Overview:
Virat Kohli is another senior stateman of the Indian National Cricket Team. He shares his experiences with the young players and has been instrumental in the success of his teammates.
Yashasvi Jaiswal scored his maiden ODI hundred in the third and final ODI against South Africa in Vizag. He shared match-winning partnerships with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Jaiswal shares a close bond with Rohit, with the two also representing Mumbai in domestic cricket. Yashasvi has been phenomenal in Test cricket, while he is considered India’s future in white-ball cricket as well. Although he has had few chances in the shorter formats, there is a belief that he is ready to dominate T20Is and ODI cricket.
The young southpaw opened up on his relationship with Rohit.
“Whenever Rohit bhai scold me, it has a lot of love. If he doesn’t scold me, there is a sense of uneasiness as to why he is not saying anything. Has he felt bad about something?” he told Aaj Tak.
Rohit is close to all the players, having spent years with them in international cricket. Even after leaving the captaincy, he is still respected by the current generation in the dressing room.
Virat Kohli is another senior stateman of the Indian National Cricket Team. He shares his experiences with the young players and has been instrumental in the success of his teammates. Jaiswal reflected on the guidance of Virat and Rohit.
“We all feel relaxed when they are there. Rohit Bhai told me to relax in the third ODI. He was ready to take risks to allow me to settle down. Virat bhai told me to focus on small targets and said that we will have to win for ourselves,” he added.
Jaiswal is the backup opener in the ODIs as Rohit and Shubman Gill are the designated opening batters. However, having scored a hundred, Jaiswal will be a part of the plans in the near future.
