“In India, as you grow up, you dedicate immense effort to every aspect of life. Even catching a bus requires considerable hard work and determination.”

“You have to put in a lot of effort to catch the train, auto, and everything, and I’ve been doing that since my childhood. I understand the importance of every innings, and that’s why I work diligently in my practice sessions. Every innings holds significance for me and my team; that’s my primary motivation to play for my country. I ensure that whenever I’m on the field, I give my 100% and then relish the experience,” said Jaiswal. # Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Consecutive Test Double Century

In the first Test, the 22-year-old batsman scored 80 runs but unfortunately lost his wicket. However, during the Visakhapatnam Test, Jaiswal made a significant contribution by scoring 209 runs, leading the team to a 106-run victory. The left-hander accumulated a total of 545 runs across three Tests with an impressive average of 109.

Yashasvi Jaiswal shared that the determination and commitment displayed by Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja in the first innings served as a significant motivation for his performance in the second innings.

“The way Rohit bhai and Jaddu bhai played in the first innings was a great source of inspiration for me. Their passion and commitment were evident, focusing on playing session by session. While I was in the dressing room, I kept thinking that when I go out there, I need to make it count. Witnessing their dedication and the way they discussed the game motivated all of us. It’s truly remarkable to see them putting in such tremendous effort,” Jaiswal expressed. # Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Consecutive Test Double Century
