Mumbai: The sensational way in which he scorched test cricket So far, he has scored 1217 runs in only 11 Test matches at a commendable average of 64.05, which includes three centuries and seven fifties. Yashasvi Jaiswal A lot of excitement has already been generated in the cricket world.
After scoring 929 runs at an average of 80.64 in eight Test matches this year – including 712 in the five-Test series against England in February-March – Jaiswal has been unbeaten. Whereas he dominated the bowling attack in India and scored three quick half-centuries. The jury is still out on whether he will be able to repeat his success in the recently held two-Test series against Bangladesh. Australia In the five test match series Border-Gavaskar TrophyWhich will start in Perth on November 22, given the pace and bounce of that country’s pitches and the quality of the hosts’ pace attack.
However, the legendary West Indies batsman is very impressed with brian lara and former Australian all-rounder shane watson He feels that Jaiswal will perform well in Australia also. After scoring a ton of runs in Australia, including an innings of 277 in Sydney in the 1991–92 series, Lara felt that Jaiswal had the game to succeed in any conditions.
“I think he has the ability to play in any conditions. I saw him in the Caribbean (where Jaiswal made his Test debut last year). Obviously, the pitches are a little different in Australia, but if you want that kind of If you take strength, you will play good cricket in any conditions, so I am hopeful that he will perform well,” Lara said.
In August, former Australian opener Matthew Hayden had admitted that Jaiswal would have to adjust his game to the pace and bounce of the wickets below, but Lara felt that the 22-year-old would have to make all the adjustments. Mind. Instead of working on some technical aspect of your game.
“I think adjustment is on the upper level. Adjustment is your ability to support your talent in any circumstances. You may be familiar. And I am saying this with a pinch of salt because the conditions have changed in India With the IPL you have got international players coming in, which is great, so I don’t think it has much to do with it. It’s all about traveling away from home. It’s a different experience playing against Australia on their soil, but I believe the Indian team I played in the last “Having seen Australia go on a few occasions, he is quite capable of winning.” Tuesday.
Echoing Lara’s praise for Jaiswal, Watson said, “Top-order batsmen like Jaiswal have scored very quickly, but he has not made any mistakes. He didn’t really give the opposition a chance to get him out. If those type of batsmen come to Australia and play aggressively and put pressure on the Australian bowlers, they can still have the same impact and they can take the game forward as well,” Watson said.
Apart from Jaiswal, the other young Indian batsman whom Lara finds exciting is opener Abhishek Sharma, who played under him at Sunrisers Hyderabad, and is currently part of India’s squad in the T20I series against Bangladesh. “Two left-handed players. Jaiswal and Abhishek Sharma. First of all, they are left-handed (like Lara). They are very young. And I think they play the game in a style. Very aggressive. Very stylish. Of course, the relationship I have had with him over the years has been very special, it is great to see him continue to grow from strength to strength,” said Lara.
When in Brisbane in January 2021 Rishabh Pant The ‘Prince of Trinidad’ is apparently also a big fan of Rishabh Pant, who on that occasion scored a brilliant unbeaten 89 to lead India to a memorable win in the Gabba Test.
“Pant is amazing. I remember spending some time with Sunil Gavaskar in Australia when India won that match at the Gabba to win the series. And that was an amazing performance from Pant. He is a very capable left-handed batsman, and such Someone we all like.” Love,” Lara said.
Meanwhile, Watson felt that India’s bowlers will largely decide the series win for the Rohit Sharma-led side in Australia. “India’s pace attack will be where they will mainly win that series. To be able to do that they have five strengths, but to be able to do that in five consecutive Test matches in Australia, they have to rotate them as well,” Watson.
Although he may not get as much turn from the wickets in Australia as he does in India, Watson still has hope from India’s top spinners Ravichandran Ashwin And Ravindra Jadeja To perform well in a mouth-watering series.
“There is no question, even though (Ravichandran) Ashwin is obviously a ridiculously efficient bowler in all conditions, even with (Ravindra) Jadeja, the assist will not be as consistent as it is in other parts of the world. They will still be effective, but how effective they will be, that will be the test and that will be the challenge for the Australian batsmen,” Watson said.
