Who is this young couple?
Robin Uthappa praised Team India’s young opening pair Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal and said that the game of these two reminds him of Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar. However, the pair of Shubman and Yashasvi have not been seen together in the ODI format so far, but they are making a splash in the T20 format. Let’s know what he said-
‘When I see them together in the field, I remember Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar. They used to come together in the field. During this time, their game seemed to complement each other. Their strategies complemented each other. This is what I see now with these two batsmen when they are batting in the field.’
Yashasvi Jaiswal will soon get a chance in ODI format- Robin Uthappa
Also, Uthappa said that Yashasvi Jaiswal will get a chance to bat in ODI matches as well. Jaiswal, who has played 22 T20 matches so far, has not yet appeared in a single ODI match. On this, he said-
“When Jaiswal gets a chance to play ODI cricket, I think he will secure that place very quickly. Because after Test cricket and T20 cricket, ODI cricket will become very easy for him because Jaiswal is capable of scoring runs all the time.”
Yashasvi Jaiswal Career
Yashasvi has played a total of 9 Test and 23 T20 international matches so far. His bat has produced runs at an average of 68.53 in Tests and 36.15 in T20s. Yashasvi has 4 centuries and 9 half-centuries to his name in both formats combined.
