Fans shared their enthusiasm, with one stating, “He is so happy for teammates,” and another expressing, “It’s all of us when Jaiswal plays.” Comments praising Rohit’s captaincy emerged, such as “Captain motivates their younger,” and “Rohit is a great captain.”
England’s Ben Duckett acknowledged Jaiswal as a “superstar in the making” and credited his team for influencing opponents to adopt an aggressive batting style in Test cricket.
Jaiswal adopted an aggressive approach, reminiscent of England’s ‘Bazball’ strategy, hitting nine fours and five sixes in his 133-ball 104 before retiring hurt due to back spasms.
During the final session, the Indian opener swiftly transitioned, reaching 35 off 73 balls and then unleashing powerful strokes to secure his second century of the series and third overall in his career. Ben Duckett shared his thoughts during a press conference in Rajkot, saying, “When you see players from the opposition playing like that, it almost feels like we should take some credit that they’re playing differently than how other people play Test cricket.”
He added, “He looks like a superstar in the making, unfortunately he’s in some very good form at the moment. He’s due a couple of low ones,” with a tongue-in-cheek remark. In summary, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s stellar performance, Rohit Sharma’s jubilant reaction, and England’s acknowledgment of Jaiswal’s aggressive style contribute to the captivating narrative of the Rajkot Test match.
