[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Yashasvi Jaiswal - Outstanding Indian batter

The best left-handed batsman in Indo-Pak history.

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

As an Indian, it is hard to judge now, only time can tell.
Yashasvi can be compared to a left handed Muhammad Yousuf(Yohana), has has a glorious year so far and plays well on slow pitches. He needs to reinvent himself in SENA, he is susceptible to the moving ball.

Saeed Anwar - This guy was something else at peak.
Ganguly - average batsman, greatest test captain we have had.
Dhawan - doesnt belong to any list
Yuvraj - won us 2 world cups, and hence will be remembered forever as an india great.
Pant - Brisbane knock - won us a test series in Australia, will go down as a great.

There is zero resemblance between him and Moyo. This guy hits the first ball from a left arm spinner in the 2nd over for a six. Created a history for hitting maximum sixes in one series. CLosest in terms of approach is Sehwag. Everybody is susceptible to moving ball. He leaves the ball better than Kohli.
 
During the Test match series at home against England, he was unstoppable, but now in the IPL, he can't seem to find a start.

Don't mind this one bit if he keeps prospering in international cricket.
 
After his duck out, Even Clarke was suggesting jaiswal should give a couple of deliveries to check before the blast.

I personally don't care if he keeps doing well in international cricket, specially Tests.

I will care till t20 wc and later we should be good.As per Samson,jaiswal bats and bats for hours till he breaks net bowlers.( in last 3,4 years) .so i hope jaiswal won't put extra pressure on himself and make more issues after few failures.
 
A determined half century from Yashasvi Jaiswal made the chase look easy for Rajasthan Royals. He is currently playing on 87 runs off just 48 deliveries.
 
Jaiswal scored a century against Mumbai Indians helping his team win the game comfortably with an unbeaten 104 off 60 deliveries.
 
Change of fortunes for Jaiswal as he tips Shubman Gill to make it to the final squad of team India for T20 WC 2024.
 
Jaiswal played a decent knock of 67(40) against SRH, not that explosive as he used to be. But it appears that pitch of Rajiv Gandhi Stadium has something to do with it.
 
He is a good talented player but dropping Shubman Gill to accomodate Jaiswal is not justified.

Gill is another player who struggles to score quickly. He is not adept like Kohli to take quick singles either.

India already have 2 slow accumulators in Rohit and Kohli. They cannot afford to carry one more in the Top 4.

If 3 out of the batsmen at the top are striking around 130, that team will never score past 160.

Gill's SR is 147+ in T20Is which is good enough to be a part of any wc team, for instance if rohit, jaiswal or kohli any one of them get injured so who probably could replace them from the current squad?

Gill.. he's in reserve list who'll travel along with wc squad..
 
Both should be there. Not the seniors.
No, You guys(Selectors) missed a trick by not including rinku Singh. Good call on sanju however.

Gill on current form does not warrant a place over the seniors. Kohli atm even in current age is superior to him.

After dengue he lost power game and he seems a bit too accustomed to test atm. He is not ready for t20 until full recovery.

Gill is young, so dw, no need to become Pakistan and send people to their early graves.

Yes RInku should be there as well. India is the only team that has 4 spiinners.
 
Our talented captain said he will reveal the top secret of chahal selection in us upon landing.waiting for that e=mc2 moment
Can't wait to see that. It is most likely going to be another WC final moment. Anything they plan invariably backfires. Some other spinner is going to roll this team over.
 
this thread is about jaiswal if you look at the topic. Why we should be discussing indian squad here?

Jaiswal is currently the best batter in the indian team IMO. Suryakumar in not having that good of an IPL but Jaiswal is looking dangerous in every game.
 
While speaking to local Indian media, West Indies legendary batter Brian Lara said:

"If I feel my records are threatened, (Yashasvi) Jaiswal has a very good chance to do so. He has the capabilities, with a couple of double hundreds already. He is that good."

I don't think anyone can beat his record. For one thing not team will bat that long. Unless you want to draw the match from the outset.

I can imagine an unlikely but possible 1st inning score in Rajkot of 750 in 150 overs with Jaiswal carrying his bat to 400 NO. :lara
 
I guess he will open the innings with Rohit Sharma today against Ireland

A half century in just 29 balls by Jaiswal against Zimbabwe in 4th T20i. A blistering knock in the run chase by the youngster.

Too easy for Yashasvi Jaiswal

This is the same Zimbabwe team against which Bobby never dares to rest himself.

Same team against which Pakistan always plays it's A Team.
:facepalm

This innings will put pressure on rohit and selectors for jaiswal inclusion in odis .Jaiswal and Gill should be the openers for next odi wc.
 
