Along with the veterans, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be a big platform for the youngsters to shine too. Yashasvi Jaiswal is one player who will be closely watched. The left-handed batter is in tremendous form after a stellar Test series against England. Now, he will be seen in action for Rajasthan Royals. His six-hitting videos during RR training session have gone viral.
Back with his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, India wicket-keeper batter Dhruv Jurel is hoping to replicate his form at Rajasthan Royals after a commendable series with the Test team against England. Having done exceptionally well under Rohit Sharma's leadership, Jurel is now eager to prove his worth to Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson. Ahead of the start of the new season, Jurel spoke highly of Samson's captaincy and even drew parallels between the RR skipper and Rohit Sharma.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is certainly on the top of his game at the moment. Following a successful show in the Indian Premier League 2023, the southpaw made his India debut and never looked back. India's recent five-match Test series against England saw Jaiswal emerging as even better performer as the batter went on to break several records. He ended with 712 runs across five matches at an average of 89, dominating the series on all fronts. Throughout the series what didn't go unnoticed was a supporting captain Rohit Sharma, who was always there to back and guide the youngster.
Star India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant heaped praise on youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal and said that the 22-year-old is someone who stays in the present and doesn't think about the future. Jaiswal recently won the ICC Men's Player of the Month for February 2024, beating competition from New Zealand superstar Kane Williamson and Sri Lanka opener Pathum Nissanka. The left-handed batter is currently leading the ICC World Test Championship in runs scored, and two brilliant double-hundreds in back-to-back Test matches against England in February have helped him along. While speaking at the Club Prairie Fire podcast with Adam Gilchrist and former England skipper Michael Vaughan, Pant said that the youngsters have done an "amazing" job by stepping up for India.
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has revealed that he "mildly reprimanded" young batter Yashasvi Jaiswal during the Test tour of South Africa in December 2023. Recalling his chat with Jaiswal, Gavaskar said that he schooled the young opener for throwing away his wicket in the second Test against West Indies in Trinidad. After scoring a century on his debut, Jaiswal was destined to reach triple figures in the second game. However, he chased a wide delivery and nicked it to second slip for 57.
India's batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal has reacted to the comments made on him by Ben Duckett. Talking about the youngster's aggressive batting during England's recent five-match Test series against India, Duckett asserted that Jaiswal played in that style of cricket as a result of England's much-discussed Bazball approach in the game's purest form. Duckett remarked that England deserve "some credit" for the way Jaiswal adopted an attacking brand of cricket in Tests.
India's newest batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal was on Tuesday named the ICC 'Player of the Month' for February, following his prolific run in the Test series against England, which saw him amass over 700 runs. The 22-year-old southpaw totalled a staggering 712 runs over five matches, the highest aggregate by an Indian batter in a Test series against England. The Indian opener created several records in February, and equalled the long-standing Test record for most sixes in a Test innings (12) during his Rajkot double ton.
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.
