Sunil Gavaskar on Yashasvi Jaiswal: Great cricketer Sunil Gavaskar was impressed by Yashasvi Jaiswal’s brilliant batting against the top-class Australian attack and said that the youngster offers a completely different approach to the role of an opening batsman by playing his own shots instead of being overly cautious. Jaiswal is playing the second day’s game after scoring 90 runs and at the other end, KL Rahul is batting on 62 runs. Jaiswal disappointed the fast bowling trio of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood and also the experienced spinner Nathan Lyon and made an unbroken partnership of 172 runs, giving India a lead of 218 runs.
Great opening batsman Gavaskar said after the end of the day’s play, “This boy is special. Where he has come from, the way he is batting and handling the fame, it is not easy.” He said, “He scored more than 700 runs in five Test matches against England, including two double centuries earlier this year. And he looks very hungry for runs, which is what you want as a batsman.”
Gavaskar told ‘Star Sports’, “A lot of us were told to score a century. I think he says I want to score 150 or 200 runs. He is hungry for runs and that is exactly what Indian cricket needs.” Is needed.”
This was the condition of the second day
Due to the excellent bowling of acting captain Jasprit Bumrah (5 wickets for 30 runs) and brilliant half-centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal (90 not out) and KL Rahul (62 not out), India scored 172 runs in its second innings without losing any wicket and won the first Test against Australia. On Saturday, the second day, took a total lead of 218 runs.
