“It is an incredible experience” – Yashasvi Jaiswal shares his views on batting with Rohit Sharma
Team India’s opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal recently shared his experience of batting alongside Rohit Sharma, noting that there is much to learn from the experienced player. He highlighted Sharma’s exceptional pitch awareness. Speaking before the 17th edition of the Duldeep Trophy (via ANI), Jaiswal commented:
“It is an incredible experience whenever I go out and bat with him. He has shared his experiences with me. I think the way he controls the game and understands the wicket, it is spot on and there are a lot of things (to learn from him). You can learn from him things like adjusting your batting to seaming or turning tracks or change your batting when a wicket or two fall.”
The two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh will start on September 19 in Chennai, with the second Test taking place in Kanpur from September 27.
