Who is Yashasvi Jaiswal? Know About His Family, Girlfriend, Career, Stats and More

Yashasvi Jaiswal has been one of the finest upcoming talents for India. The flamboyant left-handed opener has cemented his place in India’s test side. He has been the side’s best performer in recent years, in the red-ball format. But his journey was not a smooth one, from living in tents at Azad Maidan to becoming one of the sensations for India, it has been a heartwarming story.

He caught the eye during the U-19 World Cup 2020. The Southpaw was the highest run scorer of the major competition, he scored 400 runs and was also adjudged as the Player of the Series. However, he was unlucky not to win the silverware. He became the world’s youngest player to score a List A Double Century in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2019-20 season. He made 203 runs off 154 balls. 

Before that, in 2015, Jaiswal showed a testament to his future success by scripting a new milestone of hitting 319 runs in school cricket, which was documented in the Limca Book of Records. Eventually, he announced himself in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2023. In this season he scored 625 runs and was the highest run-getter for his franchise Rajasthan Royals. Since then he has never turned back. 

Jaiswal became the fastest to reach 1000 runs in the longest format of the game. He looked fantastic in the home series against England where he scored nearly 700 runs in the series. Then he was also the highest run-getter for India in the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, where he scored 391 runs for the Men in Blue. He will look to add some more runs to his tally and be an all-format player for India in the future.

Yashasvi Jaiswal Family

He comes from a very needy family, his father Bhupendra Jaiswal is the owner of a small hardware store, and Kanchan Jaiswal is a housewife. He has an elder brother, Tejasvi Jaiswal and two elder sisters. His mother was instrumental in shaping Yashasvi’s career as a cricketer. His father had financially supported Yashasvi in achieving his dream of becoming a cricketer, and Yashasvi often acknowledges his father’s efforts.

At the age of 10, he left his village and came to Mumbai to play cricket. He started his career at Azad Maidan. Jaiswal was initially offered accommodation in a dairy business in exchange for work. However, he was eventually kicked out by the shopkeeper because he could not work regularly due to his practice schedule. As a result, he slept in a tent with the groundsmen at the Maidan and sold panipuri for some income.

Then he was noticed by Jwala Singh, at the age of 12. He offered Jaiswal a place to reside before becoming his legal guardian and getting his power of attorney. From here his cricketing journey started shaping up under Jwala Singh.
