[WATCH] ENG vs IND 2025: Yashasvi Jaiswal gifts bat to visually-impaired fan in touching gesture

Ravi, a passionate cricket fan and visually-impaired child, has been closely following the Indian team since the Leeds Test against England, with the dream of meeting Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. That dream finally came true on Day 4 of the ongoing second Test between England and India on Saturday.

In a heartwarming gesture, Jaiswal gifted an autographed bat to Ravi. The left-hander was touched by Ravi’s unwavering love for the game and his admiration for him, presenting the bat with a special message, ‘With best wishes to Ravi, with care and love’.

Despite his visual impairment, Ravi impressed Jaiswal with his remarkable knowledge of cricket and the Indian team, making the moment even more special.

“Hello Ravi, how are you? I am Yashasvi, nice to meet you. I was really excited to meet you because I know that you have been a big fan of cricket, and actually I don’t know why I am nervous to meet you,” Jaiswal told Ravi in a video posted by BCCI on their official social media handle.

“I have a gift for you…my bat. I would like you to keep it just as my memory. It’s amazing to see you and meet you, very lovely to be here with you,” he added.
