Jaiswal’s unbeaten 84 helped India track down 179 in the fourth T20I. The Men in Blue won the fourth T20I by nine wickets to take the series to the decider on Sunday.
Yashavi Jaiswal added a 165-run opening stand with Shubman Gill who scored an attractive 77 after a string of low scores. The young openers decimated the West Indies bowling attack to all parts of the ground and played some brilliant shots.

“I feel it’s just a start, I need to keep doing it, keep building it and keep milking the innings. I am happy today but I need to make sure that I am ready for tomorrow also,” said Yashasvi Jaiswal after India’s nine-wicket win.
Yashavi Jaiswal then spoke about his process which has served him right in his brief international career so far. He spoke about the process that he needs to follow to be successful. He also spoke about learning the tricks of the trade from his seniors in the squad.
Keep Telling Myself To Follow The Process: Yashasvi Jaiswal
“I keep telling myself that I trust, I believe, and I will keep doing that. And what can I do for doing that? I need to work hard, I need to be disciplined, I eat well, I sleep well, I practice hard and I go and talk with my seniors. We have an amazing bunch of seniors, the legends. The way they talk to us, Rohit bhaiya, Virat bhaiya, Hardik bhaiya and even Surya bhaiya, the way they talk and that experience… I just try to share their experience and make sure that I’m learning and listening to them, the experience they have been carrying from a long time and the way they have handled themselves in situations. And of course Rahul sir” Yashasvi Jaiswal further added.
Jaiswal dismissed comparisons between him and Gill along with Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan.
“I don’t know about that. What they have done is, they have been amazing. We can just go out there and keep doing what we have been doing and expressing ourselves” https://cricketaddictor.com/tag/india-national-cricket-team/Yashasvi Jaiswal concluded saying.
