Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has showered praise on India’s rising star, Yashasvi Jaiswal calling him as an all-format prospect for India.
In the latest news, Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has showered praise on India’s rising star, Yashasvi Jaiswal. Gavaskar has hailed Jaiswal as an all-format prospect. The opening match of India’s South Africa tour on December 10 was unfortunately washed out without a single bowled.
Jaiswal earned his spot in the Indian team following a stellar performance in the 2023 Indian Premiere League, amassing 625 runs in 14 matches with an impressive strike rate of 163.61. Gavaskar acknowledged Jaiswal’s boldness and labelled him a ‘very good talent,’ emphasizing the freshness he brings to the game.
Since his debut for India, Jaiswal has notched up 370 runs in 13 T20Is, boasting an average of 33.63 and a remarkable strike rate of 163.71. Remarkably, he has already secured a century and two half centuries in T20Is. Sunil Gavaskar highlighted Yashasvi Jaiswal’s adaptability, considering him a valuable asset for India in all formats.
Sunil Gavaskar emphasized Jaiswal’s simple yet effective approach; watch the ball and hit it. The cricket legend commended Jaiswal’s performance in Test Cricket, where he has played two matches, scoring 266 runs at an impressive average of 88.66, including a century and a half century.
As India prepared for the second T20I against South Africa at St George’s Oval in Port Elizabeth on December 12, Yashasvi Jaiswal is expected to play a crucial role. Gavaskar’s endorsement builds the young talent’s position as a key player for India, with an eye on the upcoming T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies.
