Yashasvi Jaiswal was born in the Uttar Pradeshi village of Bhadohi. However, at the age of eleven, he left his birthplace to follow his greatest ambition of becoming a cricket player.
After returning from cricket practise, the young cricket player used to sell Paani Puri on the streets of Mumbai to make ends meet.
Yashasvi scored 318 runs in four games during the 2018 Youth Asia Cup, but an intriguing fact about the event was that no player was able to score more than 200 runs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal was acquired by Rajasthan Royals for 2.40 crore, which was 12 times his asking price.
On May 11, 2023, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored the fastest IPL half-century in just 13 balls against the Kolkata Knight Riders, breaking the previous record that was shared by Pat Cummins and KL Rahul.
