nobody thought of Vijay Zol that way. Vijay zol did zilch in domestic. List A average 28. Looking at his career i am not even sure if he is playing cricket anymore or he is into other business. Just 15 List A matches. This guy List A averages 70.
 
There is a lot of hype for him, while he was good the only thing that differentiates him from all the ones in queue is him being a southpaw.
Not sure how he will make it in..

He has a lot of swagger. He is already standing out from the pack. Another guy is Padikkal who opened with KL Rahul indomestic and outshined him in a big way with audacious stroke play.

Lovely story this.

Hard work pays.

I hope he stays level-headed and humble throughout his career.
 
Mumbai maidan to stardom

On a sultry afternoon in 2016 when Dilip Vengsarkar met a young and unassuming left-hander, he was almost certain that the teenager would make it big in world cricket. The former India captain, after all, has this knack of spotting talent in Mumbai cricket circles.

“My student Jwala Singh told me about Yashasvi Jaiswal and his humble background. After seeing Yashasvi, I was impressed and decided to sign him for Dadar Union Sports Club. Since then he has been scoring runs regularly,” Vengsarkar told The Telegraph on Wednesday.

“He was very disciplined and down to earth from the beginning and had the hunger to learn. Those helped him to reach the level where Yashasvi is today. He still has a long way to go. I hope he will continue like this and chase his dreams,” Vengsarkar said.

On Tuesday, Yashasvi scored unbeaten 105 for India colts in their U-19 World Cup semi-final against Pakistan in Potchefstroom, South Africa. India won by 10 wickets.

With one century, three half-centuries and an average of 156, Yashasvi is on a roll.

Sensing his capabilities, Rajasthan Royals picked him at the IPL auction this time for Rs 2.40 crore.

The youngster idolises Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. Vengsarkar thinks he should follow Kohli and maintain the standards. “Qualities are there. But if he wants to reach the next level, he has to maintain his fitness.”

Vengsarkar had also asked his friends to help Yashasvi during Dadar Union’s tour to England back in 2017. “I have many friends in England. I told them about his background. They told him to score runs and that they would give him those many pounds. And they did that…

“But the main man behind Yashasvi is my 1995 batch student Jwala, who is now his coach. He is like his father and has protected him from all the difficulties,” Vengsarkar said.

Going by his form and the Indians’ winning streak, Vengsarkar is expecting India to win the U-19 World Cup. “Till date India have outplayed all their opponents. Hope they would continue like this and win the final,” he said.

Yashasvi is happy with his performance so far but he doesn’t want to remember what has happened in the past. His focus is to do well in the final. On Tuesday, he called his parents and shared his experience with them.

Yashasvi’s father Bhupendra Kumar runs a paint shop in Bhadohi (Uttar Pradesh) and his mother works at a private school. His brother Tejashavi stays with his parents and two sisters. “He struggled a lot and we are happy that he is doing well now and everybody is talking about my son,” Bhupendra said.

Yashasvi’s coach too feels his work is not over yet. “He is happy with his performance. But at the same time he feels his job is not over. I spoke for a while after the semi-final. He has already started preparing for the final,” Jwala said.

What would be his message to the left-hander? “I just told him to enjoy the game. And take the game as another match, not as the U-19 World Cup final. I think that will help Yashasvi and the others,” he said.

Seems like you weren't following cricket at the time and are just going by statistics. You need to take a look at this thread.
 
How Sachin Tendulkar's 'special' tip helped Yashasvi Jaiswal bloom

MUMBAI: Just after he slog-swept Aamir Ali to deep mid-wicket for a six to complete his hundred and seal India's 10-wicket win in the U-19 World Cup semifinal against Pakistan, Yashasvi Jaiswal looked skywards.

He thanked the almighty, then leaped in the air like David Warner and ended with a Virat Kohli-like fist pump. He knew he had made the world sit up and take notice.

