IPL 2021: RR batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal REVEALS how ‘idol’ Sachin Tendulkar helped him improve his game

Rajasthan Royals' Yashasvi Jaiswal said that he was fortunate to have had a chat with legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar before departing to represent Mumbai against Oman in a One-Day series.

Young Rajasthan Royals batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal has expressed his joy of having spoken to and picked the brains of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. Yashasvi said he was "over the moon" upon hearing that he will get to talk to the former Indian batsman before leaving for the Oman tour. The past few weeks have been really happening for one of Royals' youngest performers, with the 19-year-old not just getting selected and helping Mumbai beat Oman in a One-Day series, but also having the chance to have a one-on-one session with his 'idol' Tendulkar. Speaking after joining up with the Royals' squad ahead of the IPL, as he quarantines in his hotel room in Dubai, Yashasvi said, "My idol has always been Sachin Tendulkar, and I was really fortunate to have a conversation with him before the Oman tour. I was glad that Mumbai Cricket Association invited him for a session before we left from Mumbai to play against Oman."
