Cheteshwar Pujara gave a big statement

Let us tell you that before the start of the BGT series, Pujara said in the Star Sports press room – Yashasvi Jaiswal is probably one of the most talented cricketers of India. And I’m sure he has a lot to prove, especially playing overseas. But he will play an important role in this special series. If we have to win this series, his role is going to be most important.

Pujara further said- He is a player who plays aggressive cricket. He can play the same role for India as David Warner played for the Australian team. For us I think his batting will be very important. Even in India, when we were losing the series, when he scored runs, we looked in a strong position.

Also, let us tell you that due to the birth of his second child, captain Rohit Sharma will not be able to play in this match. According to this, either Abhimanyu Easwaran or Devdutt Padikkal can be seen playing in the opening along with Jaiswal.