"Being a frontline batsman, I was feeling the pressure a bit before that game. When I and (fellow opener) Divyansh (Saxena) were batting, they were sledging us a lot. However, we were determined to win the game without losing a wicket, and we were so happy to do that and go to the final," Jaiswal told TOI from Potchefstroom on the eve of the final against Bangladesh.

"Before that innings, I had scored three fifties, but wasn't carrying on after that. Before the semifinal, Jwala sir (mentor, coach and father figure) told me to break my innings into two parts. Once I'd scored my fifty, I was supposed to think that I'm now batting on zero. That really helped me break that barrier," said the stylish left-hander.

The youngster also sought the advice of domestic batting stalwart Wasim Jaffer. "He and Sachin sir are my idols. Wasim sir keeps telling me how to build an innings. Since he's played in South Africa, he gave me tips on how to tackle the pace and bounce on the quick wickets here. Sachin sir gave me valuable advice, saying, 'Every bowler will give you a clue about what he's going to bowl next. You've to concentrate and catch that clue,'" said Jaiswal.

Apart from Tendulkar and Jaffer, the Young Turk has done well to pick the brains of batting great Rahul Dravid, who paid a visit to the Indian U-19 team in South Africa last month, too. "I keep asking him a lot of questions. I asked him how to bat when the team is under huge pressure. He gave me a simple advice: 'Just focus on the next ball very, very hard.'"

It's evident that his determination to succeed stems from a phase when he struggled in Mumbai as a budding cricketer, selling paani puris for a living and sleeping in a tent, before Jwala Singh took him to his home. "I really enjoyed those days. They gave me the confidence that I can fight any situation," the Mumbaikar said.

Jaiswal is pleased to have "almost fulfilled" a promise he made to his mentor. "When I called Jwala sir (in December) after getting selected in the World Cup squad, he was not very excited about it. He said he will be happy if I became the highest run-scorer of the U-19 World Cup and win the tournament for India. I'm happy to have almost fulfilled that promise," Jaiswal said.

For now, the prodigiously talented batsman is solely focusing on the biggest game of his nascent career so far. "There's just the final left now. We're quite confident about ourselves, and are focused on our processes."

Hopefully Kohli realises the value of investing in youngsters.He himself debuted at 20.
 
Is he better than Shaw or Gill? Not even close in my opinion. Unless he scores daddy double hundreds in domestics, I don't see him in the Indian team anytime soon.

Dhawan has never let go of the balls outside the off stump like this kid. This guy is very very decisive. Almost as good as Rahul Dravid. More than LOI he will be a fantastic Test match prospect.

In tests he will be as good as than them. There is nothing flashy about him. Very tight organized technique.
 
I don't think he will get chances at least for 4-5 years because there are so many openers and top order batsman so he has to wait in the queue.

No way lol CHanders is ugly to watch. This guy looks glorious to watch. Ganguly is a bit more adventurous through the off side. But his ability to find gap was unmatched. This guy is probably slightly better than Ganguly through the onside.
 
Let us see how Jaiswal plays in IPL. Consistent performance in IPL and domestic could help him expedite his entry into senior team because he is a left handed batsman. Unless Rishab Pant opens in LOI, we don't have any other new LH opener.

He will be a better Test player than both of them, but his strokeplay certainly has glimpses of both. Brilliant prospect.

Shaw, Jaiswal, Gill. Indian top three is set for another 15 years.

I don't expect Shaw to be a good opener in the long run. He has flaws to be a successful opener. He judges the line well, but many times he prefers to play beside the line to force it on to the offside. But, his judgement of length is questionable. He is short and it is masking this flaw to some extent. However, he is young and he can always improve.
 
Didn't deserve to be in a losing team. Well played young man. Seriously India how do you do it? Keep producing batsmen after batsmen.

Prithvi shaw is an over-confident batsman who wants to attack every ball. He gotta slowly improve his shot selection.
 
Outside of Jaiswal, the rest of this Indian U19 team is very poor.

