NEW DELHI: From a promising batsman to a household name, Yashasvi Jaiswal has travelled that distance in a fairly short period of time.
When the 21-year-old Yashasvi hit Riley Meredith for a boundary to notch up his maiden IPL century recently, apart from the entire Wankhede Stadium crowd and the Rajasthan Royals' dug out, the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, who was sitting in the Mumbai Indians' dugout, also stood and applauded Yashasvi's valiant efforts. Yashasvi removed his helmet, raised his bat, and bowed in front of Sachin and then the Mumbai crowd.
