The first Test will be played from October 16 to October 20 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Ahead of the first game, Indian captain Rohit Sharma addressed the media and opened up on various aspects, including Yashasvi Jaiswal’s performance in Tests.
Jaiswal made his red-ball debut in 2023 and since then, he has accumulated 1217 runs in just 11 games. The run tally includes three centuries, and he maintains an average of 64.05. His breakout performance came against England during the five-match series at home earlier in 2024. During the series, Jaiswal scored a total of a whopping 700 runs across the five matches.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is not happy with what he has achieved: Rohit Sharma
Ahead of the first game against the Black Caps, Sharma made a staggering remark and said that Jaiswal is not happy with what he has achieved. Not only this, but he also said that it is not surprising to him that the young cricketer has been delivering exceptional performances, considering the kind of player he is. While addressing the media, Sharma said, “I am not surprised at all because the guy has got real talent. He has got the game to play in all sorts of conditions.”
Sharma added, “He is someone who wants to learn the game, learn about batsmanship. When a youngster comes into the team, his mindset is quite critical. He always wants to improve, and is not happy with what he has achieved and which is obviously a great start to a young career. We found a great player. Hopefully, he can continue to do what he has done in the last year or so.”
