Indian National Cricket Team opener Yashasvi Jaiswal did not have a great practice ahead of the first Test against the opposition on Monday (September 16). Bangladesh National Cricket Team. The opening match of the series between the teams will begin on September 19 in Chennai.
After a day off on Sunday, the Indian National Cricket Team practiced intensively on Monday (September 16). Against the mighty Jasprit Bumrah, who was at full strength in the first pre-Test practice session against Bangladesh, the batsmen had a tough day with the bat.
One of the players who received Jasprit Bumrah’s masterclass was young Jaiswal. According to reports by PTI and Indian Express, it is learned that Yashasvi Jaiswal is struggling to counter the first wickets that have repeatedly mocked his opening batsman.
Jasprit Bumrah dispatched Jaiswal’s shot outside the off-stump in a clean session. Not only that, but the young-inclined fast bowler was repeatedly beaten from both ends. And as it happened, Virat Kohli, who was in the side nets, was watching and then took the youngster out for a little chat.
Virat Kohli showed Yashasvi Jaiswal how to shoulder his arms, leave balls at length. They engaged in a small chat and after that the young batsman again took his guard down, but nothing changed as he once again took on a merciless Jasprit Bumrah.
Gautam Gambhir takes Yashasvi Jaiswal to the net area and knocks him down in the face.
Watching Jaiswal struggle against the fast bowler, head coach Gautam Gambhir walked in and was seen chatting with the youngster. The first shot was then taken to the net by the coach, who faced the downs while concentrating on getting behind the line of the ball.
Jaiswal not only struggled against Jasprit Bumrah many times, but Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj and net bowler Yudhvir Singh tested him time and time again. Akash in particular troubled the young batter with a moving delivery. This in turn triggered Gautam Gambhir and had a separate session with the youngster.
Yashasvi Jaiswal will be a major concern for the team as they battle against the pacers in the net session ahead of the Test series against Bangladesh. With the opposition having quality pacers in their line-up, it would surely be a tough challenge for the young opening batsman.
Expectations would certainly be high from Yashasvi Jaiswal who burst onto the scene in India’s recent Test series against the England National Cricket Team. He was a class apart as he scored 712 runs including two double hundreds.
Jaiswal would hope to create a similar impact in the upcoming series. He will have a few days to correct his mistakes before the first game starts at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
