[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Yashasvi Jaiswal - Outstanding Indian batter

Jaiswal has positioned himself as one of the brightest talents in Indian cricket. Now, he has set his sights on a monumental goal breaking the long-standing record for most Test runs by an Indian in a calendar year, held by none other than the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.

Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 1,562 Test runs, achieved in 2010, has remained unbroken for 14 years. No Indian batter has come close to surpassing this achievement despite numerous attempts. However, Jaiswal’s current form suggests he might just be the one to etch his name in Indian cricket history.

Jaiswal has already accumulated 929 Test runs in 2024 across nine matches, leaving him just 634 runs short of breaking Tendulkar’s record. With seven more Test matches lined up for India this year, the young opener has ample opportunity to make history.
 
One of the biggest mystery is , Jaiswal is yet to make ODI debut.
I think jaiswal won't be let in the odi till Rohit is there.jaiswal will score atleast a 150 or 200 for fun in his first 5 matches for sure and it will put high pressure on rohit.if they remove Gill,the vice captain and young player for rohit ,it looks dumb and idiotic .Already Sai Sudharshan showed excellence in south Africa tour as an opener on spicy wickets against burger. Jaiswal should be in rohit place and sai in kohli.
 
Jaiswal can even break Mohammad Yousaf's record as well. NO???

Tough given that Aussie tour can go either way. Generally Indian noobs do well in Australia. Gill, Agarwal, Pant, Thakur everyone scored runs seamlessly in their first tour to Australia. Failure starts in second tour usually.

They were unknown quantity when mayank etc played .

But now Australia know that jaiswal is biggest threat for then the way he is performing so they will Target his weak zone .

Jaiswal isn't your usual 10 test newbie. There will be substantial homework done on him down under even before he boards a plane.

He struggled a little on moving lifting deliveries outside off in SA. I hope he has worked on getting on top of ball.

yes True. Plays in the IPL as well.
 
Out of 11 aus players, 9 players especially all the bowlers marked jaiswal as the next big thing from India. Lyon even said he had a quite discussion about him with English spinners.so jaiswal better be prepared for the stern test as everyone saw how Aussies made fool out of babar.

Yes ,Jaiswal and pant they rate very High . Now jaiswal has to deliver in australia and win the series for india .

This is going to be bowlers friendly series and avarage score around 280-300.
 
Can someone explain the damping coeff. used in ratings. I know that till Jaiswal plays 20 test matches his true rating will be reduced by using a damping coeff. I had read it was 20% but with his current rating of 792 will make his hidden rating nearly 990. That's not possible. Can someone correct me here?

Magic sauce that places more value on current performance which makes sense. I mean, if the algorithm did not degrade the past performance in a calibrated manner, we'd still have Sachin, Lara etc dominating the charts.

If they make it extremely seaming tracks then bumrag and shami will average 15.

If it's flat with some help for bowlers then 20 to 25.
 
Ahead of 2nd Test against New Zealand

Yashasvi Jaiswal is 4 sixes away from equaling the most sixes in a calendar year in Test cricket
 
Yashasvi Jaiswal has the highest percentage of runs in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle

Jaiswal , Gill, Sarfaraz, Washington, Pant can easily form a good team for our test future.
Let’s see if management makes that call, they are fearless as well.

Am not sure about sarfaraz. He never performed in indian bowling pitches too(Ranchi,bng 1st innings,Pune).Will wait to see him more especially in sena .I will like to see jurel at 5 .He is a fighter and more compact.Gill will be thoroughly challenged in Aus.It will be the differentior between him and Jaiswal for the next gen bragging rights.
 
Extremely valuable knock this so far. Priceless opening stand with Rahul bhaiya.
 
Brilliant from this young guy.

He’s broken the world record.
 
Speaking to the broadcasters, Sunil Gavaskar hailed Jaiswal as a special player who is hungry for runs:

"This boy is special. Where he has come from, the way he has been batting, the way he has been handling things."

"Against England, he scored more than 700 runs in 5 Tests with 2 double hundreds earlier in the year. He looks so hungry for runs, which is what you want. We as batters used to say, I want a hundred. He says, let me get a 150 or a 200."

"He is hungry for runs and that's exactly what Indian cricket needs. A left-hander, who at the top of the order can create problem for the bowlers. He brings a completely different perspective. He loves to play his shots, and isn't an ultra watchful batter. He will play his shots."

"Yashasvi Jaiswal has the cricketing world at his feet."
 
Very good knock by the young opener. Early days, but he seems to like playing big knocks.
 
I hope sunny or manjrekar (being Mumbaikars) shadows jaiswal in bgt and help his technical glitches.
 
A test century in Australia on his first tour down under. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A class effort
 
Yashasvi Jaiswal in the list of greats.

