NEW DELHI: Jaiswal's brothers are grabbing headlines with their performances on the field, and while many know Yashasvi Jaiswal as an already established name, fans are now wondering: who is the other Jaiswal suddenly making waves?
Yashasvi brought up his maiden ODI hundred against South Africa in the series decider in Vizag on Saturday, guiding India to a series-clinching nine-wicket victory.
Yashasvi's elder brother, Tejasvi Jaiswal - a name largely unfamiliar to fans - has also begun making his mark on the big stage, impressing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy while representing Tripura.
The left-handed batter showcased his skills with a brilliant 37-ball 51, studded with four sixes and a boundary. His innings propelled Tripura to 163/6 and finished as the team's top score.
However, Tejasvi's effort ultimately fell short as Uttarakhand skipper Kunal Chandela responded with an identical 37-ball 51, and Jagadeesha Suchith's explosive 21 off just seven balls sealed a dramatic last-ball, four-wicket win for Uttarakhand.
Tejasvi's comeback to competitive cricket carries a meaning far deeper than the numbers on a scorecard. Years ago, the Jaiswal brothers left Uttar Pradesh for Mumbai with a single, shared dream - to make it as professional cricketers. But when the struggle for survival grew tougher and money ran out, one of them had to put that dream on hold.
Tejasvi was the one who stepped back. He moved to Delhi for work, sending money home so his younger brother could continue chasing the path they had once envisioned together - a path that eventually turned Yashasvi into an all-format India international.
Now, with the family secure and life far more settled, Tejasvi has returned to the game he once sacrificed - this time to pursue a dream that finally belongs to him again.
