IPL 2023: Yashasvi Jaiswal has learnt the art of converting 50s into 100s from Virat Kohli, says Virender Sehwag
Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag feels that young Rajasthan Royals (RR) batter Yashasvi Jaiswal has picked up the skill of turning fifties into hundreds from chase-master Virat Kohli.
“Yashasvi Jaiswal is a future star. He’s learnt the art of converting 50s into 100s from Virat Kohli,” Sehwag said on StarSports.
Jaiswal has hit the right notes in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. After being bought the Rajasthan Royals for Rs 4 crore, he has repaid their faith with some scintillating batting displays.
Jaiswal started the season with a bang and is among the leading run-scorers in the tournament.
“Several batters throw their wickets after scoring 13-ball 50, but Yashasvi looks to build on. He’s got that temperament to play big knocks,” Sehwag added.
Jaiswal is seen as one of the brightest young talents in Indian cricket and is expected to have a long and successful career at the highest level.
22-year-old Jaiswal has amassed 575 runs in 13 matches in season 16. He is also on the cusp of breaking former Kings XI Punjab batter Shaun Marsh’s record of 616 runs scored in an IPL season an uncapped batter.
The dynamic batter will once again be the cynosure of all eyes as he arrives at the batting-friendly track in Himachal Pradesh.
