Diet behind Yashasvi Jaiswal’s rise, father reveals India star’s favorite dish. cricket news

The rise of your opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal is no less than a spectacle. Only 7 matches old in his Test career, Jaiswal scored his second double century as India defeated England in the 3rd Test of the 5-match series in Rajkot. This young batsman has almost confirmed his place in the Test team and is an important member of the team in ODIs and T20s as well. His father could not have been happier to see the young boy hoisting the flag for the Indian team. But, what is the secret of Jaiswal’s success?

in conversation with India Today, Jaiswal’s father Bhupendra shared a list of dishes that his son loves. Mutton tops the list.

Jaiswal’s father said, “He loves mutton and he likes rice, dal, bread and curry.”

Yashasvi has a long range of shots that he can play, but one shot that his father especially likes to watch is the sweep shot.

“He plays the sweep shot beautifully and works very hard at it,” his father said.

In the match against England in Rajkot, Jaiswal hit a ‘record-equalling’ 12 sixes in the second innings. In the process, he equaled Wasim Akram’s record for most sixes hit in a Test innings.

Jaiswal has hit a total of 20 sixes in the series so far, a feat that no player in the world has been able to achieve. But, Jaiswal’s father wants his son to make more records.

Jaiswal’s father stressed, “I want him to make his own records and not focus on the records made by others.”

The youngster will be keen to add to his exemplary run-scoring form in the remaining two matches of the series. The fourth Test is scheduled to start from 23 February.