A Test century in their maiden tour to AustraliaView attachment 147987


So true.
Australia has always been the great filter for Bharatiya batters. Whoever proved themselves there usually turned out to be a great long term player for us. Hoping the trend continues with Jaiswal
 
I hope sunny or manjrekar (being Mumbaikars) shadows jaiswal in bgt and help his technical glitches.
I am not sure what technical glitches he has. He is probably one of the most technically sound batsman in the world. I have never seen Indians playing right under eye in a long time. Guys like Gill, Kohli always throw the hands at the ball.

There's not many questions left but we'll have to see when he faces a barrage of short balls at Adelaide and the Gabbar.

Fox showed a stats of his issues against left arm pacers before his dismissal in first innings. It was around 8 runs per dismissal and he always struggles at 4th wicket line against them.in a nut shell, it was his first innings dismissal and he had few soft edges in second innings too.But he is one of the most old fashioned test players ,so definitely he can improve and I hope he achieves big.

I don't think he will have severe test against the shortballs in Adelaide. It's test against swing,seam.
 
A good thing in this inning was that Jaiswal worked on his mistake in the first inning. He learned from that mistake and make few tweaks to score that fabulous ton.

If you check Alistair cook and every other boring batsman they will also have some minor quirks. This guy's basic is solid. Temperament is sound. If he seriously decides not to get out he can do.

He just has to leave it. Ponting, Rohit, Smith they have all succumbed to barrage of short pitch balls because of ego.

I was disappointed with him in nz series.After eng series it was a huge let-down. Will wait for bgt and eng series in July.

I was pissed off at temperament not technique. Playign reverse sweep against left arm spinner, lot of stupid shots. Otherwise he is way better than gill technically lot of experienced batsmen.
 
What a player. WHATTTT A PLAYERRR

Most 150-plus scores before turning 23

8 - Don Bradman

he was thinking he can score like t20 batsmen and things were taken granted .I was pissed he was not able to correct himself even in one innings. He got too egoistic to get stuck and score.He has much better technique among the young crop In the world.

I have seen him from first class days watching whatever match i could. His biggest plus is temperament. He was absolutely spot on about which ball to play, which ball to leave. that is his strength. He lost for a while after he started playign t20. he has retained his temperament now.

I have also followed his trajectory once bishop marked him for the future great/very good indian superstar in making .(2020 under 19 wc prior to semis i believe).He has grown in stature and I hope it remains so.
 
Hats off to Yashasvi Jaiswal

Scoring 161 runs off 297 balls, including 15 fours and 3 sixes, in his debut Test in Australia. His remarkable resilience and determination in Perth were truly outstanding, making it an innings to remember for Jaiswal.
 

Boom baby-faced opener is India’s answer to Warner​


Just as Australia look to find answers in their David Warner-less side, India may have discovered a Warner of their own
When David Warner retired last summer, Australia knew full well how difficult it would be to replace him even accounting for a lean final few years of his Test career.

"There's not another David Warner out there," coach Andrew McDonald said after the opener signed off with a quick-fire half-century at the SCG in January. "The ability to put pressure back onto the bowler all the time – it was a joy to watch in his final innings."

Australia have since trialled two more circumspect batters to fill Warner's shoes; Steve Smith for four Tests and then Nathan McSweeney to begin this summer.

If they had wanted a reminder of why a Warner-esque opener had held such appeal, they got it across days two and three of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series opener. Yashasvi Jaiswal might be the closest to Warner his former teammates will see.

These are early days in the young Indian’s career, but after 28 Test innings he finds himself right next to Warner on the list of the most aggressive openers since the latter's debut in 2011. Only Chris Gayle (70.85), Virender Sehwag (83.70) and Ben Duckett (86.47) have scored quicker than Warner (70.42) and Jaiswal (67.84) among openers over that period.

1732454658732.png

By those standards, Jaiswal's fourth Test ton and first Down Under was relatively serene. His 161 came at a strike-rate of 54.21.

Yet Jaiswal's approach had clear hallmarks of his attacking instincts. His flicked six off Starc and the ramp to bring up triple figures off Josh Hazlewood will be the strokes fans remember. The first saw Jaiswal break Brendon McCullum’s record for the most sixes hit in a calendar year. But it ran deeper than that.

In a knock lasting more than seven hours, Jaiswal took his chances on a pitch that demanded an element of risk-taking to succeed. He played and missed 26 times (per Opta), close to 10 per cent of the 297 deliveries he faced, while Usman Khawaja put him down on 51.

In between, he peppered the boundaries with enterprising off-side strokes and showed a feisty side, both traits of Warner’s. On commentary for SEN, ex-India coach Ravi Shastri drew parallels between the pair. Jaiswal dared Marnus Labuschagne to risk overthrows by pinging at his stumps and told Mitchell Starc he was "too slow".

Warner was brash in his younger days; Jaiswal is less so. Speaking to reporters at stumps, Jaiswal in fact professed his reverence for Starc, who is 12 years his senior.

"It's amazing to play such great bowlers, playing against them in his home country," he told reporters. "It’s always special to score a hundred against (some of) the best in the world.