Scary batsman. Won't be surprised if he's rated as the best batsman in the world after a couple of years
 
Did he just travel after winning the cup and came and smacked these many runs? lol Bro please dont lost ur head playing against Zim
 
He is a good player and he should be playing ahead the likes of Ruturaj etc. I don't understand why would you bench a guy like him.
 
No batter has scored more runs in first over than Jaiswal in T20Is since 2023.

Most runs in the first over in T20Is since 2023:

110 - Yashasvi Jaiswal
101 - Rahmanullah Gurbaz
96 - Finn Allen
87 - Brendon King

A welcome change compared to past horrors of KL as an opener.
 
And 2023 world cup. He was ready for that as well. SKY was needlessly backed.
He could have easily been placed in the playing XI in place of Shivam Dube and Virat Kohli could have been sent to 3rd position. But still it's all good for India as they were able to win the trophy.
 
Yash is not going to feature in Champions Trophy for sure else he'd be playing in ODIs this tour. It's pretty clear that one of Rohit and Kohli have to be pushed out before he gets his due - long overdue. Gill has earned his place as an opener so I wouldn't say Gill is blocking Yashaswi's spot.

Although, if Gambhir can convince Kohli to drop down one place then we might have a workable solution. But this move would make a martyr out of Kohli if he fails to perform.

Gill, Pant, KL in one batting lineup along with two old heads doesn’t sound too promising.

We really need players proving themselves as middle order batters. Everyone is an opening candidate.

Iyer, KL are as bad as people have been saying. One bad final doesn’t make them awful they both had a good tournament. A very good one.

I see the name KL. My mood off. Why is he still in the scheme of things. He is bad omen for us. Sooner they realize is the better.

It's barely been 6 months since Rohit and Kohli were the best devastating batters in a subcontinental tournament and a couple of months since they played a role in us winning an ICC tournament after years and I'm surprised to see people talking about pushing them out.

I think we have to make space for a spin hitter like Iyer in that line-up. Also can we really afford to play 4 bowlers and Hardik in ODIs? I'm not at all confident he can bowl a full 10. We have to fit in someone like Dube/Sundar/Parag who can chip in with 3-4 or else sacrifice depth and play 5 bowlers + Hardik at 6.

Iyer is junk grade.

OTOH, KL has been absolutely fine in the MO. Pant is not a worry in ODIs either. In fact, KL and Pant would make for a versatile MO capable of rescue jobs as well as going hell for leather.

Kohli and Rohit departing could free up room for both Parag and Jaiswal in the XI.

I would look at 2027 after we're past the Champions Trophy.

For now we need to build out the best team to give us a chance of winning next year and Rohit, Kohli are key to that.

Jaiswal's time will come. I'm very tempted to pick him over Gill on current form plus left-handedness but that would just be too unfair to Gill who was probably close to the best ODI batter in the world leading up to the World Cup.

what about the age of rohit and kohli.they are not getting younger for the odi wc 27.why should we let rohit as an opener at the age of 40 (27wc) instead of a very good young prodigy?.Kohli will also have prove his worth at age of 38 and compete with young talent like sai sudarshan. As Steve Waugh will say we dont want to continue our glorious present (past in this case )we want to build a much better future for the survival.we should be ruthless for the team but not for individuals


We can not expect 150 plus scores from either of them .Others have to score big for them now.
 
Kohli's numbers in WC23 flatter his actual contribution. His failure in final was not a surprise.

His knock in semi was a proper match losing one. We survived the scare thanks to Rohit, Gill, and KL at the end. He's done in ODIs as well.
 
Top orders - Rohit, Jaiswal, Gill, Kohli
#4 and #5 - Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson
#6 -8 - Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag, Abhishek Sharma, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana
#9-11 - Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj, Mohammad Shami, Prasidh Krishna

Yeah, no.

Parag can bowl but that does not make him a lower order bat. He's a proper 4/5.

What if Hardik is injured? Nowadays, everyone scores aggressively so picking Parag at 6 isn't a bad choice, just more cushion with bat. Can he hit tons consistently? We don't know hence I would consider him at 5 or 6 and depending on form and his performance, he can move up.
 
I see the name KL. My mood off. Why is he still in the scheme of things. He is bad omen for us. Sooner they realize is the better.

Pant, Gill, Rinku, Sky are very exciting for T20 cricket but none of them has shown the temperament to be a reliable ODI batter except little bit from Sky.

Rahul can hold one end with ease from 10-45 overs and when needed he can accelerate. One bad final has irked too many people. He’s not as bad as he’s being made out to be. People forget for how he bailed us out in Asia Cup vs Pakistan, in fact our opener vs Australia in the World Cup itself KL bailed us out.

Dump him or whatever but at least give the spot to someone deserving. At the moment I don’t see a lot of batters with a better claim to middle order spots than both Iyer and Rahul.
 
