but he can play no look shot which jaiswal cantHe does not have the same appetite as Jaiswal.
Follow the history.Who's better and who'll have the better career?
4-5 times better? I mean who is he Don Bradman of white ball cricket?In white ball cricket, Saim Ayub is 4-5 times better than Jaiswal.
Jaiswal is better in Test, however.
4-5 times better? I mean who is he Don Bradman of white ball cricket?
Jaiswal's T20 strike rate is like 160. Oflate he doesn't play T20 much as BCCI is giving chances to new faces. He is still ICC ranked no.74-5 times better? I mean who is he Don Bradman of white ball cricket?
First of all, Yashasvi Jaiswal hasn’t played an ODI yet, so comparing him with Saim Ayub without any basis doesn’t make sense. In T20s, Jaiswal has an average of 36.15. Claiming that someone is 4-5 times better would imply an average of 144.6-180.75. Does Saim Ayub have an average anywhere close to that?Don Bradman of white ball cricket would be Viv Richards.
I didn't say Saim was the Don Bradman of white ball cricket. I said Saim was better than Jaiswal in white ball cricket.
I was talking about Saim Ayub not Yashasvi Jaiswal in my previous commentJaiswal's T20 strike rate is like 160. Oflate he doesn't play T20 much as BCCI is giving chances to new faces. He is still ICC ranked no.7

Jaiswal doesn't even play white ball lmaoJaiswal is ahead. Way way way ahead infact.
However saim can catch up. Gap isn't as high in whiteball as it seems.
In test I don't think saim will catchup. Jaiswal will probs retire as the superior test cricketer.
But jaissu doesn't play white ball.lolDon Bradman of white ball cricket would be Viv Richards.
I didn't say Saim was the Don Bradman of white ball cricket. I said Saim was better than Jaiswal in white ball cricket.
Saim has jumped 48 spots after one innings. Now ranked 57. If he continues he can break into top 10 ranking soon as it is easier to do when you are at the start of your career. But if he wants to grow as a batsman he should temporarily quit T20 and focus on slightly longer formats.I was talking about Saim Ayub not Yashasvi Jaiswal in my previous comment
They are implying when Jaiswal plays he won’t be as goodBut jaissu doesn't play white ball.lol
That’s a sweeping statement. Since his debut, Babar Azam has outperformed most Indian batters except Kohli and Rohit.These kind of comparisons have only one outcome.
Indian batters will always outperform any upcoming Pakistani talent.
Sad but true.
We have seen dozens of comparison threads here.
Umar Akmal vs. Kohli
Ahmed Shehzad vs. Kohli
Umar Amin vs. Rohit Sharma
Haris Sohail vs. KL
Asad Shafiq vs. KL Rahul
And finally Pakistan’s best batsman:
Babar Azam vs. Kohli
Do you see the trend?
They are a batting powerhouse. They’ll always take the lead because of better coaching, culture and local competition.
Pakistan on the other hand often takes the lead when it comes to upcoming bowlers and their comparisons.
Saim Ayub has a lot to prove in ODIs and Tests.
Whiteball includes t20 as well.Jaiswal doesn't even play white ball lmao
He should though soon when fat bum and old bum that lives in uk leave.
Saim’s humbleness could take him places.
Don’t think humble is a word found in many cash rich modern Indian players’ dictionary.
They find the ball coming too slow sometimes
Not sure how you can say that. In the under-19 world cup Jaiswal was the highest run getter. Made an 88 in the u19 wc final. Only guy to score some runs.jaiswal will be a better test and t20 batter but Saim will be better in ODIs. Save this.
You left out the strike rate? Whats his strike rate in List A? That’s maybe why India hasn’t debuted Jaiswal yet in ODIs. He’s more organized and has a superior power game than Saim Ayub today. But it is my hunch based on having seen both play. You have every right to disagree on a prediction lolNot sure how you can say that. In the under-19 world cup Jaiswal was the highest run getter. Made an 88 in the u19 wc final. Only guy to score some runs.

ALso made a 100 against Pakistan in the same U19 world cup. He averages 53 in List A.

