[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Yashasvi Jaiswal - Outstanding Indian batter

The goal post for Indian batters will keep moving, if Jaiswal scored runs in SENA then there will be a post that how many of them were in wins etc. So for now I am happy how he has been playing, at least he is helping the team win at home. SA pitches were horrible, the home side was bowled out for 55 for crying out loud. Can't judge players based on that series. We need to wait and see how he does but for now he is brilliant. India needed players to play well against spin and score runs at home as well.
Only one guy averaged 50 in that series lol That too ELgar with that one innings. Failed in other two innings
I’m not saying that he’s bad, in fact he may go on to be a legend. But I said that people are getting way ahead of themselves by declaring he’s the continuation of Sachin and then Kohli and in another thread a poster said that he was a GOAT level talent.

All I said was that you can’t declare a player a future GOAT based upon on how they play against Hartley and Rehan Ahmed on flat pitches at home.

I do not think he is compared with anyone. At best, he is compared with Gill. He is a proper guy who came through the system. He didn't have hype like Prithvi Shaw who scored 300 or 400 at the school level like Sachin. Sarfraz also scored big runs. He had a wonderful under-19 World Cup. Then drafted into the first-class squad. Scored tons of runs. Made big centuries. Played well against the A sides. Played well for the regional side. Then in the IPL, he showed progress on each outing. He registered the fastest 50 in IPL history last season. He is not here by accident. He smashed 26 runs of Hazlewood in the IPL smashing him for 3 sixes. He already showed sparks at various levels. People rate him for the right reason. He was rated even before he made his debut. He is merely reaffirming that. Played a fantastic knock in the under-19 World Cup final with zero support. He also made 100 in the under-19 semi-final against Pakistan.
 
Who would it be now? Young fab 4?

Jaiswal
Would say pant if he was there but he is injured
Other 3 I would say is
Rachin ravindra
Brook if he can improve vs spin
Last one would be
Markram imo

I think potential future Fab 4s are:

Jaiswal
Rachin
Markram
Brevis/Brook/Pope.
 
I forgot to mention Gill. He is quite good also.

My updated potential future Fab 4s:

Jaiswal
Gill
Rachin
Markram/Brevis/Brook/Pope.
Agreed. Maybe sarfraz if he carries this way.
Don't see any from pakistam
Maybe hurraira

Sarfraz will be tested thoroughly in sena I believe. He may survive but can't dominate pace like spin.As wood have owned him in ipl ,I really wants to see his mettle in sena.
 
'In India, when you grow up, you work really hard for everything': Jaiswal reflects on his record-breaking innings

The leading run-getter in the current ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle Yashasvi Jaiswal continues to establish himself as one of India’s rising superstars.

The 22-year-old has already broken and created new records in his seven Test matches. After his back-to-back double hundreds helped him overtake Usman Khwaja (855 runs) to become the most prolific batter in the current WTC cycle with 861 runs, on 18 February, during Day 4 of the Rajkot Test, Jaiswal also became the first India batter to hit 12 sixes in a Test innings and with 22 sixes in only three Tests, he went past his opening partner and skipper Rohit Sharma (19 sixes) on the list of most sixes hit in a bilateral Test series.

"In India, when you grow up, you work really hard for each and everything. Even when getting the bus you have to work really hard to get on the bus. You have to work really hard to get to the train and auto and everything and I have done that since my childhood and I know how important every innings is and that's why I work hard in my [practice] sessions and every innings counts for me and my team,” Jaiswal said on broadcast post-match.

“That is my biggest motivation to play for my country and I just make sure that whenever I'm there I need to give my 100% and then enjoy,"

The first innings of the Rajkot Test saw Jaiswal dismissed early to Mark Wood for 10 runs. However, Rohit and Ravindra Jadeja's centuries helped India to a strong total of 445. The effort from the senior men instilled in young Jaiswal with motivation to go big in the second innings.

"The way Rohit bhai and Jaddu bhai played in the first innings, motivated me a lot," Jaiswal said.

"Because the passion was there, the talk was there, they were determined to play session by session and when I was inside [the dressing room] I kept thinking that when I go there I have to make it count. The way they were talking about the game, the way they motivated us, I think it's incredible to see them putting a lot of effort."

