Young opener, Yashasvi Jaiswal, has now become an integral part of the Indian team. Many reckon that he is the upcoming superstar of Indian cricket, looking at the performances that he has had in his short career. Recently, he talked about the Indian captain and his opening partner, Rohit Sharma.
Jaiswal feels it is a privilege to go out and bat with the Indian captain. Jaiswal heaped praise on Hitman’s ability to control the game and understand the nature of the pitch on which the match will be played. Jaiswal further said that he learned the ability to bat as per the situation and the type of wicket from Rohit Sharma’s batting.
“It is an incredible experience whenever I go out and bat with him. He has shared his experiences with me. I think the way he controls the game and understands the wicket, it is spot on and there are a lot of things (to learn from him). You can learn from him things like adjusting your batting to seaming or turning tracks or change your batting when a wicket or two fall,” Jaiswal told reporters on the eve of Duleep Trophy game.
