He comes from a very humble background and went through so much of struggle to achieve his dreams.

With no roof on his head, hand full on cricket kit, eyes filled with ambition, and spirit to conquer the world, he landed into the tent in a local garden named Azad Maidan.

Only the roof was changed for this boy ,this fierce batsman but neither his goal nor his attitude was changed. He sold panipuri alongside the groundsmen to survive in his spare time.

When his mother asked him to come back to his town he refused by saying that , “he will only be back when he become a cricketer”, and he also stated that “he will live in ground which will help him to wake up in the ground and in morning, cricket will be in front of him” which show his perseverance toward the cricket. But for Yashasvi on one side there was Arabian Sea and on another side there were hundreds of aspiring cricketers in Azad Maidan. He had to standout in that sea like as a Whale.

But there is a saying that ‘A baby shark is still a shark’ and soon his potential got noticed by Jwala Singh in Azad maidan. Singh not only trained him but also provided him food and shelter .