Jaiswal needs to prove himself in IPL to grab the attention of selectors.

Bishnoi is decent.

Jaishwal,bishnoi and tyagi are good prospects with jaiswal standout.Priyam garg has been a big disappointment given his reputation.
 
jaiswal is much better than shaw and gill. he has a very bright future in tests.

bishnoi is the other great find, may replace kuldeep
 
I think he can be a great Test opening batsman. He can improve some techniques but he seems promising.

He can also bowl handy spin. He gets turn.

He is not a finished product but potential is there.
 
Defending champions India suffered a heart-breaking loss against Bangladesh in the ICC Under19 Cricket World Cup final on Sunday. Despite the loss vs Bangladesh, there were a few positives for the Indian side as Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravi Bishnoi topped the batting and bowling charts respectively with breakthrough performances.

Jaiswal finished the tournament as the highest run-scorer with 400 runs from six innings under his belt. After scoring a match-winning hundred against Pakistan in semifinals, the 19-year-old played a handsome knock of 88 in the final and top-scored for his team with not much support from the other end. Result, India got bundled out for 177 runs without even playing their quota of 50 overs.

Overall, Jaiswal finished second-highest run-scorer for India in ICC Under-19 World Cup history after Shikhar Dhawan, who scored 505 runs in the 2004 edition. He scored 88 runs in the final and top-scored for his team but other batsmen could not do much as India got bundled out for 177 runs without even playing their quota of 50 overs.

Speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony, Jaiswal said he enjoyed playing in the Under-19 World Cup in South Africa. “I really enjoyed the tournament. I had a good experience here on how to play in these wickets. I knew I had to play smartly. I am thinking about what I am playing next and it’s about the process. I want to stick with that.”

Meanwhile, leg-spinner Bishnoi also scripted history for the pulsating final in Potchefstroom on Sunday. Defending a paltry score of 177, he picked up a four-wicket haul to extend his overall tally to 17 wickets in the WC edition.

The Jodhpur-born spinner finished as the highest wicket-taker in the tournament.

Bishnoi also surpassed Shalabh Srivastava (2000), Abhishek Sharma (2002), Kuldeep (2014) and Anukul Roy (2018) and become India’s leading wicket-taker ever in a single World Cup edition.

Player of the U-19 World Cup, Yashasvi Jaiswal, says practising on astro-turf pitches before the tournament helped him excel on the bouncy tracks in South Africa.

Jaiswal was also the highest run-getter in the tournament with 400 runs in six innings, including an unbeaten hundred against Pakistan in the semifinal.

“(His mentor) Jwala Sir had told me that you have to go and bag the player of the series award. We practiced a lot on how to play on bouncy tracks. We practiced on how to play short-balls and that helped me,” Jaiswal said on Saturday.

“I was either playing or leaving short-balls. There is bounce on astro-turf wickets like how it is there, so I batted on astro-turf wickets and that worked,” said the 18-year-old, who dedicated his player of the series award to Jwala.

Jaiswal, who is seen as the next young gun to make it big, said during the tournament he also learnt how to bat under pressure. “It was a very good experience, to play in a different country, where the wickets were also different. And I enjoyed batting as I was batting for longer duration in the games as well as in the nets.

“I learnt a lot while playing and also learnt on how to deal with pressure, as pressure was there during most of the games,” the left-handed opener said.

Jaiswal’s scores in the tournament were 59 (versus Sri Lanka), 29 not out (versus Japan), 57 not out (versus New Zealand), 62 (versus Australia), 105 not out (versus Pakistan) and 88 (versus Bangladesh). India, however, lost the final to Bangladesh.

Jaiswal said his century against Pakistan was “an important 100” of his life.

Both Jaiswal and his opening partner Divyansh Saxena gave India good starts during the event and he acknowledged the role played by his “Dadar Union” teammate.

“Whenever I was in a hurry or went for a big shot, we spoke to each other. At such times, Diyvansh used to tell me ‘keep playing, a lot of time is left in the game, we will score runs’,” he said.

