Former India opener turned commentator Aakash Chopra has added that Yashasvi Jaiswal needs to keep his ego aside ahead of the second Test against South Africa as well. He said that the left-handed opener needs to play Marco Jansen cautiously at the start of his innings as well.

On the Star Sports show ‘Game Plan,’ Chopra said, He is having slight problems against left-armers. We have seen that with Yashasvi Jaiswal across three formats, both at home and away. The thing that goes in his favor is that he plays for the Rajasthan franchise, and he has even played IPL games in Guwahati. So, at least he will have a slightly better idea of the conditions.”

“I think he will continue to have an attacking approach, but he needs to give himself a little time, especially against Marco Jansen. How long a spell can Marco Jansen bowl? He can take the others to task, but Marco Jansen is a genuine threat. The road to improvement goes through acceptance. He will have to accept that this is a problem. There is no place for ego there,” he further added.

On ‘Game Plan,’ former India player Saba Karim added that Yashasvi Jaiswal needs to be more judicious in his shot selection as well.

“The approach was fine, but as you grow as a batter, you also need to be more judicious in your shot selection. I can understand that you are a swashbuckling opener, you want to have that kind of an attacking mindset, but you also need to pick the right ball and the right surface to play such shots,” he said. “I didn’t see that with Yashasvi Jaiswal’s effort. He got a special delivery from Marco Jansen in the second innings, but whatever transpired in the first innings, this goes to show that he was losing patience. He wanted to get off the mark or play those big shots very early in his innings.”
