Ravi Shastri compliments Yashasvi Jaiswal with huge comparision
Yashasvi Jaiswal impressed many with his performance in the 2nd innings of the third Test against England. It took a little over a session and a half for the youngster to get to his hundred, which was incredible. In his stay in the middle, Jaiswal scored 104 runs before getting retired hurt. Jaiswal suffered back pain and returned to the pavilion.
The Southpaw hammered the England attack for fun and registered his third Test hundred. If necessary, Jaiswal can come out to bat and score some runs for India on the 4th day. After India ended the day with a score of 196/2 after 51 overs, Ravi Shastri spoke to the broadcasters. Much like others, Shastri was impressed with the way Jaiswal has batted in the series so far.
Shastri praised the fielding efforts of Jaiswal in the ongoing Test and felt that he could be one of the part-time bowling options for India in the days to come. Shastri claimed that Yashasvi could spin the ball either way and added he could bowl medium pace if required. Shastri praised the athleticism of the youngster on the field. The former Indian coach then made a huge comparison about the talented batter.
‘Jaiswal reminds me of a young Tendulkar’ – Ravi Shastri
Shastri claimed that the way Jaiswal helps India to bail out from tough situations reminds him of the young Sachin Tendulkar. He added that Jaiswal is a busy player and felt him an example of the saying ‘If you believe in yourself, there is hope’. Speaking after the 3rd day at Rajkot, the winner of the ODI World Cup 1983 felt that nothing is impossible for the 22-year-old.
“Jaiswal reminds me of a young Tendulkar. Busy all the time. This is a classic example of the saying ‘If you believe in yourself, there is hope’. Nothing is impossible. That’s just a word. He will be constantly involved,” added the former Indian cricketer in his statement. Shubman Gill and Kuldeep Yadav saw India home with their batting efforts towards the end of the 3rd day.
The Janakpur Bolts clinched a playoff berth in the Nepal Premier League following a decisive victory over the Kathmandu Gurkhas. In a low-scoring encounter, the Gurkhas set a modest target of 102 runs, with their batting lineup struggling against the disciplined Bolts’ bowling attack. Sushan Bhari led the charge, taking crucial wickets and restricting the opposition’s scoring opportunities.
The Bolts chased the target with composure, showcasing strong batting performances from their top order. Opener Arjun Saud played a steady innings, while other batters ensured no major collapses en route to victory. This win solidifies Janakpur’s position in the league standings and marks their entry into the playoffs, where they will look to maintain their momentum.
For Kathmandu Gurkhas, the loss is a significant setback, leaving them on the brink of elimination. The team’s inability to capitalize on key moments, particularly in their batting, highlighted their struggles in the tournament.
With their playoff spot secured, the Bolts have demonstrated consistency and resilience, making them strong contenders for the title. Fans eagerly anticipate their upcoming matches as the tournament heads into its decisive stages.
Karnali Yaks posted 128/7 in 20 overs against Lumbini Lions in their Nepal Premier League clash. Contributions from the middle order, especially Sharad Vesawkar (30 runs) and Sunil Dhamala (25 runs), helped stabilize the innings after a shaky start. Lumbini Lions bowlers, led by Sompal Kami and Lalit Rajbanshi, kept Karnali’s scoring in check with disciplined bowling.
The Lions now face a manageable chase to secure their second win of the season.
Kathmandu Gurkhas, after opting to bat first, set Janakpur Bolts a modest target of 102 runs in their ongoing Nepal Premier League (NPL) match. Kathmandu’s innings ended at 101/10 in 19.3 overs. They struggled throughout, with only Gerhard Erasmus (20) and Stephen Eskinazi (17) offering resistance. The rest of the batting line-up faltered, with notable contributions from Karan KC (19) and Shahab Alam (8*).
Janakpur’s bowlers dominated, with Lalit Rajbanshi and Sher Malla both taking three wickets each, while Mohammad Mohsin added two. The Bolts are now tasked with chasing a relatively low total to secure the win.
