IND vs Eng 1st Test: Does Yashasvi Jaiswal make different? His former Rajasthan Royals team’s companions explain. Cricket news
New Delhi: In IPL and T20I, Yashsvi Jaiswal has created his reputation by playing 360-degree shots. But in Test cricket, he plays opposite his aggressive nature – spoils his time, and only when the opportunity arises is striking.On Friday, the 23 -year -old scored a good hundred in the first innings of the Leeds Test. It was an innings of two parts: his first 50 came from 96 balls, while his second came in just 48. This marked his fifth Test ton and third against England. He joined the elite list of Vijay Manjrekar, Sourav Ganguly, Sandeep Patil, and Murali Vijay, scoring in his first outing in England in a century. Jaiswal was rejected to 101 on the day 1 of the first test of the five -match series against England in Leeds.In the case of Jaiswal, the great people of cricket have often cited their “underlying hunger” and “frustration” to be successful – the characteristics contained for their humble beginning.Jaiswal’s story is really inspiring. But Jose Butler, his former Rajasthan Royals team partner, credited the fearless attitude of the youth for his excellence in both T20 and Test cricket.Butler told Timesophendia.com in an interaction during IPL 2025, “This is probably mentality – the attitude for the risk is too much – and he is very ready to take what may take to take what can look outwards like a risk, but I don’t think the players now see it as a risk. He plays a lot of different shots from the ball forest.”Butler, who has closely seen Jaiswal’s growth in Rajasthan Royals, told what is so special to the opener.He said, “He has also got excellent fundamental basics of the game. And I think it will never change with time,” he shared.
“We definitely play at a time where there are players who focus more on being a hitter of cricket balls and are like establishing their techniques for it.“But, you know, the basics are the same – being in a good solid base, in a good head position, everything is working well together. I think the basics always take care of where to start, and then you will then develop the rest of your game. So I think it is important, and to ensure that you have a little bit.“And I think what he does. People like Jaiswal are very successful in T20 cricket along with Test cricket because their game is so strong,” he said.Former England White-Ball captain Butler also posted a heartfelt message when Jaiswal took England to the cleaner during the home series in early 2024-saying why he enjoys Jaiswal’s batting, even if he comes against his country.“It’s ashamed that he is doing this against England, but V (very) is not so happy for @yashasvijaiswal28. Get everything that he deserves his talent, hunger and work morality. What star! “Butler wrote in his Instagram story.
Joe Root, who spent a season with Jaiswal in Royals during IPL 2023, also praised Southeast.“Their ability to clean the ball in all parts and explode the ball in all parts is impressive. But to be able to move skills in the test format [means] He has found a very sound technique, “Root said about Jaiswal.In the home series against England, Jiswal scored 712 runs in 2024. He then finished as India’s leading run-goldter in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with 391 runs, including 161 in Perth and a pair in Melbourne in the fifties. Now, on his first tour of England, he has opened his account with a century.