We had a team that literally went undefeated to the final few months ago and we have people asking for surgeries. I’m sorry but that’s now how things just run.

Gill would have to be a floater for now it seems as Jaiswal seems to be doing much better as an opener.

Well no one would like to fix something which is working. If Rohit and Kohli fail to perform consistently in ODIs, they'll be replaced definitely.
But in WC23 whole team contributed well to make to the final. It wasn't our day.
 
Warning:

Guys this thread is to discuss Yashasvi Jaiswal not to suggest Playing XI.
 
Well no one would like to fix something which is working.
An Aussie selection committee would have totally thrown both of them.we will react forever thinking pr disaster and safety.unless jaiswal puts pressure on Gill by out scoring him, selection committee will not react.

Jaiswal is an unbelievable player and deserves a place in the team, that I agree.
 
Yashasvi Jaiswal has the highest aggregate in Tests by any batter in 2024

j9Cyo9w.png
 
During the India tour of Australia, Nathan Lyon will be after him, and that will be a real test for Yashasvi Jaiswal, which will define the direction of his career.
 
Yashasvi Jaiswal speaking during an interview:

"Yes, I have spoken with him during the Sri Lanka series. He really backed us saying just go out and play freely and enjoy the game and we will be with you. It gives us a lot of confidence and helps us to play fearlessly."

"I am working hard at nets ahead, first for the Duleep Trophy and then for the Bangladesh series. It's not about setting personal goals, as you know in cricket you have to be consistent and keep working on your skills.”

"Domestic tournaments like Duleep Trophy and Irani Trophy are very important games and it gives me a lot of confidence and helps me prepare for those (international) games."

"I try to remain in my zone and contribute to the team's winning cause. You get to learn a lot of things in tournaments like Duleep Trophy and it is very good for you to play such intense games ahead of a Test series.”
 
Yashasvi Jaiswal said it was an incredible experience batting with captain Rohit Sharma, during an interaction with the media:

“It has been an incredible experience to open the innings with Rohit Sharma. He always shares his experience with me and understands different wickets. Rohit is always spot on and there are a lot of things to learn from him. You can adjust your batting on bouncy and turning tracks by looking at how Rohit Sharma bats. You can also change your wicket in case of fall of early wickets.”

“I play according to scenarios and change my approach for the team. It also depends on the situation. I think these things have played a big role in my career in the last one year."

“When I was playing domestic matches, I was not aware about these important aspects of the game. But since I have started playing international cricket, the reading of the game has improved. I want to keep learning.”
 
The Indian opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal remains enthusiastic about taking part in the domestic tournaments, he said:

“It’s a great opportunity whenever we have the chance to play the Duleep or Ranji Trophy. I’m really looking forward to that, and I hope I’ll enjoy my game. I’ll try my best.”

“Every match is important because of the World Test Championship. You have to make sure you give your best as every win counts. Any opportunity to play for India is incredible, and representing the country is the biggest motivation that I have,”

“I have worked hard to keep up my form and continue to do so to ensure I maintain it. The more consistent I stay with my practice and preparation; my results will improve,”

“On maintaining consistency as a player, “I don’t overthink, I just need to prepare well and keep improving myself as a player. The more I repeat these steps, the better I’ll get.”
 
Yashasvi Jaiswal needs 132 more runs to surpass Ajinkya Rahane's record for most runs by an Indian batter in a single WTC cycle. He is also chasing Joe Root's overall lead in the current WTC cycle, needing 371 runs to overtake him.

I think he is going to dominate this series as well.
 
This outstanding batter keeps on scoring more runs.

Another 50 for him in Test cricket in the 1st inning of the 1st test match against Bangladesh.

Consistency is the key and he is the key holder.
 
Most runs after the first 10 Tests:

1446 - Don Bradman (Australia)
1125 - Everton Weekes (West Indies)
1102 - George Headley (West Indies)
1094 - Yashasvi Jaiswal (India)
1088 - Mark Taylor (Australia)
Previous Indian record: 978 by Sunil Gavaskar

Jaiswal scored a good 51 off 45 balls in the 2nd inning while chasing 95 against Bangladesh in the 2nd Test match.

Yashasvi Jaiswal becomes the second Indian, after Virender Sehwag, to score fifties in both innings with a strike rate of over 100!
 
Yashasvi Jaiswal is the first Indian opener in the 92-year history of the game in the country to slam two half-centuries achieve this feat in both innings of a Test match against Bangladesh.

Jaiswal now has eight 50+ scores in this calendar year. It is the most by an Indian batter at home in a single calendar year. Before Jaiswal, Gundappa Viswanath (1979), Virender Sehwag (2010), Cheteshwar Pujara (2016), KL Rahul (2017) held the joint record of most 50-plus scores - seven- in a calendar.
