Renowned cricket analyst Ian Bishop has proposed that Yashasvi Jaiswal merits inclusion in India’s T20 World Cup lineup, emphasizing the young batter’s potential despite his initial setbacks in the ongoing IPL season. Jaiswal’s recent exploits, including a blistering century against Mumbai Indians, have convinced Bishop of his suitability for the modern T20 format, characterized by aggressive batting.
Bishop acknowledges Jaiswal’s initial struggles in the tournament but attributes them to the challenges faced by young players. He believes that Jaiswal’s aggressive approach aligns well with the demands of T20 cricket, making him an asset to the team. Bishop further highlights Jaiswal’s left-handedness as an added advantage, providing diversity to the batting lineup.
Following his match-winning performance against Mumbai, Jaiswal’s IPL tally now stands at 225 runs from 8 matches, with an average of 32.14 and a strike rate of 157.34. His next outing will be on April 27 when Rajasthan Royals lock horns with Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow.
