Opening the innings alongside skipper Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal even outclassed the captain as such was the caliber of his innings. He smashed a stupendous ton on his debut and even after that he has looked hungry for runs.

Yashasvi Jaiswal was batting at unbeaten 143 runs off 300 balls at stumps on Day 2 and with the way he’s going it’s safe to say that daddy hundred is on the cards.

The Southpaw became only the 17th Indian to score a century on his Test debut for India. As an opener, he is only the third after Shikhar Dhawan (187) in 2013 vs Australia and Prithvi Shaw (134) in 2018 vs West Indies to hit the ton on his debut. Notably, he’s the first opener to smash a century in overseas conditions in his maiden innings.

Jwala Singh said that he had a feeling that Yashasvi Jaiswal would start well as he has been playing well against world-class bowlers in IPL. He highlighted that he has taught him to see the ball and not the bowler. Speaking to PTI, he said:

“I am happy to see him grow. I had some feeling that he would start well. He has spent four good seasons in the IPL and also in domestic cricket. He has played most of the world-class bowlers under a lot of pressure, especially in the IPL.

“He has the idea about playing with top-quality bowlers. As a player, it is important to have the habit of making runs. As a coach I always teach my players to see the ball and not the bowler, and try to react to the ball well.”

Jwala Singh further went on to say that he’s glad that Yashasvi Jaiswal made him proud but going ahead he needs to keep things simple. He explained:

“There will always be nine fielders, whatever match you play, whether it’s T20 or one-day or Test. As a batter, you need to be in the present and face each and every ball on merit and believe in your ability. I am glad that Yashasvi is able to do this on the ground and is proving me right.

“I think this will be a very good start in international cricket, but he needs to keep it simple. As a player it is important to do your best for the team, scoring runs for the team is a job for any player, and then look ahead.”

Yashasvi Jaiswal shared 229 runs partnership with skipper Rohit Sharma, who scored a ton. At stumps on Day 2, India were 313/2 and were leading by 166 runs with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli at the crease.