Jaiswal’s unbeaten 214* wasn’t straightforward to come by. He started steadily by scoring just 29 runs from his first 64 balls but then blazed to his hundred in the next 58 balls before a back spasm late on Day 3 forced him to walk back retired hurt. Jaiswal resumed his knock the next day and cruised to his double century that included a hat-trick of sixes against England's great James Anderson.

“It's kind of hard, Test cricket, I guess. So, I just make sure that if I'm there, I need to make sure in my mind that I will give my 100%.”

"Suddenly I got set and I felt that I could score runs. I have my plans where I could play all my shots and I tried to play only those shots and get those runs. After some time, my back was not really good.

I didn't want to [retire] out but it was too much. The next day I didn't know how it was going to start, lots of thoughts in my mind. But again when I came, I tried to give myself time and after that, I felt really really good."

Jaiswal acknowledged India Head Coach Rahul Dravid and Batting Coach Vikram Rathour’s role in mentoring him through his nascent Test career and regularly visits seniors in the team for advice.

"As a cricketer, I always go with the emotion. Sometimes I do well and sometimes I don't. The way they come and the way they talk about cricket and all other things, I think it's been incredible and I'm really enjoying it.

"The things that they have told me, how I can think about the game, how I can read the wicket, how I can take my game as deep as I can and with that also they give me all the freedom. 'If you think that you can play that shot well, make sure you are committing to it and you're playing it'. They know that I play the sweep and the reverse sweep and they say you play, but make sure the ball is there to play.

"I always keep thinking and talking to my seniors like Rohit bhai and Rahul bhai as well about how I can prepare for the game and how I can switch my mind. I think it is really important to work on my mind and I really try to work on my mind and then I try to express myself."

There are people comparing Babar to Kohli despite Babar having done barely anything of note compared to Kohli in any format.
 
He will be tested and judged once he plays on testing conditions where the balls spins, seams and swings. Too early to predict if he is really special.
 
Perhaps but at this stage in their respective careers , Kohli was dominating ODI cricket and had a monster World T20 in 2016, had scored tons in SA and Australia in Tests etc.
Every country have their own superstars. While Kohli is revered more in the sub-continent, it's not that case in other parts of the cricketing world.

I can tell you from my experience that my Aussie GF rates Steve Smith higher. In fact here in Australia many believe Steve Smith is a better Test player than Kohli. Test performances carry more value so in this part of the world Steve Smith is in the same league as other Aussie legends.
 
He will be found out in England. A little bounce and Wood picked up his wicket easy.
What wood did In second innings. Jaiswal learned from his mistakes in hyd and scored double centuries. He may fail but he shows his intent to learn,that's what matters.He is very young and will definitely makes most of it.Kohli had an epic eng tour after his dramatic failures in his first trip. Even eng now a days wont prefer seeming tracks for bazball.Nz may go for seeming tracks.In SA t20s, jaiswal did what he can against 145 plus .so definitely he can cope up with the bounce
 
He will be found out in England. A little bounce and Wood picked up his wicket easy.
Based on what? lol In England all you need is temperament which he has a lot. Only guys who likes to feel every ball does poorly. Heck even Rahul and Rohit have done reasonably well there as openers.

Those are just reflex statements when an Indian batsman does well. I mean, it is correct to say he needs to perform well away. But to authoritatively state that he will fail based on one dismissal is laughworthy.

Smith is a better test player than Kohli. When all said and done, they are in similar bracket in one format so it's fine to have comparison.

Babar is just not in the same bracket in any format, so comparison does not make any sense.

He is a good player. Thats all we can say. Long long way to go. He us a baby. I need to see how he does in sen before passing judgement. Won't judge him based on those atrocious pitches in SA that made burger look like Alan donald. Even there he showed some grit and toughness. Let's see how he does vs england in England and aus down under.

Based on what I have seen, he has slight issues vs bounce but can be fixed
 
Jaiswal is looking solid yet again and will be looking for a big score.

---------------

Sir Alastair Cook, speaking on TNT Sports:

"He doesn't stop, does he? That on-drive for four was one of a man right at the top of his game.

