I see Yashasvi Jaiswal is now shining even at the senior domestic level. Astonishing rise through sheer hard work of a youngster who has already seen a lot and made many sacrifices to pursue his dream.

Another World Record!!!
Yashasvi Jaiswal's 504 runs are the most by ANY batsman in his first five List A innings. Previous record was held by South African legend Graeme Pollock with 493 runs. #VijayHazare #VijayHazareTrophy

Generally people bless others with "Yashasvi Bhavo". However, the 17 years old #YashasviJaiswal from @MumbaiCricAssoc took this seriously and scored a brilliant 203 runs off 154 balls inclusive of 12 6s against #Jharkhand in #VijayHazareTrophy . @mohanstatsman is this a record?

Double hundred for Yashasvi Jaiswal, 200* from 149 balls against Jharkhand.
