In response, ten years old Yashasvi told him, “send me to Mumbai, and I will also play like him.” His father did the same and left him at his uncle’s house in Mumbai to get training at Mumbai’s Azad Maidan or Azad Ground.

Later, Jaiswal shifted to a dairy shop because of less space in his uncle’s house. However, he also had to leave that place as the owners were not satisfied with Jaiswal’s work. Then, his uncle requested the owner of the tents built at Azad Maidan to allow him to stay there with the grounds men.
