Born in Mumbai, the cricket world is in awe of Yashasvi Jaiswal, a budding batting star. Jaiswal was raised in a humble household. His profession, selling pani puri, is evidence of his tenacity and diligence and representing India abroad
He showed his poise and capacity for handling pressure when he hit the game-winning century against Pakistan in the semi-finals. Jaiswal first came to notice at the 2020 U-19 World Cup, where he amassed 400 runs at an average of 133.33 to finish as the tournament's top run scorer.
His journey from humble beginnings to global prominence serves as an inspiration to aspiring cricket players everywhere. Jaiswal's incredible 2023 Indian Premier League season, which included a record-breaking 13-ball fifty against the Kolkata Knight Riders, created headlines.
In 2023, he struck an outstanding 171 in the first Test of his debut Test series against the West Indies, making him the third Indian opener to reach a century on debut outside of Asia. This inning proved his ability to gradually construct innings and adjust to the extended format.
The first player to hit 20 sixes in a series in Test history is Jaiswal. At the age of 22, he became the second Indian player to reach 500 runs in a Test series after Sunil Gavaskar.
His ability to dominate bowlers in the power play and construct innings with maturity beyond his years makes him one of the most intriguing young players in Indian cricket.
