Yashasvi Jaiswal: Rising Star of Indian Test Cricket Shines Abroad

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has commended Yashasvi Jaiswal for his significant impact in Test cricket beyond Asian subcontinent boundaries. His prowess in handling challenging pitches, owing to a late response to the ball and effective footwork, stands out, particularly across South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia.

Jaiswal's Test career began with a remarkable start against the West Indies in 2023, and he has since showcased his adaptability across difficult terrains, manifesting in substantial runs, including in South Africa, his inaugural overseas tour. Despite initial hurdles, his performances against England at home set the stage for future prospects.

In the Border-Gavaskar series in Australia, Jaiswal's fearless exchanges with bowling greats, coupled with a solid run tally, captured attention. His debut century in England further cements his growing reputation as a dependable opener. Manjrekar also highlighted Rahul and Jaiswal's promising partnership as a breakthrough for India's opening lineup, emphasizing its rarity and potential consistency.
