In the wake of much-publicized rumors of tension, veteran Indian cricketer Ajinkya Rahane is throwing his support behind the promising Yashasvi Jaiswal. Rahane, out of favour, believes Jaiswal's ability to control and attack as an opener will greatly benefit India's upcoming tour of England.
The eagerly anticipated five-match Test series kicks off at Headingley on Friday. Rahane, once a stalwart of the Indian team, shared his optimism for Jaiswal in a recent YouTube video, emphasizing the importance of having a strong opener in England's challenging conditions.
Rahane also foresees significant contributions from star pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. As Shubman Gill steps into the role of Test captain, transitioning from T20 leadership, Rahane acknowledges the challenges but remains hopeful of a successful campaign.