"I'm still surprised by this wicket, the fact that we didn't see any unusual bounce in that session."
 
Fifty in first Test. - Double Hundred in second Test. - Double Hundred in third Test.- Fifty in fourth Test.

This guy is special.
 
Opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal becomes only the fifth Indian to score 600 or more runs in a Test series, during day two of the fourth Test of the five-match series at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi on Saturday.

Most runs for India in a Test series:

774 - S Gavaskar (vs WI in WI, 1971)
732 - S Gavaskar (vs WI in WI, 1978)
692 - V Kohli (vs AUS in AUS, 2014)
655 - V Kohli (vs ENG in IND, 2016)
642 - D Sardesai (vs WI in WI, 1971)
619 - R Dravid (vs AUS in AUS, 2003)
618* - Y Jaiswal (vs ENG in IND, 2024)
610 - V Kohli (vs SL in IND, 2017)
602 - R Dravid (vs ENG in ENG, 2002)
 
Still three innings left so i think he will break the gavaskar record of most runs in a test series.

Favourite contender for man of the series awards .
 
I feel this test series is very special when the next set of batting superstars of our country cementing their places for the next decade and replacing the old like a natural process....similar to dental eruptions😇😇😇
 
Still three innings left so i think he will break the gavaskar record of most runs in a test series.
Hope he does. Its been over 50 years and no Indian bat has come anywhere near this record.
 
What a cowardly approach .we deserve to lose.
Gill and jadeja played a lot of over but score was going nowhere .
Need to play some shot so England also feel some pressure .this tuk tuk game Only lead to wickets
 
Can this kid break Sunil Gavaskar's records? Sunny G twice got 700+ vs West Indies in the 70s.
 
Next match at dharmasala will be a good test for jaiswal as it seems a lot and it's against Anderson and company.He will be thoroughly tested and weather forecast is 5 degrees to make it even harder.

Yes I'm looking forward to that. Anderson will be a real handful there with the swirling winds. I have very few doubts left about Jaiswal and whether he does well in Dharamsala or not, we will definitely invest in him but it'll be a useful step in his development.

Lmao, what you guys talking about? The day time temp is not going to be 5 degrees lol. It'll be a very comfortable 18-20 degrees.

And what wind? Chennai and Mumbai are far windier.

In google it's shows 13/ 5 but in other sites it's 34/17.any how it will be good test of technique and temperament for both jaiswal and jurel.

I don't have a strong memory of that match in 2017 and in general don't have very strong memories of the swing and seam available so I was just going by what Cricinfo says
Another impressive feature is its openness and small-sized stands, which allow for winds to sweep across, giving fast bowlers assistance in the air.
I do love the beauty of the ground though - the backdrop and the quaint way the stands are designed giving some of the local architectural flavor make it easily the most gorgeous ground in the country.

Wasn't it the venue where Australia made 380+ and New Zealand almost chased it down (just checked...yes it was)? No point wasting 3 quicks there then.
 
Dharamsala is known for good carry more than swing and seam. There will be some. But it is still going to be a good surface to bat on.
 
Yashasvi Jaiswal has earned his maiden BCCI central contract following his success for Team India in the 2023/24 season. The left-handed batsman is enjoying a purple patch in international cricket and has been rewarded for his efforts. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are among four players retained in Grade A+ category.
 
The best left-handed batsman in Indo-Pak history.

Better than Ganguly, Saeed, Dhawan, Yuvraj, Pant etc.

He too will be in A+ when the central contracts are renewed next time.
 
Another feather in the cap 700 runs in a single series. Only the second batsman in Indian history to do. Previous two occasions was done by Sunil Gavaskar.
 
Will Ben Stokes say on Sunday '' Lost series but Won hearts '' .
“Made the series exciting and entertaining”

“Motivated India to play aggressively”

“More people watched it than they would have otherwise”

🤡
 
I think we need to wait.. Dhawan was flaying the Australian attack in India and then went south after away tours. Not saying Jais will, but we should wait.

Dhawan would have struggled against Anderson for sure on that wicket. Jaiswal have got much compact technique and he can improve .If u recollect last eng tour of india, Anderson bullied Gill after the gabba innings. Jaiswal was able to hold his fort in 4 matches till now.

