Youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal has been named in the ICC U19 World Cup squad which will play in 2020. On Thursday, the batting star shared Rahul Dravid had advised him to focus on each ball which immensely helped him. The 17-year-old Mumbai batsman has been in the news ever since he came in the circuit. Recently he has given a sterling performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

“Rahul (Dravid) sir guides us so well. His plans for a practice session are so clear that we know well in advance of a practice session about areas to work on. He advised me to focus on one ball at a time and its helped me immensely,” Jaiswal, told the reporters.

Rahul Dravid is NCA director, as well as, India A and U-19 coach. Both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Divyansh Saxena, another member of the U-19 World Cup team, were felicitated by Ajinkya Rahane. They play for the famous Dadar Union, which has produced many Test cricketers.

“I will just try to treat it like just another assignment and stick to the same process that I have followed all along. I anyway don’t think too much about results, so I will just stick to my routine and will try to give my best,” he said.

Jaiswal recently played for the senior Mumbai team in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he smashed three centuries, including a double-ton.

“Both are excellent platforms but they have their own challenges. The senior domestic set-up has oppositions with so much of experience so they plan better than U-19 but even U-19 isn’t easy. With the experience at the senior level, I felt I had to optimise my experience. It taught me a lot to be consistent,” added the youngster.
