Yashasvi Jaiswal Biography
Early Life and Background
Yashasvi Jaiswal was born on December 28, 2001, in Suriyawan, Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, India. He was the youngest of four children born to Bhupendra Jaiswal, a small hardware store owner, and Kanchan Jaiswal, a housewife. Growing up in a modest family, Yashasvi’s early life was marked by struggle and determination. At the age of ten, he moved to Mumbai to pursue his cricketing dreams, initially staying in a dairy shop in exchange for work. However, his rigorous training schedule led to him being evicted, and he was forced to live in a tent with groundsmen at Azad Maidan. To make ends meet, he sold panipuri, showcasing his resilience and dedication to the sport. His potential was soon spotted by Jwala Singh, who ran a cricket academy, and he provided Yashasvi with a place to stay and became his legal guardian.

His breakthrough on the international stage came in 2018 when he scored 318 runs in the Under-19 Asia Cup, earning the Player of the Tournament award.