Jaiswal, who sold paani puris and lived in a tent in his early playing days in Mumbai, also expressed his gratitude for junior chief selector Ashish Kapoor who suggested that he could open the innings for India U-19.

“All the U-19 selectors helped me a lot. It was because of Ashish Kapoor sir that I was able to open. I would like to thank all the selectors and coaches,” he added.

Jaiswal was quite impressive during last U-19 World Cup. I think he can be a solid Test opener.
 
Freshers' week is a little different for everyone this year, but few will experience one quite like India batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal.

When the 18-year-old is not playing in the Indian Premier League or shuffling around one of the world's most luxurious hotels in Dubai alongside the likes of Steve Smith, Jofra Archer and Jos Buttler, he is meeting his heroes on an almost daily basis - just last week he made Twitter smile with his humble greeting of MS Dhoni.

Yet playing for Rajasthan Royals in his debut IPL season is a world away from the challenges he encountered when he left home in rural Uttar Pradesh aged just 10 to pursue his dream of becoming a professional cricketer.

And all without the toastie maker, clothes horse and highlighter pens which other first-time home-leavers arm themselves with.

"I just really wanted to play cricket but in India, in a village, it's not easy to get an opportunity," Jaiswal told the Test Match Special at the IPL podcast.

"My seniors, they were telling me if you want to play cricket just go to Mumbai. That one thing stuck in my head - whenever I went to sleep or when talking to my mum I told her I wanted to go to Mumbai."

Not only did a 10-year-old Jaiswal promise to fund his own dream in one of the world's most populous cities, but he also pledged he wouldn't return home to see his parents until he had "achieved something" - which he says took four years.

The cricket was good - he'd spend all day honing his forward defence and practising ramp shots on the world famous Azad Maidan, a 25-acre area of land which is home to dozens of cricket fields and has spawned the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and current India opener Prithvi Shaw.

Surviving, however, was tough. In return for money and a roof over his head, he would work at a dairy shop until he was thrown out because he was too tired to earn his keep after a long day of cricket.

"I was like 'please let me stay here at least the night'," recalls Jaiswal. "I was alone at the time, it was a hard moment for me.

"The next day I called my cricket coach and he said to go to his home so I lived there for two or three months.

"In Mumbai it's hard to find space so I eventually needed to find another home. I moved into a tent with the groundsmen at my cricket club.

"They told me if I wanted to live in their tent, I had to score runs.

"I thought it would be good for me to live in a tent near the ground because I could wake up and go to practice, or I could do scoring or umpiring and with that I could help myself with money."

To top up his earnings - and all the while hoping his more affluent team-mates would not notice him - Jaiswal would sell street food during religious festivals.

But there was often not enough left over to feed himself. His diet consisted of lentils, rice, flour and potatoes, with chicken reserved for Sundays.

"I'd be waiting for Sundays," recalls Jaiswal, who often went to sleep without eating rather than fight for scraps with the groundsmen he shared living quarters with.

Then there were the times when all he wanted was to hug his mother who lived more than 1,300km away. Jaiswal, though, felt emotion would be perceived as weakness.

"When I missed my mum I did cry," he said. "I didn't tell people what was going on because I knew they would have told me to come home if I'm not comfortable. I just told them I was fine."

Fast forward to the present day, and on the back of being the leading run-scorer in this year's Under-19 World Cup and boasting an eye-watering domestic one-day average of 71, he was given an IPL contract worth £256,000 by Rajasthan.

He is expected to soon break into the India national team, with his name a constant on the lips of commentators and pundits ever since he became the youngest player to score a one-day double century.

His sparkling 203 off 154 balls for Mumbai came at the tender age of 17 and beat the previous record by almost three years. Now he is opening the batting in the world's richest cricket competition alongside the world's number one ranked Test batsman, Australia's Smith.

