New Delhi:  After Yashasvi Jaiswal hugged Brian Lara following an outstanding 175 in the second Test against West Indies Lara playfully said Dont beat our bowlers that bad. The playful comment highlighted the impressive level of performance the 23-year-old batsman has achieved. Keep getting the hundreds. Daddy hundreds reacted Sunil Gavaskar. Jaiswals 175 runs against WI in the 2nd Test is his fifth Test score of 150+ Jaiswals 175 runs against WI in the 2nd Test is his fifth Test score of 150+ before turning 24 a feat only achieved by Don Bradman. The 23-year-olds conversion rate of 50+ scores in his first 49 Test innings stands at nearly 39.6% surpassing legends like Sachin Tendulkar (36.2%) Ricky Ponting (35.9%) Brian Lara (35.3%) and even Virat Kohli (29%) at a comparable stage of their careers. Jaiswal has smashed a total of seven tons in Tests matching Graeme Smith for the most by an opener before turning 24. Only Don Bradman (12) Sachin Tendulkar (11) and Garry Sobers (9) have surpassed his tally at this age. While Jaiswals remarkable feat reflects his immense hard work focus and mental strength required to produce performances of this caliber. Mumbais renowned khadoos mentality is visible in his style of play. Jaiswals determination and grit drive him to make the most of every opportunity. The environment obviously played a role considering the Mumbai cricket system is super tough with high competition. None of us have been in his shoes living in a tent. Sacrifices have been made but the game-changer is Jaiswals work ethic cricketers mentor Zubin Bharucha told TimesofIndia.com. Jaiswal had to work on his stroke play The 23-year-old left-hand batter initially had to work on his stroke play and work on his onside shots including the reverse sweep. However Jaiswal quickly honed his skills with the ambition to be among the worlds best The preparation is where the magic starts. Jaiswal wanted to be perfect at whatever shot he couldnt play. He wouldnt leave the ground till he achieved excellence in for example playing the reverse sweep practising the stroke 300 times a day. I remember a practice session in Guwahati where he came to bat in the middle of the afternoon eventually finishing at 2 AM. Theres a different mindset involved in such practice sessions which is rare. Its almost spiritual. You can imagine the blood sweat and tears involved. Being brilliant brave and creative is what eventually leads to top performances added Bharucha. I remember a training session two or three years back where Jaiswal was preparing to face Jofra Archer. We found a sidearm pacer who was assigned the role of bowling bouncers at 150 kph. There was a chance of injury. Very few people would agree to such practice drills. However Jaiswal was more than willing to take up the challenge he stated. Julian Wood prised Jaiswals clarity of thought Sri Lanka batting coach Julian Wood showered praise on the 23-year-olds capabilities and his clarity of thought He has the discipline to get the job done with an ability to tear attacks apart astutely. Jaiswal can manipulate the field beautifully like Abhishek Sharma absorbing the pressure well. His body positioning ruthlessness and swing are excellent enabling him to score those mammoth runs. Along with that Jaiswal completely trusts his fundamentals and has a clear idea of his capabilities just like Abhishek said Wood. He makes the margin of error for bowlers very small. If you bowl too straight Jaiswal will flick you. Batters often get tied up with technique but the key aspect in his gameplay is the complete clarity he added. Jaiswal being a left-hand batter is a major asset for the India Former Indian cricketers Pravin Amre and Wasim Jaffer have expressed confidence in the 23-year-old batsmans potential for greater achievements. Amre emphasized that Jaiswal being a left-hand batter is a major asset for the Indian team calling his consistency amazing and his resilience highly commendable. Jaiswal understands the importance of converting starts into big scores. I am confident that he could have scored a triple century if not for that unfortunate dismissal on 175. The ability to bounce back is evident — when Jaiswals back is to the wall he always finds a way to score runs. Theres still a lot of time for him to achieve even greater things said Jaffer. Jaiswal is attentive and a good listener Alongside his strong focus on preparation Jaiswal also benefits greatly from being an attentive and good listener. Whenever he feels a little down due to things not going as per plan I tell him It has been so tough reaching this stage. Surely we are not going to let our place go to somebody else. We have long conversations even at 2 AM. Jaiswal once told me that he feels hes late on the ball which is when I corrected him and told him that hes actually early. He knows when he is doing something wrong. We were very clear that an adjustment is necessary with regard to facing left-arm spinners like Mitchell Santner. Jaiswal applies all the suggestions instantly stated Bharucha. He comes and asks questions about the kind of preparation necessary when travelling to Australia and England as well as the aspects that can be done differently. Jaiswal is always thinking and tinkering. I watch every ball faced by him following a knock and pinpoint even the tiniest of errors he added. Jaiswal has been following in Sachin Tendulkars footstep from a young age Jaiswal looks up to Sachin Tendulkar and has strived to follow the footsteps of the legendary batsmans from a young age as highlighted by former Mumbai U-19 coach Satish Samant. Jaiswal was promoted to the under-19 Mumbai team from the under-16 level back in 2017-18. I saw him bat in the nets and was impressed. A selector asked me whether Jaiswal is fit to play at the U-19 level. I said He deserves to play Ranji Trophy. There was an under-19 match against a strong Madhya Pradesh side where I told Jaiswal to play any shot barring the slog sweep as he had been dismissed playing that shot on certain occasions. He didnt play it at all during the opening day shared Samant. Story Highlight: West Indies great Brain lara praised Yashasvi Jasiwal and playfully said Dont beat our bowlers that bad.
