India’s win in the third Test against England in Rajkot not only marked their biggest win in terms of runs, but also gave them a 2-1 lead in the five-match Test series. India finished the match in four days and won by a huge margin of 434 runs. Although many players contributed to the team’s victory in this match, but at the moment most of the talk is about Yashasvi Jaiswal.
At Rajkot, Jaiswal’s brilliant unbeaten double century laid the foundation for India’s emphatic win, setting England a mammoth target of 557 runs. Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra praised Jaiswal’s performance and talked about the young player’s excellent grip on the game.
Aakash Chopra praised Yashasvi Jaiswal fiercely
Aakash Chopra said in a video on his YouTube channel, “Jaiswal is a wonderful person. He had already scored a century, he also hit a double century – 214 not out off 236 balls, what a player. He is playing at a different level. Despite back pain, he hit 12 sixes.
He equaled the world record of Wasim Akram. He has just started playing cricket, this was his seventh test match and in this he has scored two double centuries and a score of 171. “It would have reminded you a bit about the beginning of Vinod Kambli’s career.”
The former opener further said, “He reminds you a bit of Vinod Kambli at the beginning of his career. He was also a left-handed batsman who played spin very well. Jaiswal also plays spin very well. Of course, due to some off-field issues, Kambli’s career did not progress the way it should have.”
However, Chopra expressed confidence that Jaiswal’s career would be quite different from his. He understands the DNA of the game. He hit three sixes in one over off Jimmy Anderson. Once he reached 180, he said he would not rush. He is not satisfied with the century.”
