The story of Yashasvi Jaiswal from living in tents to buying an expensive, Rs 5 crore apartment in Mumbai is truly inspirational.
At the age of only 13, Jaiswal left his home in Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, and came to Mumbai to pursue his dream of playing cricket and becoming a professional cricket. After years of hardships, which included hiim sleeping in tents outside the maidans in Mumbai, the youngster was picked by the Mumbai domestic team and under-19 team where he led India to the final in 2020. He soon made a mark in the IPL for the Rajasthan Royals and last year made his India debut.
A journey that has been simply astonishing now has a new glorious stop-gap as the 22-year-old has reportedly purchased a flat in Mumbai for Rs 5.38 crore in the Ten BKC project at Bandra East, as reported by the website Moneycontrol. The buy deal is valued at over Rs 48,000 per square foot. Adani Realty is the project’s builder.
The report added, “The apartment has a size of 1,110 square feet, and the deal for this under-construction flat was registered on January 7th, 2024 by Jaiswal, it is learnt.”
In India, when grow up, you work really hard for each and everything: Yashasvi Jaiswal
In only 7 Tests, Yashasvi Jaiswal has cracked three triple-figure scores, each bigger than the previous one: 171 on debut against West Indies last year, 209 and 214 against England recently.
The youngster said his hunger for big runs comes from having toiled hard on and off the pitch in the last decade.
“In India, when grow up, you work really hard for each and everything” he said in Rajkot, “Even when getting the bus you have to work really hard to get the bus. You have to work really hard to get to the train and auto[rickshaw] and everything and I have done that since my childhood and I know how important every innings is and that’s why I really work hard in my [practice] sessions and every innings counts for me and for my team that is my biggest motivation to play for my country and I just make sure that whenever I’m there I need to give my 100% and then enjoy.”
Even though Jaiswal did not win the Man of the Match awards in his last two Tests despite the double centuries – Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja bagged those – the left-hander is in line to win the Man of the Series award having scored 545 runs so far; no other batsman has even 300 runs in the series.
