"Would Be Playing Those Shots In Nets": Nehra Floors Jaiswal With Epic Virat-Rohit Remark

India's opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal played some beautiful strokes as the team took on Sri Lanka in the first T20I of the 3-match series on Saturday. Jaiswal scored 21-ball 40 while opening the innings with vice-captain Shubman Gill who also looked in sublime touch. However, it was Jaiswal who also displayed his ability to hit some unorthodox shots, tailor-made for T20 cricket, probably trying to match his skipper Suryakumar Yadav. Speaking about those shots, former India pacer Ashish Nehra left Jaiswal in splits as he suggested that the left-hander would only be playing such shots in the nets if Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were still playing T20 international cricket.

"Ajay Jadeja asked you what's the difference when Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were there (to open in T20Is). According to me, there is just one difference. If Virat and Rohit were still playing this format, then whatever strokes we saw from you today, you would have played those in the nets," Nehra said during the chat with Jaiswal, leaving the opening batter in splits.

Nehraji never disappoints
