“He can move the match quickly in your favor” – Aakash Chopra picks Yashasvi Jaiswal as one of India’s positives from opening Test

 

Former Indian Test opener Aakash Chopra has picked Yashasvi Jaiswal as one of India’s positives from the opening Test match against England. Jaiswal returned with scores of 80 and 15 in the first Test at Hyderabad.

The left-hander played with an aggressive approach in the opening Test match and took the attack against debutant Tom Hartley in the first innings. Jaiswal batted at the top of his game in the first innings and did a fine job for the hosts.

Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube Channel, “Yashasvi Jaiswal looked very good in the first match. You will back him to come good once again because it is the type of pitch where the ball comes nicely onto the bat. Yashasvi is in good form and the speed at which he plays, he can move the match quickly in your favor.”

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma scored 345 runs in four Test matches against England in 2021 and played a match-winning knock of 161 runs in the second Test at Chennai.

“You have got a player called Rohit Sharma who can play a game-changing knock. I remember the last Test series (home series against England) as well. We lost the first match and in the second match, Rohit Sharma single-handedly took India to a position from where you couldn’t have lost.”

The reputed commentator added that England players are playing with a mindset of nothing to lose, which is India’s biggest problem.

“The problem is that the opposing team’s batters have come with the thinking that they have nothing to lose and the entire world to gain. People say quite often that they want to be fearless but aren’t able to adopt that approach.”

“This team is doing and showing what they are saying because it doesn’t matter to them even if they lose. They haven’t lost even a single series since Brendon McCullum’s coaching and Ben Stokes’ captaincy has come together.”

The second Test match between India and England will be played at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam from 2nd February.
