Talented youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal has already learnt a lot while staying with the Indian team in the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia when he was called up as a standby player as well. He has shared the dressing room with veterans like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane and discussed the game too. He recently opened up on their strong mindset as well.

Speaking exclusively to Sports Tak, Yashasvi Jaiswal said: “They (Rohit, Kohli, Rahane) have an incredibly strong mindset and great clarity of things. They advised me that it’s upto me how I take my game forward as although there will be learning, but in the end it’s me who has to go out there and perform. There’s a lot to learn and I hope I keep enjoying the process. Absolutely it’s all about the mindset as Rohit bhaiya, Virat bhaiya and Ajju bhaiya have told me. It’s all about how I am able to adapt to the situation and conditions and win the game for my team. The intention is always to think what’s the best I can do for my team.”

However, Yashasvi Jaiswal has played brilliantly against some world-class bowlers in the IPL and he has probably shown that he is ready for the international level as well. It will be interesing to see if he can bat at the No.3 spot in the Test side in the absence of Cheteshwar Pujara.

He stated: “I keep myself motivated all the time that I can win games for my team from any situation. That gives me the confidence to think positive and have faith in myself.”
