Yashasvi Jaiswal Siblings: Meet the Siblings Squad Behind the Indian Cricketer

Yashasvi Jaiswal, the Indian international cricketer renowned for his aggressive left-handed batting, has a supportive family that played a crucial role in his rise to fame. Born on December 28, 2001, in Suriyawan, Uttar Pradesh, Yashasvi's father, Bhupendra Kumar Jaiswal, operated a modest hardware shop, while his mother, Kanchan Jaiswal, took care of the household.

At just ten years old, Yashasvi relocated to Mumbai to hone his cricketing skills, initially residing in a dairy shop before eventually staying in a tent near Azad Maidan, often earning his keep by selling panipuri. It was there, under the mentorship of Jwala Singh, that Yashasvi's talent caught the eye of cricket selectors.

Yashasvi is the youngest of four siblings, with an elder brother, Tejasvi, and two elder sisters. Like Yashasvi, Tejasvi also harbored a fervent love for cricket from a young age. In 2012, the siblings migrated together from Uttar Pradesh to Mumbai, settling in the groundsman's tent at Azad Maidan. Due to the family's financial constraints, only Tejasvi could commit full-time to cricket.

He later moved to Delhi to work as a salesman in a decorative lights shop, sending money back home to help Yashasvi pursue his dream. Later, after a significant period of prioritizing family duties, Tejasvi returned to cricket, playing domestic tournaments such as the Ranji Trophy and other leagues, while occasionally contributing to his brothers' careers.

Yashasvi's cricketing journey commenced in school cricket in Mumbai, where he made headlines with an impressive all-round performance of 319 not out and 13 wickets in a Giles Shield match. He quickly ascended through Mumbai’s age-group teams and represented India in the Under-19 category. In the 2019-20 Vijay Hazare Trophy, Yashasvi achieved a remarkable double century off 154 balls against Jharkhand, becoming the youngest player in List A history to accomplish this feat at the age of 17. He made his first-class debut for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy in January 2019.

In 2020, Rajasthan Royals selected Yashasvi for the IPL, and he steadily proved his mettle, scoring 625 runs in the 2023 season, including the fastest IPL half-century (13 balls) and his maiden IPL century. His performances soon earned him a place in the national team. Yashasvi made his Test debut against West Indies in July 2023, scoring an impressive 171 runs in his first innings.

In the 2024 home series against England, he achieved back-to-back double centuries, scoring 209 and 214 not out, making him only the third Indian—following Vinod Kambli and Virat Kohli—to achieve this remarkable feat. He has also scored a Test century on his debut to Australia. Yashasvi debuted in T20Is in 2023 and ODIs in 2025, adding centuries in both formats.

He was an integral part of India's squad that clinched the T20 World Cup in 2024. With his fearless approach and ability to dominate bowling attacks while maintaining the composure needed for lengthy Test innings, Yashasvi has firmly established himself as a dynamic and formidable opening batsman. His accolades are numerous, including being named Player of the Tournament at the 2020 ICC Under-19 World Cup, the Emerging Player of the Season in the IPL in 2023, the Best International Debut (Men) by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and being honored as the Men’s Player of the Month by the ICC for February 2024.

Furthermore, Yashasvi holds various records, such as being the youngest batter to score a List A double century, matching the world record for hitting the most sixes in a Test innings (12), and being among the top run-scorers in a Test series at a tender age. His contributions extend beyond the scorecard, with a gold medal earned by the Indian team at the 2022 Asian Games and a pivotal role in the T20 World Cup-winning squad of 2024.
