Jaiswal, originally hailing from Uttar Pradesh, moved to Mumbai when he was just a child to receive proper coaching at the Maidan. He used to make ends meet by selling panipuris and staying in tents. All of this changed when a coach identified his talent and took him under his wing. Bhupendra added that he and his family received congratulations for Yashasvi after he scored a hundred on debut.
The left-hander was India’s best batter in the contest and was awarded the Man of the Match award as well for his spectacular knock. Riding on his 171, India declared their first innings effort at 421/5 in response to West Indies’ meagre 150 before Ravichandran Ashwin once again wrecked the hosts batting order with a seven-wicket haul in the second innings. India went on to win the match by a whopping margin of an innings and 141 runs.
