Rohit Sharma asked to ‘call Yashasvi Jaiswal’ for inspirational speech for T20 World Cup

As the selection for the 2024 T20 World Cup approaches, the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal, a regular in India’s white-ball and red-ball cricket, is in the spotlight. Jaiswal was one of the highest-scoring batsmen in the IPL last season but has barely scored any runs this season. The left-handed opening batsman was also considered one of the top contenders for the starting spot in the Indian team at the T20 World Cup, but that may no longer be the case. In this situation, India captain Rohit Sharma was advised to pick up the phone and give Jaiswal a pep talk.

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra admitted in a video on his YouTube channel that he was worried about Jaiswal’s situation and wanted Rajasthan director of cricket operations Rohit (Rohit) or Kumar Sangakkara stepped in.

“I’m a little worried about Yashawi because Yashawi didn’t play like this before. He was trying to kill every ball. You are a very good player and the reason why you are good is because you believe in timing. You are not a wrestler, you Not Andre Russell, your game is very different,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel.

“Because I like this kid so much, I hope Kumar Sangakkara talks to him, otherwise Rohit Sharma should pick up the phone and talk to him – ‘You have to go and play the T20 World Cup, but you don’t need this form.'” Be careful’. He hit a six and a four and then tried another big hit and got out.”

Jaiswal’s scores in the IPL so far are 24, 5, 10, 0, 24, 39. In comparison, some other young batsmen in the league like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag ), etc., all performed miracles with the bat.

With Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill also being considered as starting options, Jaiswal’s continued poor form could lead to his exit from the T20 World Cup soon.
