Yashasvi Jaiswal

[halba]

is this guy the next Ganguly for india? Only 21 yo prodigy. Left hand bat. Average 80 in FC. And just smoked 60 off 31 balls in IPL as an opener

Surely we are taking Jaiswal to the world cup and look to slot him in somewhere.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

He would walk into our team if he was a West Indian, but he’s not a surety for his own country

 

[slippy888]

He should replace sky in middle order

 

[Shri]

when rohit retires, he should become opener for india along with ruturaj in limited overs at least. gill to 3 or 4 depending on when we kick kohli out

 

[Socerer 01]

he will have 1st dibs as a lefty and batsman who can bowl

or when kohli calls time. he's 35 in Nov.

Typical average age of retirement is 37-38 ish, he's not playing the next ODI world cup.

 

[slippy888]

I see no reason why kholi can't play until he 40

 

[Prince EWS]

He can't bowl.

 

[honestbharani]

He can't bowl.

He can. They are just not using him for some reason.

 

[TestMatch]

I thought this kid deserves a thread of his own.

He's currently on a 57 average, and has a slew of massive innings (171, 209, 214, 161), most against good opposition. For a 23-year-old opener to be doing this, seems remarkable.

 

[reyrey]

There was talk of if anyone would break Laras 400 record. I think it's under threat with Jaiswal around.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

India’s Brian Lara

 

[CartyDurham]

Brook could have broken 400 a couple of months back

 

[Wanna_Be_AB]

Brook could have broken 400 a couple of months back

Not sure if England would have loved to draw for the sake of it

Yeah, tough to do it from number 5 as the match situation most likely won't allow for it.

An opener or number 3 who can bat at a strike rate of 90 plus has the best chance.

And a pitch flatter than my ex's backside

 

[TestMatch]

Jaiswal officially has the most test sixes of 2024 - 36 sixes.

Next highest is 21 (by Mendis).
