Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has praised young talent Yashasvi Jaiswal, highlighting his impressive batting abilities across all formats. Jaiswal, who made his Test debut last year in a Test outing against West Indies, has quickly and so beautifully emerged as a standout talent for India. During his debut, Jaiswal hammered his maiden century in an impressive display of skill and talent.

"The guy has got real talent. He has got the game to play in all sorts of conditions. Obviously, very new to international cricket, so very hard to judge right now. But he has got all the ingredients for success at this level. It’s just about how he manages himself over the next couple of years,” Rohit said during the press conference. 

"What he has shown us in this brief period of time, you can bet on him and expect him to do wonders for the team. He has come through the ranks. He has played a lot of domestic cricket, Under-19 cricket. And obviously, has succeeded as well. That is why he is right now playing for India. So far in his short career, he has shown what he is capable of. It does obviously bode well for our team as well being a left-hander, being an aggressive batter, it bodes well for the team. Hopefully, he can just continue to do what he has been doing.”

Further lauding Jaiswal, Rohit also highlighted Jaiswal’s hunger to learn and adjust himself in all conditions.

"He is somebody who wants to learn the game, learn about batsmanship, which is always a nice thing. When a youngster comes into the team, his mindset is quite critical. And the mindset that he has shown, he always wants to learn, always wants to improve, not happy with what he has achieved which is obviously a great start to a young career," Rohit said.
