Jaiswal was born on 28 December 2001 in [[Suriyawan]], [[Bhadohi]], Uttar Pradesh, as the fourth of six children,<ref name=livemint/> to Bhupendra Jaiswal, owner of a small hardware store, and Kanchan Jaiswal, a housewife. At the age of ten, he moved to [[Dadar]], [[Mumbai]], to receive cricket training at [[Azad Maidan]]. As Dadar was far away from the Maidan, he relocated to [[Kalbadevi]] neighbourhood where he was given accommodation in a dairy shop in return for low-grade work. He was eventually ejected by the shopkeeper as he was unable to provide much help at the shop in between his cricket training.
