Yashasvi Jaiswal's Hunger for Success Impresses Rohit Sharma

India's Test captain, Rohit Sharma, has expressed his admiration for the remarkable performances of young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. Since his debut in mid-2023, Jaiswal has amassed 1217 runs in 11 Tests, including three centuries, at an impressive average of 64.05.

Rohit attributes Jaiswal's success to his insatiable hunger for learning and his determination to excel at the highest level. "I am not surprised at all because the guy has got real talent," Rohit said. "He has got the game to play in all sorts of conditions."

Jaiswal's breakout series came against England earlier this year, where he scored over 700 runs across five Tests. Rohit believes that Jaiswal has all the ingredients for success at the international level. "He is somebody who wants to learn the game, learn about batsmanship," Rohit said. "When a youngster comes into the team, his mindset is quite critical."

Rohit also highlighted the importance of Jaiswal's left-handedness, which provides India with a different option in the batting lineup. "He has played a lot of domestic cricket, under-19 cricket. He has succeeded as well, and that is why he is playing for India," Rohit said. "It does obviously well for our team as well him being a left-hander, being an aggressive batter."

While Rohit is impressed with Jaiswal's early performances, he also cautioned him about the challenges that lie ahead. "It is just about how he manages himself in the next couple of years," Rohit said. "But what he has shown us in this brief period of time, you can bet on him to do wonders for the team."
