“The way he controls the game and understands the wicket, it is spot on”- Yashasvi Jaiswal opens up on his learnings from skipper Rohit Sharma

India’s rookie batter Yashasvi Jaiswal has showered praise on his opening partner Rohit Sharma. Jaiswal said Rohit is spot on with the way he controls the game and understands the wicket. Rohit and Jaiswal had opened the innings in the five-match Test series against England.

The left-hander had impressed one and all as he had amassed 712 runs in five Test matches against England and thus was awarded the Player of the Series. 

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma is known to get the best out of the players and has guided Jaiswal on the right track in his young career.

“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,” said Jaiswal while talking to the reporters on the eve of the opening Duleep trophy match.

“Now, I can see a lot of scenarios and shift my game (accordingly) for the team and read the situations. I think these are very important for me in the last one year. When I was playing domestic cricket, I was not aware of many things. But since I started playing international cricket, the communication and the reading of the game have improved a lot. I just want to keep learning.”

Meanwhile, Jaiswal played for the first time under the tutelage of head coach Gautam Gambhir in the T20I series against Sri Lanka and the youngster said the coach backed him to the hilt.

“Yes, I have spoken with him during the Sri Lanka series. He really backed us saying just go out and play freely and enjoy the game and we will be with you. It gives us a lot of confidence and helps us to play fearlessly,” said Jaiswal.

Jaiswal will be part of Team B in the Duleep trophy.
