Old Video of Yashasvi Jaiswal explaining his early-life struggles goes viral on social media

Rajasthan Royals' opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal created history in the ongoing IPL 2023. In the game against Kolkata Knight Riders, he scored the fastest fifty in the history of the league, i.e, in 13 balls. In the first over of the second innings, Jaiswal hit two sixes and three fours to get going. The left-hander went on to hit a six and a few more fours to reach the landmark inside the powerplay.

Meanwhile, the journey of the former India U19 player hasn't been easy. He used to sell paani puris to make a living. Also, the infamous Mumbai rains made his life difficult as explained by the Mumbaikar in the video below. In the video, he is having a conversation with former India cricketer, Aakash Chopra.

“I always have it in my heart to go out and do well. That's how I think. Nice feeling that we have won. It's not like everything happened right but I try my best and. Process is very important, how I prepare and what I'm telling myself is as well. The shot with which I won is what's most pleasing because I'm learning to play till the end and win it for the team. That's my motto. I'm blessed, grateful and trying my best. I just wanted to make the NRR higher and not thinking about hundred. It happens, no one does it purposely. Sanju bhai said don't worry, keep going. Blessed to play with all the great players, IPL is a great platform for youngsters and play with greats, POTM, Jaiswal said in the post-match.
