Yashasvi Jaiswal, one of India's rising cricketers, was spotted in the stands during the crucial SAFF World Championship 2023 match between India and Kuwait at Sree Kanteerava Outdoor Stadium in Bengaluru. Jaiswal, who will be traveling with the Indian Test team to the West Indies soon, is an avid football fan and has previously expressed his wish for football to grow in India.
The games against Nepal and Pakistan were not without controversy. In the game against Pakistan, the Indian team coach Igor Stimac was given a yellow card for interrupting a throw from the Pakistanis. The clash against Nepal saw a fight between the two teams and the referee had to intervene and diffuse the situation.
The match between India and Kuwait resulted in a 1-1 draw. Sunil Chhetri managed to score a goal just before the first 45 minutes ended, but Kuwait roared back just before full time to level the scores.
Jaiswal was recently selected for the Indian Test team to tour the West Indies and revealed that his father was overwhelmed with emotion and started to cry. He said: "My father started crying. I have not yet met my mother [since the announcement], I am going to see her in some time. I am feeling good, I will try to do my best. I am excited but at the same time I just want to go out and express myself." India will start the tour with the two-Test series in Dominica on July 12th.
The SAFF World Championship 2023 match between India and Kuwait was a thrilling encounter and the presence of Yashasvi Jaiswal in the stands added to the enthusiasm. It will be exciting to see Jaiswal perform in the upcoming Test series against West Indies and to witness the growth of football in India.
