Zeeshan is born in Lucknow. He is currently 25 years old and has played for the under-19 teams of Uttar Pradesh and India. He is of Team India's star wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant's batch.

Only then did he come into the headlines. According to the Times of India report, veteran leg -spinners like Shane Warne, Anil Kumble and Piyush Chawla are the source of inspiration of Zeeshan Ansari. Zeeshan has claimed that he studied the bowling of all these veterans deeply.

This is the journey

However, this journey has not been so easy for Zeeshan. His childhood has passed in poverty. His father is a tailor and works for sewing a cloth in Lucknow. It was difficult to run a family in their earnings. He was unable to pay a fee of 300 rupees for the Academy of Zeeshan.

Not only this, they did not have the money to buy shoes and kits required to play. But Zeeshan's uncle, his father's friend and coach helped him in view of his talent and bought it and bought it.

Then he could move forward in the game. Zeeshan's father says that ten years ago, when he used to send Zeeshan to academy to play cricket, he used to get taunts from relatives. He used to say that you are dreaming a bigger than a position. However, Zeeshan's father, seeing his hard work, left him to make his future himself. According to Zeeshan, he used to practice in the morning and evening on the ground for ten hours.

Whenever there was a big match, I used to throw 40 to 50 overs.
