India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is currently regarded as one of the most dangerous batsmen in the world. However, his journey to the top has not been without challenges, especially financial struggles. Stories have circulated about him selling pani puri to keep his cricketing dream alive.
In a recent interview with Mashable, Jaiswal opened up about his childhood and addressed the rumors about selling pani puri for the first time. The conversation began when Jaiswal spotted a pani puri stall and humorously asked, “Arey, main hi bana du kya? [Should I go and make it for them?]”
Speaking candidly about his experience, he said, “Yes, it is true, I have sold pani puri outside Azad Maidan. When you live together, it becomes like a family.” He added, “On Sunday evenings, we used to invite people when chicken and meat were cooked. Just like that, the pani puri vendor was called one day, who asked me to go and help him when I was free.”
Jaiswal continued, “I started selling pani puri, and he used to pay me randomly, sometimes more, sometimes less. There were no expectations for me to do a job, but I used to do it since I was free.”
### What’s Next for Yashasvi Jaiswal?
After being snubbed for the ongoing Asia Cup, Jaiswal is currently in Mumbai preparing for the upcoming Test series against the West Indies, starting from October 2. The Caribbean team will face India in two Test matches. The first game will be held in Ahmedabad from October 2 to 6, followed by the second Test in Delhi from October 10 to 14.
As Jaiswal gears up for the Test series, fans eagerly await to see how he continues to build on his impressive cricketing journey.
