Zaheer Khan praises Yashasvi Jaiswal

The young Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who displayed his unique brand of cricket that left analysts and previous players, notably former bowler Zaheer Khan, in admiration, was the star of the opening day of the five-Test series.  Jaiswal blasted England spinners Tom Hartley and Rehan Ahmed with a blistering innings of 60-ball 76* runs, including nine fours and three sixes. The batsman displayed flawless footwork and pouncing on anything that was even slightly loose. 

In his remarks on Colours Cineplex, Khan praised Jaiswal for demonstrating accurate front- and back-foot technique, which is essential for taking on spinners on such fields. Jaiswal has made a lasting impact in his limited Test career, collecting 392 runs with one century and two fifties. On Day 2, he will have another opportunity to add to his ever-increasing total and record a huge hundred.