"He [Smith] said just go out and enjoy it - he's a really nice guy," said Jaiswal. "When he came I wanted to ask so many questions, how to best prepare, improve my mindset. He said whatever you want to ask, just ask, don't hesitate.

"For a senior to do that, it's amazing for a youngster to bat under his captaincy."

Freshers' week couldn't get much better for Jaiswal. Well, not unless he bumped into Kate Winslet in the corridors of the exclusive resort Rajasthan currently reside in.

"My favourite film is Titanic and my favourite actress is Kate Winslet," said Jaiswal. "I love her so much and I just want to meet her one day.

"My favourite song is 'My Heart Will Go On' by Celine Dion. I am a romantic guy."

Was dropped this match though.. instead of Robin should just play him, Robin has no more will to perform, somehow RR is persisting with Parag though.
 
Batter Ravi Teja was having some issues with Yashasvi Jaiswal, so after warning him first and seeing it still happen, Captain Ajinkya Rahane tells his own teammate to leave the field!

Rahane has asked Jaiswal to leave the field after few discipline issues with the South Zone batter in Duleep Trophy final. (Jaiswal was warned earlier as well)
 
West Zone were simply at their best as they defeated South Zone in the final of the Duleep Trophy by 294 runs on Sunday. Yashasvi Jaiswal was the star of the show as he smashed a double ton for the West Zone, helping Ajinkya Rahane's side set a mammoth target for the South Zone. However, Jaiswal grabbed the limelight for all the wrong reasons on the final day of the match, as he was seen engaging in a verbal battle with South Zone's T Ravi Teja.

Rahane tried to control him on a few occasions, but looking at how the youngster is just not choosing to quiet down, he decided to send him off for a few overs on the final day of the match.

After the game, Rahane opened up on the incident and said: "You have to follow rules and respect the game, your opponents, and the umpires. I believe in always respecting your opponents, umpires, and match officials. If you don't, you get off the field. That is my mantra. So you have to handle certain incidents in a certain manner."

The fifth and final day of the Duleep Trophy final saw some drama unfolding in the middle as Rahane sent Jaiswal off the field due to disciplinary issues. The entire episode unfolded as Jaiswal was having a regular go at South Zone batter T Ravi Teja. Both players kept on having a go at each other, and finally, the umpires decided to have a word with Rahane.

During the 50th over of the final innings, Jaiswal and Ravi Teja engaged in a verbal exchange. Rahane quickly charged to pacify the situation. The experienced player was seen having a word with Jaiswal.

But Jaiswal still kept on having a go at Teja, and then Rahane decided to send him off. Jaiswal was seen murmuring something to himself as he walked away from the field.

Jaiswal finally came back on the field during the 65th over of the innings. Earlier, the left-handed batter had smashed 263 runs off 323 balls to set a 529-run target for South Zone.

South Zone was bundled out for 234 runs in the fourth and final innings and the Rahane-led West Zone won the final by 294 runs.

This is the value of having experienced cricketers play their last year or so in domestic.

Good lesson learnt for Jaiswal at young age.
 
After Gill and Shaw, Jaiswal is the next special talent.

Of the three, Shaw seems to be turning out the biggest disappointment due to poor fitness standards and other technical deficiencies. :inti
 
He will be a masterful test batsman. Amazing temperament. Not sure how far he will go in other formats even though he has all the shots.
 
Mumbai star player Yashasvi Jaiswal has created history, he scored double century for the Rest of India (RoI) team during his Irani Cup debut against Madhya Pradesh in Gwalior on Saturday, March 4.

Scoring his double century (213 off 259 balls), Yashasvi hit a hundred off just 104 balls. Even though ROI lost early wickets including captain Mayank Agarwal's dismissal for a duck, The-21-year old, Jaiswal scored 58 off 53 balls before stumps.

Madhya Pradesh's pacer dominated the ROI's batters, picked up four wickets within five overs in the morning session on Day 4. Even under such high pressure, the young star kept his cool and knocked a double hundred and hundred in a single Irani Cup match.

