Yashasvi Jaiswal is a future star
Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has praised Yashasvi Jaiswal, the young opener for the Rajasthan Royals, for his ability to convert the fifties into hundreds, a skill he has learned from Indian cricketer Virat Kohli.
Both Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals are aiming to keep their slim playoff hopes alive as they face each other in the IPL 2023. Yashasvi Jaiswal, currently third in the Orange Cap leaderboard, will be looking to surpass the 600-run mark in the season. Sehwag also highlighted Jaiswal’s temperament and his ability to play big innings.
Meanwhile, former cricketer Mohammed Kaif dismissed the criticism of Sam Curran, the most expensive player of IPL 2023, stating that judging a player solely based on his price tag is not fair. He also pointed out the team’s poor strategy as a contributing factor to Punjab Kings’ position in the points table.
Harbhajan Singh praised Yuzvendra Chahal, the star spinner of the Rajasthan Royals, for his mastery of slow bowling and his ability to use variations effectively. The match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad saw the first instance of a century being scored by a player from both teams in the history of IPL.
Virat Kohli‘s match-winning innings received praise from former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar, who called it unforgettable and highlighted Kohli’s ability to make a tough pitch look easy.