Jaiswal's strike rate is 86. He has played less list A than First class. Nothing to do with strike rate. India had Rahul, Rohit sharma, Gill. That is why he couldn't find a spot. THey don't want him to use as a middle order batsman. A guy who has a strike rate of 164 in T20 internationas, 68 in Tests, 67 in first class, 150 in T20 domestic will struggle in strike rate in ODIs? lol He has hit 38 sixes in 17 tests. Has record number of sixes in a single Test series. 26 sixes in one series. Many can't hit that many even in ODI/T20 series.You left out the strike rate? Whats his strike rate in List A?

In a banter between two fast bowlers, a batter had no business getting involved.It was in response Starc's retort to Harshit Rana. Starc said to Rana "i bowl quicker than you" or something like that when starc was batting. At the end of the day first Ganguly then Kohli started this aggression against Australia. Guess what happened to meek captains in Australia. White wash. MS Dhoni, Sachin. Indian players are openly encouraged in dressing room to give it back. Nothing to do with "humbleness".
His modesty during his lean phase wasn’t appreciated, so how now did you come to the conclusion that his humility will take him places?Saim’s humbleness could take him places.
He talks about Siraj making a fool of himself - pottle kettle black momentHis modesty during his lean phase wasn’t appreciated, so how now did you come to the conclusion that his humility will take him places?
Remember, “Saim Ayub, no controversies, no look, no talent”.
I got it wrong about Saim. I accept. Accepting is maturityHis modesty during his lean phase wasn’t appreciated, so how now did you come to the conclusion that his humility will take him places?
Remember, “Saim Ayub, no controversies, no look, no talent”.
This is correct. There are so many shots Saim plays that are reminiscent of SharjeelI see more Sharjeel Khan than Saeed Anwar
I will never be wrong about Rizwan. God is my witness.I got it wrong about Saim. I accept. Accepting is maturity
Waiting for you to accept your shortcomings now.
Yes it was amazing how you predicted disaster for Pakistan under Riz’s captaincy. You also got it spot on about Azam Khan, Asif Ali (future captain) & Sharjeel.I will never be wrong about Rizwan. God is my witness.
Say all you want. At the end of the day, even you know I will be proven right.Yes it was amazing how you predicted disaster for Pakistan under Riz’s captaincy. You also got it spot on about Azam Khan, Asif Ali (future captain) & Sharjeel.
None of them were from really really poor families. They were all struggling I suppose like most of Pakistan in general, but it’s not like there really has been some paupers making their way all to the top.Neither was saqlain. Infact saqlain was way more connected.
Having a high strike rate in one format doesn’t guarantee success in another. For example, Rizwan averages 50 with a strike rate of 130 in T20Is, but if he could replicate that in ODIs, he’d already be an all-time great. That’s just not how it works. As of now, we only have List A data to evaluate. Saim Ayub’s List A strike rate has consistently hovered around 110 with a comparable sample size.Jaiswal's strike rate is 86. He has played less list A than First class. Nothing to do with strike rate. India had Rahul, Rohit sharma, Gill. That is why he couldn't find a spot. THey don't want him to use as a middle order batsman.

Has record number of sixes in a single Test series. 26 sixes in one series. Many can't hit that many even in ODI/T20 series.
Rags to riches is impossible. Their isnt a single rags to riches story on the planet.None of them were from really really poor families. They were all struggling I suppose like most of Pakistan in general, but it’s not like there really has been some paupers making their way all to the top.
There are stories about Mohammad Yousuf being from a very poor background but besides him I’ve not heard or seen much.
And who's denying that? But when it comes to comparison we need stats right?Saim has jumped 48 spots after one innings. Now ranked 57. If he continues he can break into top 10 ranking soon as it is easier to do when you are at the start of your career. But if he wants to grow as a batsman he should temporarily quit T20 and focus on slightly longer formats.
This is the same South Africa that lost to Ireland in an ODI at home and the same team against whom Sanju Samson scored 107 and Tilak Varma played innings of 107 and 120 runs. Recently, the South African team has not been performing well in white-ball cricket.jaiswal will be a better test and t20 batter but Saim will be better in ODIs. Save this.
Losing an ODI to Ireland is irrelevant. SA was missing couple of key bowlers but it’s still a top tier team at home.This is the same South Africa that lost to Ireland in an ODI at home and the same team against whom Sanju Samson scored 107 and Tilak Varma played innings of 107 and 120 runs.

