Yashasvi Jaiswal, a youthful opener, claimed that such experiences will make him a stronger, all-weather player in the future. On Thursday, he controlled his natural flair to hit a resolute 56 against Bangladesh in seaming conditions here.
Following their reduction to 34 for three within the first 10 overs of the inaugural Test, India managed to avoid a catastrophic collapse because to Jaiswal’s half-century and his 62-run partnership with fellow left-hander Rishabh Pant.
“Going outside to play in these conditions was incredible. In the post-day news conference, Jaiswal told reporters, “It will make me strong and I will learn from it as to how to play in all these conditions and how to plan my innings.”
“I try to bat in a way that best suits my team’s needs and adjust my style of play appropriately. How can I bat first if the wicket falls first? How can I bat while the runs are coming?” he asked.

Hasan Mahmud, who took four wickets, according to Jaiswal, kept to good lines and they were attempting to use their feet well against the pacer.
“He bowled really well, in my opinion, although occasionally he let up loose deliveries that allowed us to score runs. Just now, we were discussing the various uses for our foot.
“We were trying to see if there is a loose ball to score runs and was looking to make a partnership and play as long as we can,” he explained.
