Yashasvi Jaiswal Credits Rohit Sharma's Early Trust for Sensational Test Debut

Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has credited India captain Rohit Sharma for playing a crucial role in his highly successful Test debut. Jaiswal revealed that Sharma’s proactive leadership and clear communication were key to his confidence, as the captain informed him of his selection a full fifteen days before the match.

This early assurance allowed Jaiswal ample time to prepare mentally and physically, culminating in a remarkable debut knock of 171. Jaiswal views Sharma not just as a captain but as an elder brother figure who inspires him and instills the importance of upholding the values of Indian cricket.

Sharma’s trust in the young opener paid immediate dividends, showcasing Jaiswal’s maturity and ability to perform on the biggest stage. This mentorship highlights the positive environment fostered within the national team, benefiting young IPL stars as they transition to international cricket.
