After a recent whitewash by New Zealand, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s power hitting in WACA nets brings hope to Team India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy which is going to begin on Nov 22.
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Power Hitting
The Indian cricket team has started their practice at the WACA stadium in Perth, preparing for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, set to begin on November 22.
Players like Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal were seen adjusting to the conditions, which are expected to offer plenty of pace and bounce.
In a video shared by a Forbes journalist, Jaiswal’s powerful hitting was highlighted, with one of his shots reportedly landing on the nearby road.
To maintain privacy, the training area has been covered to keep fans from watching the sessions. Instead of playing a scheduled practice match against India ‘A’, India’s coach Gautam Gambhir decided that more net practice would benefit the team as they aim for success in this crucial series.
