00:00I heard someone was feeding him school cricket or club cricket.
00:04His father came to me and he started crying.
00:07Get him massaged, cook good food, he will cook food.
00:11And you just become his God and teach him cricket. We don't want anything.
00:15I have never seen him from the eyes of any other child.
00:19If I had seen him, maybe he wouldn't have become Shashvi Jaiswal.
00:30I asked him what his problem was.
00:40He said, sir, nobody lets me play in Mumbai.
00:43I have a lot of problems and I don't know what to do.
00:47He was a small boy.
00:48I asked him why he didn't let me play.
00:50He said, sir, they will ban you.
00:53If you go to play, they will hand you over to the police.
00:58I laughed a little.
01:00I said, why will they hand me over to the police?
01:02There were some people in Mumbai at that time
01:06who made a fake birth certificate and deposited it.
01:13There was a 112 tournament.
01:16To feed him, they made a fake Mumbai document and deposited it.
01:21And that certificate went viral.
01:24It's fake.
01:25Nobody was letting him play.
01:27If you want to play any tournament, you should have a birth certificate.
01:32He didn't have it.
01:33Because his parents were not here.
01:35There was a coach who wanted to feed him.
01:37So he made a fake birth certificate and fed him.
01:42He didn't know.
01:43It was not Shashvi's fault.
01:45And whoever did it, he put his hands up and walked away.
01:48Where is he now?
01:50I really don't know.
01:52Now his entire career was over.
01:55Nobody was letting him play school cricket.
01:57Nobody was letting him play club cricket.
01:59He was just practicing.
02:00He was 12 years old.
02:01Yes, 12 years old.
02:02Mentally, he was finished.
02:05He was just a kid.
02:06Yes.
02:07He didn't have a place to live.
02:08He didn't have money to eat.
02:10He didn't have a parent's background.
02:11He didn't have a coach.
02:12You bring the turning point of his life.
02:14Tell us that.
02:15I called some people in Mumbai cricket.
02:17All my influential people.
02:19Everyone said, Jwala bhai, where are you taking him?
02:22That boy is over age.
02:23Over age?
02:24Yes, he will be banned.
02:25Your hard work will be wasted.
02:27So I took him to the coach.
02:29I said, look, this is the boy.
02:30He said, Jwala bhai, is this the boy?
02:32He is very small.
02:33People say he is very big.
02:35He used to tell wrong things about me.
02:37It was a tournament called Guile Shield.
02:39So I said, go play.
02:41He said, sir, I won't play.
02:43Why?
02:44The same thing.
02:45He said, people will ban me.
02:46And at that time, someone was on the ground.
02:49He said, don't play.
02:50Play next year.
02:51By then, your case will be closed.
02:53So I said, what is your case?
02:55It will be closed.
02:56So I understood the case.
02:58I said, you go and play.
03:00And I am there.
03:01Whatever happens, is in my hands.
03:03If you trust me, then go.
03:05If you don't trust me, then pick up your bag and go home.
03:07This is the word I said to him.
03:09So out of fear, out of my fear, he went.
03:11I will play.
03:12Yes, you will play.
03:13Because he thought that he will get it with great difficulty.
03:15Now he shouldn't go either.
03:16Now he shouldn't go either.
03:17So he came to me after playing the match in the evening.
03:19So I said, what happened?
03:21Did the police come?
03:22Did someone come to you?
03:23Did someone beat you?
03:24Did someone throw you out?
03:25He said, no, sir.
03:26I said, why are you so scared?
03:27Now go and do something good.
03:29Now I am with you.
03:30Whatever happens, I will see.
03:32And you have to trust me.
03:34And you have to play.
03:36Then he went to the next match.
03:37And he ran 319.
03:39Wow.
03:40And not 13 wickets.
03:41So his father came to me.
03:42And he started crying.
03:44Now you have met him.
03:45God has heard us.
03:46Now after today, he is your son.
03:49You get him to do whatever work you want him to do at home.
03:52Get him to sweep, get him to do the laundry.
03:54Get him to do the dishes.
03:55Make him a servant.
03:56This is his wording.
03:57Yes, exactly.
03:58Get him to massage.
04:00Make him cook good food.
04:01He will cook food too.
04:02And you just become his God and teach him cricket.
04:05We don't want anything.
04:06Wow.
04:07So on that trust and that faith, I took that child in my hands.
04:11I became his guardian.
04:12Then I guided him.
04:13So in this way, he came out of that big racket that he was stuck in.
04:18And he started playing.
04:20So this is his beginning.
04:21I have never seen him from the eyes of any other child.
04:25If I had seen him, maybe he wouldn't have become Shashvi Jaiswal.
