IND vs ENG: 'Looking at him reminds me of young Sachin Tendulkar', Shastri praised this Indian batsman.

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has praised young Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal for his brilliant performance against England during the third Test in Rajkot. Yashasvi had failed to play a big innings in India's first innings, but he compensated for it in the second innings. He was retired hurt on 104 runs on the third day. However, he returned to the field on the fourth day scored a quick double-century, and remained unbeaten after scoring 214 runs. On this innings of Yashasvi, Shastri has compared his skill with that of cricket great Sachin Tendulkar. Thanks to Yashasvi's 214* runs and Sarfaraz Khan's unbeaten 68 runs, India declared its second innings at 430 runs for four wickets and had set a target of 557 runs for England.

Shastri praised Yashasvi

He said, 'I am impressed by the way Yashasvi Jaiswal batted. Not only with the bat but also his performance and mannerisms on the field were excellent. I think going forward he can be one of Rohit's part-time bowling options. He can also be given bowling. Yashasvi reminds me of young Tendulkar. He is busy all the time on the field. One of the most brilliant examples of the famous saying is 'If you believe in yourself, there is hope.' Nothing is impossible.' It's just one word, but you'll continue to see them involved.
