Video: Jayant Yadav sends out an emotional message to his second mother! 1

The fifth and final ODI between India and New Zealand started on a beautiful note as the Indian players wore jerseys with their mothers’ names while taking the field. This initiative – Nayi Soch – is part of a new campaign started by Star India in collaboration with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to highlight the importance of mothers in our lives.

Well, the match was a little bit more special for a player who was making his debut in Vizag- 26-year old spinner Jayant Yadav. While he had a quiet debut as fellow spinner Amit Mishra stole the show with a five-wicket haul to help India bag the five-match series 3-2, Yadav’s message after the conclusion of the match is bound to make everyone emotional.

Just like his teammates, Yadav too sported the name of his biological mother, Lakshmi on his jersey. However, unfortunately, she is dead now and Yadav wanted to sport the name of his second mother – Jyoti Yadav too. But due to some mix-ups, it did not happen.

BCCI treasurer Anirudh Chaudhary informed everyone about Yadav’s intention through a tweet.

And after the match, Jayant made it sure to clear the mix up by saying:“My mom Lakshmi, she is no more. But I want to give a message to my Jyoti sitting at home. She must be really anxious right now and mom I am really sorry the name- I don’t know what happened, some mix-up. But don’t worry you are always here.
