Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Bhupendra Kumar Jaiswal (born 28 December 2001) is an Indian international cricketer who plays for the Indian cricket team. He made his international debut in the first Test against the West Indies in July 2023, scoring a century in his first innings in Test cricket. Domestically he plays for Mumbai and Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Rajasthan Royals. In 2019, he became the youngest cricketer to score a List A cricket double century, and in the 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, he was the leading run-scorer for India under-19s. Early life
Jaiswal was born on 28 December 2001 in Suriyawan, Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, as the fourth of six children, to Bhupendra Jaiswal, the owner of a small hardware store, and Kanchan Jaiswal, a housewife. At the age of ten, he moved to Mumbai to receive cricket training at Azad Maidan. He was initially given accommodation in a dairy shop in return for work but was evicted by the shopkeeper as he was unable to work frequently. As a result he lived in a tent with the groundsmen at the Maidan, where he sold panipuri to make ends meet. After living in tents for three years, Jaiswal's cricketing potential was spotted in December 2013 by Jwala Singh, who ran a cricket academy in Santacruz. He provided Jaisawal with a place to stay, before becoming his legal guardian and obtaining his power of attorney. Career

Jaiswal was the highest run-scorer (318 runs) and player of the tournament at the 2018 Under-19 Asia Cup which India won.
