Watch: Virat Kohli shares batting tips with Yashasvi Jaiswal ahead of WTC final

Yashasvi Jaiswal, the name that has impressed the entire world during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season has scaled new heights. The young batting sensation won the Emerging Players of the Year award this year for Rajasthan Royals scoring 625 runs in just 14 matches.

Jaiswal’s performance alone could not take RR to the playoffs, but it was enough to make a statement that everyone should watch the left-hander in the years to come. He was named a stand-by player in India’s World Test Championship squad for the clash against Australia.

Ruturaj Gaikwad was the first choice of the BCCI and the selectors but as soon as the batsman informed about his unavailability as the CSK players are getting married on June 3. With the final set starting from June 7, all the players of the Indian cricket team have started practicing. Getting ready for the fight.

On Wednesday, the ICC shared a clip of Jaiswal’s first training session as he faced Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin in the nets. Ashwin was seen sharing some tips with the youngster and only Virat Kohli also shared his thoughts on the 23-year-old batsman’s style.

With Shubman Gill and skipper Rohit Sharma opening for India, the chances of Jaiswal making his Test debut for the country are slim. However, he will gain a lot of exposure and experience during this tour in England having seen so many senior Indian cricketers practicing.