While Saim Ayub deserves credit for his performances, he needs to face more matches against a variety of teams. If he maintains this level of consistency, his stats will eventually prove how talented a batsman he is. As for Yashasvi Jaiswal, he still has a lot to prove as well.
I believe that losing a couple of key players shouldn’t prevent a top-tier team from winning against a minnow at home. But, anyway, we were discussing Saim Ayub’s potential, right? While potential is important, it’s the performance against top-tier teams that truly reveals a player's caliber. Without facing strong opposition, it’s hard to gauge how a player will perform in international cricket. We can talk about a player's potential, but their true value is proven through consistent performances in high-pressure situations against the best.Losing an ODI to Ireland is irrelevant. SA was missing couple of key bowlers but it’s still a top tier team at home.
I rate S Samson and Tilak Varma as top shelf too. India probably has 4-5 Saim level talents if not more.
No one is saying that Saim Ayub is a world legend. The post was about what could be not what is.
Again add some logic to your contextIndian posters like @Shafikapeo wants me to say Jaiswal is better than Saim in ODI cricket.
Last few months have demonstrated Saim is a way better option when it comes to ODI format. As a matter of fact, Jaiswal is yet to make his ODI debut.
Siraj is aggressive towards everyone. Even in IPL, domestic matches he doesn't mind sledging players. He tries to rev himself up by deliberately putting himself in such situation. Whole idea is not to score a point. It is the idea to mess with the ego of player. I remember Mcgrath bowling bouncers to Sachin and if he ducks he will ask him to play pull shot by making a gesture. Siraj did have his moments at the Gabba last time we toured. But now he is down on pace. Not hitting 140k regularly. So it kinda looks silly if the batsman doesn't make mistake.In a banter between two fast bowlers, a batter had no business getting involved.
I liked Ganguly’s aggression. Kohli has never been stupid enough to banter a fast bowler when he was batting.
The newbies of Indian cricket need some education of when to be aggressive. Siraj already made a fool of himself recently.
Having a high strike rate in one format doesn’t guarantee success in another. For example, Rizwan averages 50 with a strike rate of 130 in T20Is, but if he could replicate that in ODIs, he’d already be an all-time great. That’s just not how it works. As of now, we only have List A data to evaluate. Saim Ayub’s List A strike rate has consistently hovered around 110 with a comparable sample size.
I don’t understand the defensiveness here. Acknowledging Jaiswal as top-tier talent doesn’t mean we should assume he’s better than Saim Ayub in ODIs without any evidence. Saim has already delivered two centuries against South Africa’s setup and a match-winning 88 against Australia’s full-strength attack—all in just 10 games. These performances are the kind most Asian batters build their careers around.
I completely agree—Jaiswal is a phenomenal talent, no question about it. When he eventually debuts in ODIs and starts delivering, I’ll be the first to acknowledge his brilliance.Jaiswal by nature is an aggressive batsman. At this point Gill is the one you should compare him with. Gill already has double century in ODI. His strike rate is 101.74 average is 58.20 in ODIs. 6 centuries 13 fifties in 47 matches. 259 fours 52 sixes. For what its worth Jaiswal > Gill. So he is going to out do Gill in ODI format. Even as an 18 year old batsman Jaiswal smashed Hazlewood for 3 sixes scoring 22 runs in one over he announced himself. He has an insane top gear something everyone is aware of. He holds the IPL record for fastest 50 as well. He is not a limited batsman like some of the guys who can be contained.
I completely agree—Jaiswal is a phenomenal talent, no question about it. When he eventually debuts in ODIs and starts delivering, I’ll be the first to acknowledge his brilliance.
Right now, however, it’s all conjecture. The Indian selectors currently seem to think Gill is a superior option, which is why they’re backing them. Gill did have a better List A strike rate than Jaiswal’s. You’re entitled to your opinion, of course, but it’s clear that the Indian cricket leadership has more faith in others for ODIs at the moment.
That's why u were asked to add logic to ur context by all the posters.he scored 53 at 212 SR against aus with in pp .its much higher sr than nepal .Jaiswal is untested at ODI level as he is yet to make his ODI debut. I also believe Jaiswal may not do that great in ODI. He was a slowpoke at U19 World Cup final where India U19 lost to BD U19. Here was the scorecard: https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...-india-under-19s-final-1204722/full-scorecard.
Saim is a far better option when it comes to ODI.
Even in T20, I say Jaiswal's stats are inflated. He scored a 49-ball century against Nepal which boosted his strike-rate. You can see the statistics here: https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/e...re;template=results;type=batting;view=innings.
That’s the story of 95% of these playersThey were not from well to do families and their families could not afford to support their cricket playing ambitions.
I just have the feeling jaiswal will be like head in odi. He will help us win a icc title. Mark my words.Whiteball includes t20 as well.
I can see saim catching up in t20 and when jaiswal plays odi I can see saim being ahead. It'll be difficult though.
Test not a chance.
Anyway with that being said, Saim and jaiswal are technically solid for such young guns. Very rare to see since lots of young bloods aren't technically proficient.
Even brooks has techincal flaws against spin.
Weakest format with a 160sr?I just have the feeling jaiswal will be like head in odi. He will help us win a icc title. Mark my words.
In t20 i dont know. I believe t20 is actually jaissu's weakest format.
I am sorry I just don't see it.They are implying when Jaiswal plays he won’t be as good
Just basing it on what I have seen. I rate him higher in tests and definitely odi. In terms of his skills.Weakest format with a 160sr?
He is a better option than Abhishek to open.
Jaiswal will kill strong bowling attacks in the powerplay. He’s the Samoa Joe of T20 openers.
In Tests he’s on a golden run atm but there will be times when doubts will creep in. Just the nature of the game. Needs to be backed at the time, that’s all it is.Just basing it on what I have seen. I rate him higher in tests and definitely odi. In terms of his skills.
He is thorough and thorough rizbar in every context.cant score out side ,can't score against quality opponents and can't exceed 130 sr in t20s.He has a large pr team to defend him and ridicule every other contender for his spot.In Tests he’s on a golden run atm but there will be Rahul, Raturaj Gaikwad and others who I can’t think of now intend to play in T20s. I despise Gaikwad the most, he is the Indian Rizwan.
Weakest format with a 160sr?

