Yashasvi Jaiswal "Needs To Change His Game": Ex-Australia Star's Warning For Border-Gavaskar Trophy

12.03.2024 - 02:59 sports.ndtv.com

Former Australian spinner Brad Hogg said that Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal will have to change his game when he comes Down Under for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy later this year and come up with a new range of shots because of pace and bounce.

Jaiswal was a standout player for India during the home series against England which concluded recently. In five matches and across nine innings, Jaiswal made 712 runs at an average of 89.00, with two double centuries and three fifties.

His best score was 214*. With India going to Australia for the Test series at year-end, Jaiswal will be one of the batters to watch out for.

It will be interesting how he will take on the pace trio of skipper Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc. Speaking on his Youtube Channel, Hogg said that Jaiswal will encounter a lot of pace and bounce on Australian surfaces and will have to come up with new range of shots accordingly.
