“It is a dream come true for me. Really happy with what I did for my country, I can’t express it in words. I’ll never forget that I scored a hundred in the World Cup against Pakistan,” the ‘Player of the Match’ Jaiswal said after receiving his award.
“It is just the start though, I have to work really hard in the future as well,” he added. The youngster is also the current leading run-getter of the tournament.
Coming from a very humble background, Jaiswal has in the past sold panipuri, worked at a milk dairy, among other part-time jobs to survive after he shifted to Mumbai for his training. And now, his efforts have paid off.
