Yashasvi Jaiswal is a hot property in the Indian cricket team since scoring a scintillating Test century on his debut in Dominica. He became the 17th Indian to score a century on debut and the second-highest scorer for India on Test debut after Shikhar Dhawan’s 187 in Mohali against Australia in 2013.

“The player who stood out for me was Yashasvi Jaiswal. Right at the top of the order, in his first Test, it does not happen every day that a youngster plays his first Test and scores a century. The first time I saw him play in the IPL, I knew there was something special about him. You could look at him and feel how much time he has to face the ball,” De Villiers said on his Youtube channel.

“He has a lot of time. He is a nice, tall left-hander, the pace is not going to bother him. He has got time to make decisions and play, both against pace and spin.
