It was an incredible display from Yashasvi Jaiswal at Rajkot again as the southoaw hammered home an incredible display of fireworks. He became the second Indian to score a double-centurion in two consecutive Test matches. The strokeplay on display was absolutely excellent while the temperament shown by the youngster was equally sensational.
Fans believe that this can very well be the birth of a star and how he can change the course of the game for India not only in the country but also in overseas situations. As Jaiswal still basks in the feat of two consecutive double centuries here are three reasons to believe why he can be the perfect Indian opener not just in Indian conditions but also in overseas conditions.
#1 An excellent player of the new ball
It goes without a saying that a batter who plays a new ball well is possibly the true example of an opener in Test cricket. Ideally with the new ball particularly in Test cricket, the lateral movement is a bit too much and not everyone has the judgment to decide in a split second whether to let it go or to hammer at it. However, the consistency with which he plays is what makes him the wonder player. He hardly commits unless he is overtly sure whether he would get hold of it or not. So when you play away from India, with the predominant swing and pace, Jaiswal will be an excellent addition to the side.
#2 Fearless attitude
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s attitude reminds us all of the hard-hitting Virender Sehwag. He loves to dictate the bowlers and with the long levers that he has at his disposal, that fearless attitude helps him to charge against the might of the new ball bowlers. Not only is he an exceptional player of movement but even when the ball gets old and reverse swing comes in, Yashasvi will be a bane for the opposition bowlers on any given day.
#3 Ability to convert knocks
Yashasvi Jaiswal and his ice-cool mentality makes him one of the finest openers. Not only does he play free of fear but his towering stature laced with his ice-cold nerves help him to stay in the center and not get spirited away by the surroundings. When you play abroad, it is of utmost importance that you do not react to what is happening around you, rather hang in and play as per your strength.
