NEW DELHI: To say that Yashasvi Jaiswal's journey so far has been a fascinating one, would be an understatement.
His many struggles which he dealt with head-on and quintessential rags-to-riches story have been an inspiration for many. Yashasvi was 11 when he left his home in Suriya village in Uttar Pradesh and traveled to Mumbai. Before he met coach Jwala Singh, Yashasvi had to sell pani puri to earn money and lived in tents at Azad Maidan.
On Sunday night, at the jam-packed Wankhede Stadium, the 21-year-old, who is in ominous form, sent the Mumbai Indians bowlers on a leather hunt, smashing them all over the park, and ruining birthday boy captain Rohit Sharma's plans to restrict RR to a small total. Rohit kept changing bowlers, but an adamant Yashasvi had just one goal - see the ball, hit the ball.
