For Vishal Jayswal, Friday evening in Bengaluru will stay with him for a very long time. The Gujarat left-arm spinner not only produced the best spell of his List-A career against a star-studded Delhi side but also picked up the biggest wicket any domestic cricketer can dream of. The dismissal of Virat Kohli. What followed after the match, though, mattered even more for the budding cricketer, who has been guided by Axar Patel behind the scenes.
The 27-year-old left-arm spinner was the standout performer in Gujarat’s narrow seven-run defeat to Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. His spell of 4 for 42 not only kept Delhi to a manageable 254, but also included the prized wicket of Kohli, who had looked in ominous touch after racing to his fifty in 29 balls.

The ball dipped, spun past the bat, and wicketkeeper Urvil Patel whipped off the bails in one motion. Kohli walked back for a fluent 77, and Jayswal was obviously cock-a-hoop. But what followed after the match is what Jayswal will remember for long.
“Achha ball daalta hai”: Kohli’s message to Jayswal
Long after players had returned to their dressing rooms, Jayswal requested the match ball from the umpire and nervously walked towards the Delhi camp. Spotting Kohli, he hesitated. Kohli noticed him, smiled, and waved him in. In a chat with the Times of India, Jayswal revealed his interaction with Kohli and cricketing journey.
“Aaja, aaja (come here),” Kohli said. Jayswal pulled the ball from his pocket. “Bhaiya, ball pe ek autograph chahiye.” Kohli put his kit aside, made him sit down, and signed the ball. Then came the words that truly mattered.
“Achha ball daalta hai. Hard work karta rah. Opportunity aayega. Wait kar and mehnat kar.” (You bowl really well. Keep working hard. Your opportunity will come. Be patient and keep putting in the effort.)
