Former India spinner Pragyan Ojha has pointed out the similarities between India’s young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and India’s great batsman Virender Sehwag and urged fans to be patient. The southpaw is fearless in long-form formats and has contributed to his team’s success at the top of the rankings.
Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal proved his mettle in the first innings of the Test match in Vizag, scoring a stunning double century against England.
The left-handed opener hit a double century off 277 balls and led India to a strong 396 in the first innings against England and was aggressive throughout.
At Colors Cineplex, Mr. Pragyan Ojha said that Yashasvi Jaiswal has shown a fearless brand in the cricket world, and that players like the legendary Virender Sehwag, who is famous for his performances. I think it’s too early to compare him. He has batted aggressively throughout his cricketing career and wants the young opener to bat with the same style in the coming years.
“You could say he plays fearless cricket. But when we talk about Virender Sehwag, we’re not talking about one, two or three matches. They’re talking about his career. Talk about what the whole thing was like.
“This is just the beginning. Let’s see how he plays going forward. We hope he plays like that, but we’ll see how he plays. It remains to be seen whether Sehwag will put expectations aside and attack fearlessly. Sehwag has been doing this consistently over the years, which is why I think it’s a bit premature,” said Pragyan Ojha. Told.
Virender Sehwag‘s impressiveness stems from the ferocious strength he displayed with the bat during his playing days. As a result, Yashasvi Jaiswal is the closest thing to a long-term attacking opener across formats considering what his initial commitment in international cricket means for the Indian team.
The Best Part Was The Clarity And Maturity He Showed – Pragyan Ojha
Pragyan Ojha praised Yashasvi Jaiswal’s ability to spread out and push the bowlers to their limits and said the left-handed opener is full of confidence. The former spinner praised Jaiswal’s calm and composed batting which got the home team into a comfortable position against England.
“When players know they can react to wherever the ball is thrown, they move forward and play aggressively.” That’s how Yashasvi plays. The reason is. He finished the century in 6th place. It reflected his confidence. ”
“He batted fantastically but the best part was the clarity and maturity he showed. It’s not that easy. You get stuck at times but he held the innings together. He lost his partners but he stood firmly like Angad’s leg,” Pragyan Ojha added.
Yashasvi Jaiswal became India’s third-youngest Test batsman to score a double century and accounted for more than half of the team’s runs. No other batsman reached the age of 50 and Jaiswal completed his double century with just 277 balls.
India scored 396 runs in the first innings in a game that incorporated traditional defensive batting and aggressive down-the-track sixes.
