In the past, Jaiswal has also been compared with Tendulkar and Bradman.
Whenever a young player performs brilliantly in the cricket world, he gets compared with many former great players. So something similar is currently happening with the young opening batsman of the Indian team, Yashasvi Jaiswal.
It is noteworthy that Jaiswal’s bat is speaking strongly in the ongoing Test series against England. In the second Test match held in Vizag, he played a quick match-winning innings of 209 runs, whereas even before this he had played short but fast innings.
Also, after this performance, he started being compared with former legends Sachin Tendulkar and Don Bradman. However, now former Indian opener Virender Sehwag, popularly known as the Nawab of Najafgarh, has given a big statement on comparing this player with former greats.
Virender Sehwag gave a big statement regarding Jaiswal
It is noteworthy that Sehwag is known for his unique and outspoken style in the cricket world. Sehwag said in a conversation with Hindustan Times from Dubai – He (Yashaswi Jaiswal) is a very good batsman but I think it is too early to make comparisons.
From this statement given by Sehwag, you can guess that it is too early to include Jaiswal in the category of greats, but he is a great batsman. Regarding this issue, former Indian player and cricket commentator Gautam Gambhir has said many times that –
I want to congratulate this young player for his achievement, but more importantly, I want to tell everyone to let this young player play. We have seen in the past that in India we have a habit, especially the media, of exaggerating their achievements and tagging them and making them look like heroes.
