YashasviJaiswal shares more about his journey in a podcast.

In a recent podcast with Raj Shamani, YashasviJaiswal opened up about his early struggles, including the days he sold panipuris and lived in tents while chasing his cricket dream in Mumbai. Speaking about his personal struggles, he shared, “I used to stay with my uncle for a while. One day, I got a chance to stay in the tent. There was a club called Muslim United, and I had to participate in a game I wanted to excel at, and I did well. Then they offered me to stay there,” he said, adding, “I just wanted to be around a cricket environment and work on my game.” Talking about selling panipuris and working for the club for accommodation, he said, “People there became my family, and if something is cooking for them, I help them. If they called me to help them after practice, I used to accompany them to earn some money.” He said in Figuring Out With Raj Shamani, “That was my life back then. And, it’s okay because no work is big or small. All that matters is that you put your 100 per cent in whatever you are doing.”

Yashasvi further spoke about managing his aggression.

The cricketer further reflected on his life-changing moments and how he managed his aggression. He said, “I speak to myself for 10-15 minutes, and it helps me a lot. Whenever I perform good, I don’t miss a chance to applaud myself and prepare to proceed further. I have aggression, but at that time, I consider what’s important for my team. I don’t want to get lost in my aggression.” He added, “Aggression is very important for me, but you shouldn’t show it. There is a slight difference between confidence and overconfidence.”
