I think that after this series he will completely establish himself in the Indian Test team – statement of the former veteran cricketer.
Jaiswal, who scored 171 runs in his debut match against West Indies, could score only 50 runs during the recently concluded two-Test series in South Africa. In this series, Shubman Gill, Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer were able to score only 74, 60 and 41 runs respectively. Gavaskar also backed Shreyas Iyer to repeat the 2023 ODI World Cup success in the upcoming Test series. They said that, “In the World Cup, Shreyas Iyer batted brilliantly on Indian pitches, so I expect him to play like this at No. 5 in the Test series as well. He batted aggressively, was very cautious in the beginning and then added strokes later on. The pitch was a pleasure to read. I hope he repeats it.” In the 2023 ODI World Cup, Shreyas Iyer scored 530 runs in 11 innings, scoring two centuries and three half-centuries. The middle-order batsman has scored 707 runs in 12 Test matches at an average of 39.28, which includes one century and five fifties.