Remove that innings against Nepal and Zimbabwe, his SR stands at 157.51That 160 strike-rate was boosted by his 49-ball century against Nepal and 53-ball 90+ against Zimbabwe.
Check stats.
His international T20 stats are inflated due to playing minnows and depleted sides --> https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/e...re;template=results;type=batting;view=innings.
Next Criteria is ICC tournaments , because he scored slow in u-19 final (Player of the tournament though) he will not be able to play ODIs as Saim -E-Sobers.Remove that innings against Nepal and Zimbabwe, his SR stands at 157.51
Next criteria please?
Link: https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/e...orderby=default;template=results;type=batting
Next U-Turn would be how his average drops when his innings against Nepal and Zimbabwe are taken out, when he was specifically speaking about his SR in particular.Next Criteria is ICC tournaments , because he scored slow in u-19 final (Player of the tournament though) he will not be able to play ODIs as Saim -E-Sobers.
Pretty close to be honest. Both have a lot going on for them and this this comparison will be the one to watch out for unlike some ridiculous comparisons before.Jaiswal is still ahead of saim. Saim has just got his feet in the game. Jaiswal is more established atm. I think Jaiswal will do good in ODIs as well. He needs to be given chance.
jaiswal is a ftb and goes hiding on spinning or seaming wickets
Are we forgetting the England series?if u take out his 161 then he has only scored 22 runs in 5 innings inthe aus series.That 161 was scoerd when the pitch had become as flat as rawalpind and even a struggling vk scored a ton in the nz series when spinning wickeys were produced,he failed miserably.
that was played on flat pitches also,only the hyderabad pitch had a bit of spin in the 4th inningsAre we forgetting the England series?
also forgot to add sa sreies where he could muster 50 runs in 4 inningsAre we forgetting the England series?
But how is that relevant, Saim has failed vs Ban in home conditions and against England too.also forgot to add sa sreies where he could muster 50 runs in 4 innings
But how is that relevant, Saim has failed vs Ban in home conditions and against England too.
Even if Jaiswal hasn’t scored well in SA, that doesn’t make him worse than Saim.
Th160 odd was nade when Australia couldn’t make 300, he did well against the new ball and looked solid throughout the innings.
can u tell me about a single good innings that jaiswal has played when the pitch wasnt flat.he failed against nz,sa and now vs aus apart from that 161 which he scored when the pitch had turned into a phatta,he has nothing to show and he couldnt even cross single digit scores in the remaining inninigsBut how is that relevant, Saim has failed vs Ban in home conditions and against England too.
Even if Jaiswal hasn’t scored well in SA, that doesn’t make him worse than Saim.
