These days you need all kinds of players in your team, who are fearless, who are alert and who are responsible as well – Rohit Sharma
Indian captain Rohit Sharma expects Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel to be successful in all three formats of the game. Especially for Jaiswal, who is the second leading run-scorer in the ongoing World Test Championship. Jaiswal scored 1028 runs in nine matches at an average of 68.53, which is an excellent figure.
On the other hand, Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel performed significantly for India in their last Test series against England. In view of that, both of them have got a place in the team for the Test series against Bangladesh. However, after the return of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, their place in the playing eleven is not confirmed.
Rohit hopes that they will become top players for India in the future. He also said that all three are clear about their targets and are hungry to perform well for India.
The Indian captain said a big thing about Jurel, Sarfaraz and Jaiswal
You don’t need to talk much to them. They are all new to Test cricket – Jaiswal, Jurel and Sarfraz. We have seen what they can do with the bat. They have everything that is needed to become a top player for India in all three formats, Rohit said in the press conference.
“Over time we have to prepare them and keep talking to them, which we will do. I think they know what they have to do. They are very hungry to play for India and they are also hungry for success,” he said.
Rohit further said, when we played last time (against England), Jaiswal did very well in the series. Jurel showed what he can do with the bat. Sarfaraz too – fearless, did not worry much about what will happen outside. These days you need all kinds of players in your team, who are fearless, who are cautious and at the same time responsible. I think we have a mix of this, which is a good sign.
