In a heartwarming gesture, visually impaired child Ravi, who treasured the chance to meet the Indian batting sensation, received an autographed bat from dashing opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. On the fourth day of the current second Test in Birmingham on Saturday, Ravi, a devoted cricket fan, finally got to meet Jaiswal after watching the Indian team from the Leeds Test against England. Inspired by Ravi's love and enthusiasm for the game, Jaiswal sent the child a signed bat along with the words, "With best wishes to Ravi with care and love."
The occasion was made much more memorable by Ravi's impressive knowledge of cricket and the Indian squad, which he demonstrated despite his vision impairment. In a video that the BCCI shared on their official social media account, Jaiswal informed Ravi.
Yashasvi Jaiswal's Viral Video:
Jaiswal said, “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. 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"
