Ashwin has described Jaiswal's game as similar to Pant's. Talking about Jaiswal, Ashwin said, “That's the beauty of playing cricket at this level. Someone comes who does not play according to the system and is not carrying any kind of burden. IPL was great for Jaiswal. After this Jaiswal performed amazingly in first class cricket. He is becoming a player who does nothing wrong. Jaiswal took up Test cricket brilliantly. He is playing fearless cricket and has great shots.''
Jaiswal's game is like Pant's
Ashwin further said, “I am enjoying a lot watching Jaiswal's game.” I feel as if I am watching Pant playing. Both bat in the same way. The method of both against left arm spinners is exactly the same. Jaiswal has a lot of shots and his style of playing is amazing.''
Let us tell you that Yashasvi Jaiswal is playing only his 5th Test and apart from one century, he has scored two half-centuries. The most important thing is that Jaiswal is batting with a strike rate of around 61 in Test cricket and pushes the bowlers of the opposing team on the back foot in the beginning.
