Yashasvi Jaiswal receives high praise from former Indian star: 'A divine talent for cricket'

Former India cricketer Manoj Tiwary has heaped praise upon rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal, describing him as a legend in the making. Tiwary commended Jaiswal's exceptional talent at such a young age, noting that he is already making a significant impact on the world cricket stage.

“He is a legend in the making. I rate him very highly. I do it because he has everything a cricketer needs to become a great cricketer. And it is quite visible even at such a young age," Tiwary told Cricbuzz.

The left-handed batter, who made his Test debut last year, is currently placed at the second spot in the ongoing World Test Championship run charts, with 1372 in 13 matches at an astonishing average of 59.65.

Jaiswal has impressed Tiwary with his dominant batting no matter who the opposition is, as he is someone who likes to play freely and take charge of the bowlers.

“What does he have? He has technique. He has a positive mindset. He has hunger. He has a desire to improve in every inning. And no matter what the situation is, no matter who is in the bowling opposition, he shows with his batting that who is dominating. And domination only comes when you think well, you have good technique, and you have a good range of shots," he added.

Yashasvi Jaiswal - God’s gift to cricket

Tiwary was left mesmerised by Jaiswal's intent on the tricky Pune track, and he even called him a ‘God’s gift to cricket’.

“In such a wicket (of MCA Stadium in Pune), if you look at the rest of the great players, they were not able to hit any big runs. But this player, at such a young age, the way he is bowling, the way he is hitting the shots—he is a God’s gift to cricket,” he added.
