Before the three-match series against New Zealand set to begin from October 16, Indian captain Rohit Sharma praised Yashasvi Jaiswal for his wonderful performance in Test cricket.
Yashasvi made his debut in Test in mid-2023. After his Test debut against West Indies, Jaiswal created several records during the England series. He scored more than 700 runs in five Tests.
“I am not surprised at all because the guy has got real talent. He has got the game to play in all sorts of conditions. Obviously, very new to international cricket right now, so, very hard to judge. But he has got all the ingredients for success at this level,” Rohit said in the pre-match press.
Rohit further stated that Jaiswal is someone who always wants to learn the game. He also added that Jaiswal secured his spot in the Indian Test team with impressive performances, but is not happy with his achievement.
“He is somebody who wants to learn the game, learn about batsmanship. When a youngster comes into the team, his mindset is quite critical.”
“He always wants to improve, and is not happy with what he has achieved and which is obviously a great start to a young career. We found a great player. Hopefully, he can continue to do what he has done in the last year or so,” Rohit added.
Jaiswal will now appear in the first Test match against New Zealand, set to begin from October 16 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
