Yashvi’s father said that he might have celebrated his son’s achievement wholeheartedly if the Men in Blue would have lifted the title.
Further, Bhupendra also wished that his son continues giving his best to the nation.
“He played well, but I would have been happier if India had won the World Cup. I hope he plays well in the future & brings laurels to the nation,” Bhupendra Jaiswal said to ANI.
In the nail-biting clash, Yashasvi was not only the highest scorer for the team but he also picked a crucial wicket of the set batsman Parvez Hossain Emon. He was also prolific as a fielder.
However, his all-round contribution could not help India to defend a revised target of 170 runs (DLS Method).

The skipper remained unbeaten to register glory for his side.
