During Day 4 of the second Test between India and England, Yashasvi Jaiswal gifted a signed bat to a visually-impaired fan named Ravi.
On Day 4 of the second Test between India and England, Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal shared a heartwarming moment with a young fan named Ravi. Visually impaired Ravi had long dreamed of meeting Jaiswal. That dream came true at Edgbaston.
Jaiswal met the young fan and presented him with a personally autographed bat carrying a warm message.
“Hello Ravi, how are you? I am Yashasvi, nice to meet you. I was really excited to meet you because I know that you have been a big fan of cricket, and actually I don’t know why I am nervous to meet you,” Jaiswal was heard saying in a video posted by BCCI on their official social media handle.
“I have a gift for you…my bat. I would like you to keep it just as my memory. It’s amazing to see you and meet you, very lovely to be here with you,” he added.
In reply, Ravi praised Jaiswal for his recent performances and said he enjoys watching the left-hander bat. He also described Jaiswal as one of India’s brightest young talents.
“Lovely to meet you, too. Thanks so much! I can’t wait to have your bat because you are a brilliant cricketer… I think you are the future of Indian cricket. I love cricket, I love watching you bat. I loved your centuries, they were brilliant. On your day, you can score big centuries,” the child said.