In total Yashasvi scored 334 runs in the match, 213 (259) with 30 fours and 3 sixes, while 121* (132) with 15 fours and 2 sixes in the other innings.

From selling panipuris to knocking on the doors of national selection.
 
Jaiswal is the best Indian batsman in the IPL by far and the 2nd best overall. Him and Shubman should be Indias T20 openers

Here is his story:

====

On July 30, when the Indian Under-19 team faced off vs Sri Lanka, 17-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal made his debut. His debut was not over the top, he made just 15, but the story behind this kid's entry into the team is one that speaks of courage, determination and true grit.

To trace the roots of his journey, we need to go back to 2011. An 11-year-old kid came to Mumbai with one objective, to play cricket for the country. He lived in a tent, sold panipuri and also slept without eating for many days.

His father was a shopkeeper from Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh. When the boy shifted base to Mumbai to follow his passion for the game, he was supposed to live with his uncle Santosh, but the house was not big enough for him to stay in.

Thus, at his uncle's request, the Muslim United Sports Club allowed Yashasvi to stay in the tents with the groundsmen. For the next 3 years it would be his home. Of course, to sustain himself, the boy had to indulge in odd jobs. Selling panipuri and also fruits helped him to manage his finances.

Jwala Singh was the one who first spotted him and took the lad under his wing. It was from there that things began to change. One more person who has inspired him is Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, who told him to think according to the situation.

All the hard work paid dividends when he found himself in the Under-19 squad vs Sri Lanka. Now that he has made his debut, it's only the beginning for the teenager. Who knows? Someday we may see him wearing the Team India jersey. For that to be a reality, there are challenges that lie ahead.

All the best Yashasvi for the future. The first step has been taken, now the world is your oyster.

More on Jaiswal:

==

"He has got real talent. The kind of domestic season he has had, he has taken that form into IPL. Good for him, good for Indian cricket and good for RR as well," India's all-format captain Rohit Sharma said.

The left-hander's maiden IPL century was not only the highest score of the current season -- it also put him on top in the league's 2023 batting rankings.

With a strike rate of 159.70, he has now racked up 428 runs, ahead of South Africa's on-fire Faf du Plessis (422 - Royal Challengers Bangalore) and New Zealand opener Devon Conway (414 - Chennai Super Kings).

- Pani puri to premier league -

Jaiswal moved to Mumbai -- without his parents -- when he was just 11.

"I used to sleep in a dairy and then stayed at my uncle's place but it wasn't big enough and he asked me to find a different place," Jaiswal told AFP in an interview in 2020.

"I then started to stay in a tent near Azad Maidan (a Mumbai sports ground) and would play cricket there during the day.

"I sold pani puri at night, to help earn some money for food," he said, referring to a popular street snack.

Jaiswal also did some cricket scoring and fetched balls in club games to help finance his career before being noticed by coach Jwala Singh, who became the boy's legal guardian.

"I saw in Yashasvi a younger me and thought God is giving me another chance to play well in my second innings of life," Singh, who played state-level credit, told AFP in 2020.

Jaiswal won a place in the Mumbai state team in 2019 and became the youngest batsman, at 17 years and 292 days, to score a domestic one-day double century.

His big break came when the youngster was snapped up by Rajasthan for $338,000 in the 2019 auctions of the world's richest T20 tournament.

In 2020, Jaiswal was the leading scorer for India's under-19 team, and player of the tournament at the 2020 under-19 World Cup.

- Losing cause -

His first three IPL seasons were ordinary, but this year he has formed a fearsome opening pair with England white-ball captain Jos Buttler.

His sparkling innings on Sunday was in a losing cause, with Mumbai Indians winning with three balls after Australian axe-man Tim David blasted three sixes in a row in the final over.

But Jaiswal was still named player of the match and was typically humble afterwards, even after his innings with 16 fours and eight sixes.

