The making of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel: Playing 140 overs in four hours, using baseball drills

[ad_1] Talegaon is as nondescript a village as they come. In the middle of nowhere, some 100 km from Nagpur. In a district, Wardha, that hits the headlines mostly for a high farmer suicide rate. And the only industry, if it can be called one, is the manufacturing of iron products – daggers, knives and kitchenware.In this unlikeliest of places, from the house of Royals, the skills of two batsmen, sharp as knives, were honed. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel, India’s two big finds from the ongoing Test series against England, have spent weeks and months in Talegaon, training at the base of Rajasthan Royals, the Indian Premier League franchise they play for.

Chris Gayle hails ‘phenomenal’ Yashasvi Jaiswal, says nothing new about ‘Bazball’ | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: England have no copyright on aggressive batting according to West Indies star Chris Gayle, who insisted it had been around even "years before" he started his career as one of cricket's most celebrated big-hitters.Dynamic run-scoring has been a key feature of England's 'Bazball' approach to Test cricket under the leadership of coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes.But England opener Ben Duckett raised eyebrows when he suggested their methods had inspired India counterpart Yashasvi Jaiswal to score an unbeaten double century in the recent third Test in Rajkot.Jaiswal, 22, made a blistering 214 not out, including a Test record-equalling 12 sixes in an innings, as India thrashed England by a mammoth 434 runs to go 2-1 up in a five-match series.It was also the left-h...

Yashasvi Jaiswal: A Superstar in the Making – India vs England 3rd Test | Cricket News – Times of India

Putting the English bowlers to the sword, the left-handed opener from Mumbai has cracked 435 runs in six innings across three Tests at a grand average of 87.

India vs England: Why a Yashasvi Jaiswal hundred prompted Ben Stokes to high-five him

[ad_1] There are two Yashasvi Jaiswals cohabiting harmoniously in the young Indian opener. Until that moment in the 27th over of the innings when he decided he had had enough of poking around and exploded against James Anderson to turn the tide in India’s favour, Jaiswal – the classical Test batsman – was on show. Of all the youngsters in the Indian team, he has the most compact defensive routine and has the air of a batsman who has faced thousands of balls in his formative years. The muscle memory of a dour veteran batsman and the confidence of been-there-done-that-a-million-times come across in the way everything aligns in his bat flow – from the head to the feet. And yet, when the mood seizes him, Jaiswal can transform into the T20 beast that he is. But what he has impressively done i...
