Chandrapal said, “Yash started living alone due to despair and his mother Radha became so upset that she fell ill. She refused to eat food. Gujarat Titans also released him and he was faced with the challenge of making a career again. During this time Yash also fell ill, but we never let him give up. We took a pledge as a family and told Yash, 'Until you (Yash) play for India, we will stand firm. You must not give up and keep playing for India.'”
He proudly said, “I and my family will keep motivating him so that he never gives up. And today everything is in front of you.”
Chandrapal cited the example of Stuart Broad and said that the England bowler was successful in taking 600 Test wickets after conceding six sixes in an over. He said, “We explained to Yash that this is not the first time this has happened and it will not be the last time either. Yuvraj Singh hit six sixes on Stuart Broad and Broad emerged as one of the greatest gauge bowlers of all time.”