"When I was a small kid I was seeing Starc bowling so I wanted to go and enjoy batting (against) him and enjoy his bowling. He bowled really well, he was bowling really quick."

Like Warner, Jaiswal first made his name in the shortest format.

The baby-faced leftie was a star for Rajasthan Royals well before he came on the radar of India's Test side. But, also like Warner who averaged close to 60 in first-class cricket when he made his Test debut, Jaiswal's long-form credentials did not take long to materialise.

By the time he played his first Test in the Caribbean last year, Jaiswal had scored nine first-class centuries from 26 innings. It has helped in developing his ability to flick between gears; in Perth, he went from attack to defence, and back again, as Australia searched for a vulnerability.

"We cycled through a few plans," said Hazlewood. "He batted really well, he's a good player. He batted well. We hung it outside off for a bit with an off-side field. We tried straight, we tried the bouncers – we tried a lot of things. He negated everything."

Jaiswal already had scored more than 1,000 runs in this calendar year before arriving in Australia, but there were question marks over whether his technique was suited to the southern hemisphere.

The leanest series of his short career came at the beginning of this year in South Africa where he averaged just 12.50 from four innings, finding the extra bounce of the home seamers a difficult adjustment from the low pitches he grew up on.

But in the days between India's series defeat to New Zealand and their departure for Australia, Jaiswal underwent a crash course. He faced hours of throwdowns at a stadium on the outskirts of Mumbai batting on a pitch with a concrete slab placed on an incline.

"The concrete slab was kept at short of length and he faced roughly around 200 overs across two days before he left for Australia," Zubin Bharucha, the director of cricket at Rajasthan Royals, told the Press Trust of India.

The icing on the cake was India's extra lead-in time in the Western Australia capital before the first Test, preparing at the WACA Ground which boasts a reputation for having the bounciest conditions in the country.

"I knew that there would be wickets like this. The senior players have been telling (me) how it is going to be," said Jaiswal.

"We had a really nice camp before this game and we were prepared. We were playing on the same kind of wickets, we were having the same kind of mindset on how we can score on these kinds of wickets."

For Australian fans who watched their side’s top order whittle away before stumps on Sunday, those are ominous words.

 
Head is overhyped based on few good innings.

He is good but wannabe fans are hyping him too much .
He is the best, plain and simple. First become a player = to head before critiquing the God.

I critise certain players because ik fir a fact that if I had been a cricketer I'd easily be > them.

But for head? I think not
 
Guys like Kohli, Gill are not as technically sound as this guy.

You have a point there but wrt Kohli let’s not forget he’s a veteran legend for us and has been doing this for one and half decade. 81 international centuries everywhere in the world. Tough times are never far away and he’s seen many of those in phases.

so you think you'd have been better than jaisawal if you had chosen to become a cricketer?

LMAO.

Suggestion: Stay in school and stay off drugs

I'd be superior to Ashwin, Jadeja and Laxman 100% that much ik.
 
Regardless jaoswal is an amazing talent and will surpass Travis head.

I just hate those chawals who think jaiswal is already am atg and is >> the planet.

He is not better then Travis head atm. Even if he outperforms him in this series.

But he will probs surpass him in a few years.

love hearing such delusions. Makes me feel better about India's chances in south asia with all its issues

Objectively, Travis head, you are cleebrating Travus head for 2 innings. 1 in the and the WTC and other in the WC final

I'll give the WC. OTOH, there has been plenty of heroics from Aus of the past in WC final Punter in 2003 comes to mind.

If you want to give special consideration to WTC, thats your call. I don't.

I do question in your thought proocess in comparing a cricketer in his 30's (a journeyman until the 2023) with a 22 year old.

Don't get me wrong, I love having people with such thought process as my rivals and adversaries.

I don't want him to be next Kohli or anything. He is our first Jaiswal. Baton passed. Original anointed player to take over supposed to be Shubman Gill. We thought Gill turned a corner in 2023 with so much runs across the formats. But Jaiswal has clearly overtaken. Gill has an aura about him as well. But his technical glitches far more exploitable. If he fixes them he can go head to head with Jaiswal.

I don't live in pakistan. I live in the land down under and talent is around every corner over here.

The likes of me and Usman Khawaja are God sends to pak cricket.

There were several discussions on fox sports about the future of promising talents that are waiting in the wings. Vaughan repeatedly raised that point. Who are the guys that are waiting to replace this unit? THere was no clear answer from former cricketers.

The thing is, Aussoe cricket has a fantastic domestic structure. Techniques and skills are refined at a young age.

However yes talent wise it's dried up a bit.
 
No, I got better things to do. But I stand by what I said it. Put me in cricket and the likes of laxman, Ashwin and Jadeja would be forgotten very quickly
Hope you are joking? Laxman has outperformed many Aus batsmen in Aus itself, are you saying you are better than Aus batsmen?
