Sensational List A debut

Manuja Veerappa, Oct 17, 2019: The Times of India

At17,YashasviJaiswal has learnt more life’s lessons than most youngsters his age. He knows what it is to go hungry or not to have a proper roof over his head. The hard days of playing maidan cricket in Mumbai after moving from in Bhadohi in Uttar Pradesh, and the cold nights spent sleeping in cramped tents and selling paanipuris have toughened him. Not one to brood over the things he didn’t have, the teenager has worked on what he can achieve with the talent he has been endowed with. While his skills with the bat has been on display in local leagues for a while now, he shot into limelight last year during the U-19 Asia Cup. Since then, he has taken giant strides.

Playing only his fifth List A match on Wednesday, the youngster struck an awe-inspiring, unconquered double hundred (203 n.o., 154b, 17x4, 12x6) in Mumbai’s win over Jharkhand in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. In the process, he became the youngest male cricketer to score a double century and the third after Karan Kaushal (Uttarakhand in 2018-19) and Sanju Samson (Kerala) to achieve the feat in the tournament. This was his third three-figure mark in the tournament. He had earlier scored 113 (Goa) and 112 (Kerala).

Speaking after Mumbai’s 39-run win, which kept their quarterfinal hopes alive, Jaiswal said: “(The innings) felt good. I didn’t think much and just played the ball on its merit and it (double century) happened.

Jaiswal, who played with an injured wrist, was so focused on his innings that he didn’t realise he was the youngest double centurion till it was brought to his notice. He credits his early struggle for his maturity now. “The early struggle made me mentally strong. I am confident of doing well in whatever situation I’m in now. The struggle is there even now and will always be there. Back then, I enjoyed playing cricket much like I am doing now,” said the soft-spoken youngster.
