Jaiswal Opened Up About The Incident

Jaiswal finally opened up about the incident and claimed that there was nothing big that he said, but these things happen on the field. He further admitted that he is aggressive mentally and won’t listen if someone says anything about his sister or mother.

“Aggression is important and I am aggressive mentally. Sometimes that comes out I guess. But I hadn’t said anything big at the time but it’s ok, things happen. What is the use of talking about it then, I don’t want to say anything. I would rather keep it with me, and absorb it like a sponge. When I need to squeeze it, I will” told Yashasvi Jaiswal to Lallantop.

“Who says that it happens to everyone. No one really comes to know about it. It depends upon who is saying what. Bhai mereko koi mere maa behen ke baare me bolega, thodi sununga (If someone says things about my mother or my sister, I won’t tolerate it),” he added.
