‘Two brothers and both are destruction’, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s elder brother also scored a stormy half century
Saturday brought an interesting surprise for the cricket fans of India. A young player who came to bat at number three for Tripura in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy caught everyone’s attention. At first glance, it seemed as if Team India’s rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal had suddenly left the ODI camp and taken part in the domestic tournament. But it was not the popular Rajasthan Royals player, but his elder brother Tejashwi Jaiswal Who surprised the audience with his brilliant batting.
In the match against Uttarakhand in Ahmedabad, Tejashwi came to the crease at the score of 60/1 and scored a strong 51 runs in 37 balls. In this innings, he showed aggressive style like his younger brother by hitting four sixes and one four. Although his innings was the best for Tripura, yet his team could only score a total of 163/6.
In reply, Uttarakhand won the match on the last ball. For Uttarakhand, captain Kunal Chandela’s innings of 51 runs in 37 balls and then Jagdish Intuit’s explosive batting of 21 runs in just seven balls helped his team win the match.
Let us tell you that the story of Tejashwi and Yashasvi is considered to be one of the most inspirational stories in the cricket world. Both the brothers had reached Mumbai with the same dream and that dream was to make a name for themselves in Indian cricket. But the financial condition of the family was not strong enough for both of them to continue playing together. In such a situation, elder brother Tejashwi put his dreams on hold and took up a job in Delhi and continued to provide financial help to Yashasvi to further his cricket career.
With time, Yashasvi started shining on the domestic and international stage and secured his place in all formats of India. Now that the family situation has improved, Tejashwi has started living his unfulfilled dream again and is trying to prove himself by playing for Tripura.
