As India prepares for the highly anticipated Test series against Australia, also known as the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), one young cricketer is making headlines, which is Yashasvi Jaiswal. The talented opening batter recently shared a glimpse into his mindset and journey through a video named Being Yashavi posted by the BCCI on social media. In the video, there’s a tattoo, which has been shown, as the young batter has inked the dates on his skin.
Tattoos as symbols of belief and trust
Jaiswal’s tattoos are more than just body art, they serve as powerful reminders of key moments in his cricketing career. On his right arm, the word “trust” marks his first Player of the Match award for Rajasthan Royals on May 7, 2022, when he scored 68 runs against Mumbai Indians.
On his left arm, he has the word “believe,” which commemorates his remarkable 203-run innings against Jharkhand on October 16, 2019. That innings was a turning point for him, giving him the confidence to believe in his abilities. For Jaiswal, these tattoos are constant reminders of his journey and the belief he has in himself. He also has tattoos marking milestones like his IPL and Ranji Trophy debuts, showing the hard work and perseverance that have defined his career so far.
A personal journey and a message of perseverance
Jaiswal’s tattoos hold deep personal meaning, especially considering the hardships he faced in his early life. The young batter grew up in difficult circumstances, and these tattoos remind him of how far he has come and the importance of never giving up on his dreams. They serve as a source of strength, helping him stay focused and trust his abilities, especially during challenging moments on the field.
Excitement for the Australia Series
As Jaiswal looks forward to the upcoming Test series in Australia, he expresses excitement and determination. “I want to play well, do well. Everything is different, wicket is different, but we know the wickets, we are mentally prepared,” he says. “I really wanna be, I wanna go, see, and be there. People talk about stuff, they talk about things, but I wanna go and face it. I wanna enjoy the moment with a smile. It’s always an opportunity for me to go and learn.”he adds, showing his eagerness to grow and enjoy the experience.
