Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has said that the biggest character trait of Yashasvi Jaiswal is that he learns a lot from his mistake. He added that he was unsure about Jaiswal’s performances in Australia after he was not very successful , but Jaiswal put down all those assumptions to rest with the show he put out.
India suffered a 3-1 loss in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Jaiswal was one of the positives in the tour besides star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, as he finished as the second-highest run-scorer behind star batter Travis Head.
During a discussion at Star Sports, Gavaskar was questioned about his thoughts about Jaiswal’s performance in the series, and the cricketing legend stated that he was quite happy with the show that was given to them.
“This player’s biggest virtue is that he learns a lot from his first mistake. The way he got out last year in both Tests in South Africa, I had a slight doubt in my mind whether he would be able to score runs on similar pitches in Australia,” Gavaskar said.
“In the first innings in Perth, he opened the face of his bat slightly and got caught at gully. In the second innings, he played with an absolutely straight bat to mid-off and mid-on and when he was flicking, he was playing wide of mid-on and not towards square leg,” Gavaskar added.
Jaiswal was dismissed for a duck in India’s first innings in the first Test match in Perth. Right as the rumours were about to begin about him, he came back in the second innings and scored 161 runs and led India to a big win.
