Virender Sehwag gave a surprising statement on comparison of opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal with legends.

In the past, Jaiswal has also been compared with Tendulkar and Bradman. Virender Sehwag and Yashasvi Jaiswal (Image Credit- Twitter) 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.

‘My average is 60’ Steve Smith’s big statement came out after criticism of the opening spot in Test cricket

I have opened the batting against the new ball many times. Steve Smith (Photo Source: Twitter) Ever since former Australian cricket team captain Steve Smith has been seen in a new role in Test cricket, he has been the constant target of critics. Smith has been promoted to Test cricket after David Warner retired from red ball cricket. Now in this format he is seen opening instead of middle order. Whereas Steve Smith has to face a lot of criticism after his average performance in Adelaide and Brisbane test matches against West Indies. However, Smith answered his critics to some extent by scoring 91* in the second innings of the second Test match. On the other hand, opening for Steve Smith, who has scored nearly 16,000 runs in international cricket, in Test cricket remains a point of doubt. So now amidst all the criticism, Steve Smith has given a big statement giving a befitting reply to the critics. Smith has said that his average while opening in Tests is 60. Steve Smith silenced his critics Let us tell you that regarding his opening batting in Test cricket, Steve Smith was quoted by Sydney Morning Herald as saying – There was a lot of talk about me when I failed in two or three innings. I was not out once and was out on low score twice. A lot of comments were seen on this. Smith further said- My average as a Test opener batsman is 60. I haven’t really read about it. It’s just a batting position, and I have come in many times and batted in the opening against the new ball. I’ve thought about what different things we could do.

IND vs ENG: “You can see Root opening the bowling” – Ben Stokes’ surprising statement

The first test match between India and England will be played in Hyderabad from January 25. Ben Stokes and Joe Root. (Photo Source: Getty Images) England captain Ben Stokes has kept all his options open for the first match of the five-match Test series against India in Hyderabad. Given the history, the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium pitch is expected to help the spinners and with this in mind, Stokes said he would not hesitate to hand the new ball to Joe Root, who is a part-time spinner. Justifying his statement, the 32-year-old Stokes pointed out that Root has the ability to take the ball away from left-handed batsmen, which will come in handy against Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. However, Stokes said that this decision completely depends on the circumstances of the match. Joe Root can bowl with the new ball – Ben Stokes Ben Stokes was quoted as saying by The Independent that,“It would be completely and utterly ‘serious’, as are most of my decisions. You might even see Ruthie getting the new ball, depending on what I feel. If (left-hander) Yashasvi Jaiswal opens the batting, you can see Root opening the bowling because he will take the ball away from him.” He further said, “When choosing a team it is about what you think will give you the best chance of winning and who will serve you better in certain circumstances. India is one of those places where you have to think more about selection than anywhere else in the world because here you select the team keeping the wicket in mind. Let us tell you that, England has announced its playing eleven for the first test match against India. Experienced fast bowler James Anderson has been left out of the first match against India. England has given opportunity to maximum spinners for the match to be held in Hyderabad. Tom Hatterley will play his debut match. England’s playing eleven for the first match: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (c), Ben Foakes, Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley, Mark Wood, Jack Leach.

So far four matches have been played between the two teams and host New Zealand has won all four. The hosts are currently leading 4-0.

Together, both these players have scored 2779 runs at an average of above 48 in the opening matches, in which there are 9 century partnerships and 11 half-century partnerships. Rameez Raja said on his official YouTube channel, ‘There was a lot of pressure to break the opening pair of Rizwan and Babar. Now that this opening partnership has broken, talks are taking place regarding the strike rate. You are giving opportunities to new players who have done well in the league but the pressure of playing in international cricket is very different and the focus of the whole world is on you. You broke the opening pair which was very famous all over the world. Opening partnership takes time to build: Rameez Raja The former Pakistan player further said, ‘Either you have an experienced opening batsman, then you can break the opening pair. It takes time to form an opening pair. This is not such an easy task. What benefit did you get by breaking the pair which has been performing consistently well for you? Till now, the performance of Pakistan team has not been so good in the T20 series being played against New Zealand, but the team would definitely like to register victory in the remaining matches. Talking about New Zealand, all their players have performed brilliantly in this T20 series and have won the hearts of all the fans.
