Today, he will be declared the winner of the competition between the youth and the experience in the field of cricket and politics. In the IPL, where four-time champions Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals will play for the first time finals. At the same time, there is a contest for the chair between Nitish Kumar and young Tejashwi Yadav, who has been at the peak of power for 15 years in Bihar elections.
Talk about Tejashwi Yadav, the chief ministerial candidate of the Grand Alliance and the president of RJD, they have connections with both the areas. 31-year-old Tejashwi, who is making his foray into politics, has tried his luck in the cricket field before. He decided to pursue a career in cricket before entering the political arena and carrying on his father's political legacy. It is also a coincidence that the team that was once part of Tejashwi's IPL, like Tejashwi, will also insist on becoming the winner for the first time.
Leaving his father's political legacy in Bihar, Tejashwi started his schooling in Delhi, though he was able to study only up to ninth grade and made a move towards cricket. He then became a part of the under-15 team, then played for the under-19 team from Jharkhand, and during this time he joined Delhi Daredevils (today's Delhi Capitals) for the IPL. The stunning four were part of the Delhi Daredevils four seasons until 2008-12, although they never got a chance in the team's playing eleven. Apart from batting in the middle order, he also bowled.
In 2010, Tejashwi stepped into the political arena and campaigned for her father in the Bihar elections. During this time, his father and the then Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav said in Parliament that his son did not get a chance to play in the IPL and gave water to other players in the ground.
Tejashwi played a few matches in domestic cricket in the field of cricket but could not perform effectively. He went on to play against Vidarbha in Ranji Trophy Plate League in Ranchi in 2009 for the Jharkhand team. Then he made just 1 in the first innings of his debut match and 19 runs in the second innings. While bowling, he gave 17 runs in 5 overs without any wickets in the first innings.
Apart from this, Tejashwi played two List-A matches (domestic ODIs) and four T20 matches in Vijay Hazare Trophy. In this tournament also he could not do any special performance. He scored just 9 runs against Odisha in the first match. After this, he scored five runs and one wicket against Tripura in the second match. After this, he also got an opportunity in the Saeed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament, in which he played a match. In this, he scored just three runs and could not take a single wicket.
Tejashwi Yadav, considered a strong contender for the post of Chief Minister this time in the Bihar elections, scored a high score of 19 in first class, 9 in List A, and 3 in T20 in a cricket career and took just one wicket in bowling.
