Yashasvi Jaiswal Biography: What Makes Him So Special?

Other sports in India can learn a lot from cricket. India’s favorite pastime has created a robust ecosystem where quality players keep emerging. When Sunil Gavaskar retired, Indian cricket fans were worried about who would replace him, but then came Sachin Tendulkar. Everyone thought more or less the same when Sachin retired, but we found Virat Kohli. And now, Yashasvi Jaiswal looks like the player who is ready to take over the reins from Kohli himself, as the next superstar batsman for Team India in all formats.

What makes Yashavi Jaiswal a special player is not only his supreme cricket skills, but also his humble background. His success is built on overcoming countless struggles and challenges. Despite from a very poor family, Jaiswal was determined to become a cricketer, a dream he cherished from a very young age.

At an age when most children are busy making demands from their parents – whether it’s for buying new shoes or expensive mobile – Jaiswal had just one wish: to go to Mumbai and play cricket. He was only 10 years old at the time when he moved to Mumbai and in this journey, his father stood firmly by his side.

During an interview with BBC’s Test Match Special IPL Podacst, Jasiwal said –

“I just really wanted to play cricket but in India, in a village, it’s not easy to get an opportunity”. 

“My seniors, they were telling me if you want to play cricket just go to Mumbai. 

“That one thing stuck in my head – whenever I went to sleep or when talking to my mum, I told her I wanted to go to Mumbai.”

Working at a dairy shop and pani-puri shop

He moved to Mumbai where his only contact was an uncle whose who lived in Worli. But it was the start of his struggle. He took a job in a daily shop, but was fired after only two months for preferring cricket over the job.

To support himself, Jaiswal then found work with the owner of a roadside pani puri stall. He also played corporate matches to earn extra money. He often put a bet on his wicket, offering INR 100 to anyone who could dismiss him, and would get the same amount if they couldn’t.

Fate Intervened

Jaiswal wasn’t finding any success and so, his father decided to take his son back. But fate had other intentions.

On that fateful day, Jaiswal was playing at Mumbai’s famous Azaad Maidan. Jwala Singh, who runs a cricket academy in Mumbai, was present at the maidan that day, scouting for talent he could take back to his academy. Jwala Singh could see the immense talent in Jaiswal and asked the young boy to join his academy. That day marked a turning point in Jaiswal’s life, altering his fate forever.
