Rajasthan Royals' (RR) youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal has always stood up to the challenges on and off the field. Success didn't come easy for the 18-year-old, he had to leave his village in Uttar Pradesh at a young age of 10. 

In Mumbai, the youngster focused on cricket but also worked to support his family. Now, he is among the most talked rising talents in India. Jaiswal made his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut this year against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

In his recent interview with BBC, Yashasvi also shared his lighter side which isn't known to everyone. When asked about his favorite Bollywood movie, Jaiswal named MS Dhoni – The untold story. Jaiswal also named the Hollywood actress he likes the most.

“MS Dhoni film is really nice, it inspires me a lot. My favorite movie is Titanic. Kate Winslet, I love her so much, I just want to meet her someday,” Jaiswal can be heard saying in the podcast.

Apart from the actress, Yashasvi loves the song from Titanic movie too and he called himself a romantic guy. “My heart will go on. I’m a romantic guy that’s why.”

At 17 years and 292 days, Jaiswal became the youngest in the world to score a double hundred in List-A cricket. He agreed to not sleeping the night before and after the feat. 

“Before that night, I didn’t sleep, I was playing all the game in my head and after that night also I didn’t sleep because I played really well.”

Yashasvi called the knock special and recalled his struggle in the early days which makes him value his achievements even more. 

“When I was working at the dairy shop, they were paying me to do work because without work you can’t stay there. Because I was doing hard work on my cricket and I get tired then I didn’t do anything. And he was like if you are not doing anything, you can’t stay here. He just threw my bag out. I was like please let me be here for the night because I don’t know where to go. I was actually alone at the time. That was a really hard moment for me.”

“Next day I didn’t know where to go, so I called Pappu sir, he was my coach, I called him and he said just come to my home. Then I went to his house, sleep there for at least two or three months. However, there was no space so I had to find a new house. So my sir said if I want to live in a tent then I have to score runs in this match. So it was very crucial for me like I had to perform in this match and I did,” he said.
