New Delhi, Jul 14 (PTI) Playing a single shot 300 times a day in an isolated facility in Talegaon, working with a baseball coach to perfect the power game and painful blisters on his palms after continuous hours of range-hitting: all this and more went into the making of Yashasvi Jaiswal as the next big thing in Indian cricket.

It was Rajasthan Royals’ High Performance Director and former Mumbai batter Zubin Bharucha, who played a significant role in his rise after he spotted him the during the IPL trials.

It did not take Bharucha long to realise that he had special talent before him. Just one shot played by Jaiswal was enough to catch Bharucha’s attention.

“He had come from U-19 India but IPL is a very different level. He came for the trial and I don’t remember who the bowler was but he walked across stumps and played a flick behind the square, first ball,” Bharucha told