"I want to follow my dream and work hard for it. (I will) work on my process and the result will follow," he said.

Veteran cricket journalist Ayaz Memon tweeted that Jaiswal "seems destined for bigger things", while former India cricketer Virender Sehwag called the innings "one of the finest hundreds you will see".

His name was also trending on social media, with users comparing his knock to former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum's unbeaten 158 for Kolkata Knight Riders in the first match of the league in 2008.

"This year he has taken his game to a new level," Rohit said.

"I asked him where all that power is coming from because last year I didn't see so many sixes and he was timing it so nicely. He says 'I have been spending a lot of my time in the gym'."

Jaiswal and Gill is a legendary opening pair in the making, they should be the best opening pair across all formats in the coming years.
 
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been one of the top performers for Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 and the youngster added another huge milestone to his name during the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday. The left-handed opener has now scored 1000 runs in the competition and he became the second-youngest cricketer to achieve the feat. In a list completely dominated by Indians, Rishabh Pant was the youngest at 20 years 218 years. Jaiswal was 21 years 130 days when he scored his 1000th IPL run with Prithvi Shaw occupying the third spot.

A fifty in just 13 balls

Yashasvi Jaiswal has smashed the fastest fifty in IPL history

What an innings.
 
If selectors have any sense, they need to make YJ part of the WC squad. He along with Gill should open ideally. But it will be slowpoke Rohit and timid KL.
 
BENGALURU, May 20 (Reuters) - Rajasthan Royals' in-form opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is ready to make his international debut for India after a stellar season in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), batting great Sunil Gavaskar said.

Jaiswal made a 36-ball 50 on Friday to guide Rajasthan to a four-wicket win over Punjab Kings. He climbed to second in the list of top run-scorers with 625 from 14 matches behind Royal Challengers Bangalore's Faf du Plessis who has 702 from 13.

The 21-year-old, who this season hit the fastest IPL half-century in 13 balls, also eclipsed Australian Shaun Marsh's 15-year record to become the highest run-getter among uncapped players in a single season.

Former Indian captain Gavaskar said Jaiswal should get his opportunity to represent the country when he is in peak form.

"I think he's ready and should be given a chance," Gavaskar told Star Sports before Friday's match. "When a player is in form and then he gets the chance, his confidence is also sky-rocketed.

"There's always doubt - 'Am I ready for international standard?' If your form isn't good at the time, your doubt increases. So it's important to be in form at that time."

Gavaskar said Jaiswal had the right mentality and technique to play for India.

"If a batter scores 40-50 runs in T20 in 20-25 balls, he has done well for the team. But if he's an opener, you'd want him to play 15 overs," Gavaskar said.

"If he scores a century, your team total would easily cross the 190-200 mark. That's why the way Yashasvi has batted this season has made me happy. He's a technical batter as well."

Rajasthan are fifth in the IPL table and among six teams in contention for the remaining three playoff spots.
 
Another incredible Indian talent. Will form a long fruitful opening partnership with subhman Gill. India churning out batter after batter. Another goat in the making
 
A good knock by young Jaiswal made 60 off 41 deliveries. His knock included 6 fours and 3 sixes. He has put india into a commanding position against SA in the 3rd T20I today.
 
Has to be one of if not the scariest batsman to bowl to in Asia right now.
 
This has been a blitz of a knock from Yashasvi Jaiswal, notching up his second Test half-century against England in the 1st Test. It was a superb innings against tough bowling and challenging pitch conditions. Currently he is batting at 52*(49)

At the end of Day 1, the scoreboard reads 119/1 after just 23 overs, with him standing unbeaten at an impressive 76 off 70.
 
I think he is a little over rated, really struggled in SA..

But lets see how his career goes.
 
Jaiswal will do well in Australia later this year.

A batting lineup of Rohit, Jaiswal, Gill, Kohli, KL Rahul, Pant, Jadeja will cause enough problems to Aussies.
