“Let’s talk about Yashasvi Jaiswal first and the way he played. He is already playing on 143 and I won’t be too surprised if he scores 200 as well because this player knows how to convert hundreds into double hundreds” said Chopra.

Chopra further said that Jaiswal displayed both his aggressive and defensive approach during his innings.
“He showed both aspects of his game. He can take risks – use his feet, play the reverse sweep, he has the might to do that – but he can give himself time as well and stay at the wicket for a long time. So this player also knows the method to play retro Test cricket” the former Indian opener further added.
Before he gets to his 200, Jaiswal has an opportunity to overtake Shikhar Dhawan’s tally of 187 runs and become the highest run-getter by an Indian batsman on Test debut. Jaiswal has struck 14 fours in his innings so far.