Dhawan was a ODI batsman who tried to become good in Tests. But Jaiswal was all along a long format batsman who is yet to play ODI. Ocean of difference in temperament
 
Some of the forceful backfoot shots to the offside are exactly what could hinder him abroad where there could be extra bounce.

I don't think anyone else in the team (including Kohli, Gill) can leave the ball as well as Jaiswal does. That is the biggest requirement to do well overseas.
 
Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 57 (58) on day one of the 5th Test against England and reached the milestone of 1000 runs in Tests. He is the next great Indian batter in the making. This 5-Test series against England has defined the caliber of player he is.

Jaiswal rewrites record books during quick half-century in fifth Test​

Apart from giving his side a healthy start, Jaiswal set several new milestones during day one of the fifth Test match.​


In the fifth and final Test of the ongoing series against England in Dharamsala, India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal fell for a brisk 57 on the opening day.

After England were bowled out for 218 in the first innings, India were off to a solid start in their batting assay. A century partnership between openers Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma helped them to 135 at the end of the day’s play.

Jaiswal's was the only wicket to fall on ay one for India, with the opener dismissed for a quickfire 57. However, he rewrote the record books during the feisty innings.

In the 15th over, he smashed England off-spinner Shoaib Bashir past backward square leg, to bring up 1000 Test runs. This made him the second-fastest India batter to the landmark in terms of innings batted.

1709820895359.png

During this knock, he also became the fastest to 1000 Test runs as an India opener. The next-best is his current opening partner, Rohit Sharma.

Jaiswal had a defensive start, but took off with three sixes in Bashir’s opening over. He finished with three sixes in the innings, and this helped him to a tally of 26 sixes against England. He now has the most Test sixes by an Indian batter against a particular opponent.

Before being dismissed, Jaiswal also managed to cross the 700-run mark for the series. This made him just the second Indian player to score more than 700 Test runs in a Test series. Legendary opener Sunil Gavaskar is the only other player to achieve this feat (twice).

Gavaskar scored 774 runs against the West Indies in his debut series in 1971. In the 1978/79 season, he scored 732 runs at home against the same opposition.

Jaiswal (712 runs) has one more innings to play in the series, and can still overtake Gavaskar for the India record.

He'll get plenty of seasoning before he faces his next big test. Setting aside the T20 stuff in the IPLWorld Cup etc., there are a couple of nice record building tours by habitual bunnies in India - Bangladesh and New Zealand.

He better not get overconfident and develop any bad habits because then comes the cauldron - 5 tests against Australia with them hungry for our blood after losing 4 continuous series to us home and away and not having beaten us in 10 years. Every weakness in his technique will be probed. If he comes out of that looking okay at least (it's his first tour after all), he's our next messiah and Kohli can pass the crown. I can't wait for it.

He has already toured WI so not his first tour
 
Jaiswal has been a remarkable rise in world cricket. People should be praising this young lad for his game. Started his career as a potential all-format player and good at all of those formats as well.

a superstar in making ...
 
What a player. I am genuinely excited to watch him bat like I used to be to watch Viru, and then Pant. I hope this guy remains a humble student of the game and not get carried with all the adulations to think he is bigger than the game.
 
A guy who hates anything with india called jaiswal as an ipl bully.am waiting for his response
 
On the ground, Rohit shared his vast experience with Jaiswal, while off the ground he made sure the youngster stayed away from limelight and kept focusing on his game.Jaiswal told while speaking to a local channel:

"It's so good to have him there inside the dressing room. It has been great to play under him. There are a lot of moments which I don't want to disclose at the moment. Let it be with me. The way he backed players throughout this journey, the way he talks, the way he bats. Whatever happens, he will be there to stand by you. I think it's incredible to see that in your leader. I will keep learning from him."

"I'm really happy to achieve ICC award and I hope I will be getting more in future," Jaiswal said after he was informed about the win."

"It's one of the best and this is my first five-match series series. I really enjoyed it, the way I have played and the way it's been and we won the series by 4-1. It's been an incredible experience with all my mates And I really enjoyed it."
