"This Was An Opportunity For Him": Robin Uthappa Reflects On Yashasvi Jaiswal's Missed Opportunity

Former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa spoke about Yashasvi Jaiswal's innings after Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025. Speaking on Jio Hotstar Uthappa reflected on Yashasvi Jaiswal's missed opportunity. "This was an opportunity for him to take on the responsibility and guide his team through. He was a set batter on a pitch that wasn't the easiest for batting. When I say that, I mean in comparison to the high-scoring surfaces we see today, especially with the impact player rule allowing teams to field up to eight specialist batters, plus an all-rounder, effectively giving them nine batting options. With that depth, batters have the freedom to attack, but reading the conditions and match situation is crucial. Unfortunately, Yashasvi didn't do that today." JioStar expert Robin Uthappa said while speaking on Jio Hotstar.
