‘He could be the man for India…….’ – Former India cricketers heaps praise on Yashasvi Jaiswal after Australia series

Team India will be facing South Africa for the second T20I game, slated to take place on December 12, after the first T20I was washed out after rain halted the play. Notably, the Men in Blue recently won the T20I series against Australia by 4-1, and they will be looking to dominate Proteas in the ongoing series. However, after his great performances in the Australia series, former India cricketers Sanjay Manjrekar and Sunil Gavaskar hailed Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Sanjay Manjrekar said that Yashasvi Jaiswal will be the most imperative player for Team India in the T20Is in the upcoming years. In addition, the well-renowned cricket commentator feels Jaiswal can do what Rohit Sharma did in the ODI World Cup 2023, giving India a strong start in games to set the tone of the match.

“India can field another T20I team that can compete against other international teams and that’s basically what IPL has done. If India is looking to reinvent their approach, Yashasvi Jaiswal could be the man for India. He can do what Rohit Sharma did in the ODI World Cup 2023 for India,” Sanjay Manjrekar said on Star Sports.

Yashasvi Jaiswal is an all-format prospect for India: Sunil Gavaskar

Meanwhile, former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar also lauded Jaiswal for his exceptional batting against Jofra Archer in IPL 2023. The cricketer-turned-commentator feels the young batter has great talent and is a great option for left-handed top-order batters. Moreover, the legendary cricketer calls Jaiswal an all-format player owing to his lethal batting. The great cricketer also talks about the batting style of the 21-year-old cricketer.

“The way he started off against Jofra Archer in the IPL was impressive. He is a very very good talent. Jaiswal brings the left-handedness as well in the top order. He has the freshness of not being tied down by experience. Sees the ball and hits the ball. Jaiswal is an all-format prospect for India,” Sunil Gavaskar said on Star Sports.
