Jaiswal recalled, “He really stood by us, telling us to just go out and enjoy the game and play freely.”
For the team’s impending home season, star batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal of India is prepared. With the arrival of Gautam Gambhir as head coach, team India will try to perform well and win matches.
It is noteworthy that thus far, Gambhir has guided India to victories in both T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka. The former opener has had quite the impact on the team despite the rocky start. Yashasvi Jaiswal recently took center stage to discuss how Gambhir influences the team and inspires players to perform to the best of their abilities.
Indeed, we had a conversation during the Sri Lanka series. He gave us a lot of support when he told us to go play freely and have fun; we’ll be there to support you. It boosts our self-esteem and allows us to play without fear, Jaiswal was cited by India Today as saying.
Working hard in the nets in preparation for the Bangladesh series and the Duleep Trophy: Jaiswal
It is noteworthy that Yashasvi Jaiswal is practicing for the ongoing Duleep Trophy 2024 at this time. India will play multiple Test matches against Bangladesh and New Zealand shortly after the local competition, and Jaiswal will be looking to be at the top of his game for the series.
“I am putting a lot of effort into the nets in preparation for the Bangladesh series and the Duleep Trophy. Setting personal targets isn’t necessary because, as everybody who plays cricket knows, you have to be persistent and never stop honing your craft, according to Jaiswal.
In addition, the stunning left-hand opener discussed the importance of domestic competitions such as the Irani Trophy and the Duleep Trophy in assisting players in getting ready for travel abroad. According to him, these competitions are quite competitive. He became more confident as a result and merely made an effort to stay in his comfort zone.
Playing in domestic competitions such as the Irani Trophy and Duleep Trophy boosts my confidence and helps me get ready for those (international) games. I try not to step beyond my comfort zone to support the team’s success. He went on, “You get to learn a lot from events like the Duleep Trophy and it’s beneficial for you to play such intense games in front of a Test series.”
Although he hasn’t played in an ODI yet, Yashasvi Jaiswal has solidified his position as India’s opener in T20Is and Tests. He hopes to play in an ODI soon as well.
