Sick of the emotional narrative, childhood coach Jwala Singh said on Monday that Yashasvi Jaiswal is not the cricketer he has become because he once "sold panipuris" at Azad Maidan but for his sheer hard work that has pushed him to national reckoning. Jaiswal, who smashed an exquisite 62-ball-124 against Mumbai Indians on Sunday, is all but certain to make it to the Indian squad for the five-match T20I series in West Indies and the USA in late June-early July.
However, despite his power-packed performances in the past couple of seasons, always the first thing that is viral on social media is the story that he had to sell panipuris to earn a living in Mumbai. His coach Jwala gets very annoyed when this particular story gets precedence over his cricketing achievements.
