IPL 2023: Uncapped Indian player Yasshwi Jaiswal has been in great form in the current IPL season. He is second only to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Faf Duplessis (576 runs in 11 matches) in the league’s highest runs this year. The left-handed opener scored 575 runs in 12 matches. Against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on Thursday, he scored an unbeaten 98 off 47 balls to win the team. During this time, he scored the fastest half-century (13 balls) in IPL history. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri is also crazy about Yashwi’s batting skills.

Shastri has built a bridge of praise for Yashaswi. According to him, after the completion of the 16th season of IPL, Yashweer will be the first name selected for India in T20 International. He said he was surprised to see Yasswi playing. He hit some shots towards the off side, during which his head was very stable and the footwork was excellent. It’s admirable for a 21-year-old to act like that. He will be selected in the Indian team soon after the IPL. The selectors must be watching him and would definitely want to have such a talent in the team. Such a player met after a long time. He will be the first to be selected in T20.

Shastri also said that when you go through this kind of difficulty, Panipuri, we all eat it. He had to do all this for a living. He is strict. He is really mentally tough. He is all ready. You can see it has been resolved. Hope he stays this way. This becomes important when you come up so early. I hope he gets the best guidance and stays grounded. He is not one to forget. It will reward him like never before. The 21-year-old Yasshwi is constantly knocking on the doors of the Indian team. His runs from the bat this season have come at an excellent average of 52.27 and a strike rate of 167.15.
