Send Push

Yashasvi Jaiswal will probably face one of the toughest assignments in his fledging career when he goes to Australia next month. However, Jaiswal’s childhood coach Jwala Singh belives his ward is prepared for the test."At this level, it is more about how you handle pressure. You can always work on technique, but if you don't have the right attitude and mindset then you will end up as a failure. But fortunately, Yashasvi has a mature head on his shoulder," Jwala told PTI when he was informed about skipper Rohit Sharma's high evaluation of his younger colleague."It is even more true when you go and play in Australia because they play some hard cricket there and put a lot of pressure on opposition," he added."I think being around players like Rohit and Virat has helped him a lot. After all, there is nothing like learning from such masters," he said."He always has been aggressive as a batsman. Earlier, he had a tendency to attack almost every ball, especially fast bowlers, but now he uses aggression more judiciously."Yashasvi now has more awareness of his game. He has better awareness about which ball to attack and which one to let go. Of course, he has also become a very good fielder now, especially in slip region," Jwala noted.Speaking about the possible challenges a sub-continent batter will face Down Under, Jwala said, "First thing first, what India did in Australia during their last two visits here has been fantastic. Not many teams have managed that (winning back-to-back series). So, the Aussies will go hard at Indians to overturn it."I am sure they are going to pepper them with some short stuff and I guess the pitches too could offer some more spice."In that sense, I think the batters coming here should be well-prepared to play a few more cuts and pulls," former England pacer Alan Mullaly, who is now settled in Perth, told PTI.
