the league.

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s time with Team India takes focus. He was a standby in the 2023 World Test Championship final and part of the squad that won the 2024 T20 World Cup, though he didn’t play a match. On February 6, 2025, he finally made his ODI debut against England in Nagpur, scoring 15 runs. While he wasn’t picked for the Champions Trophy later that year, his international journey is just getting started.
