Indian cricket's "Next Big Thing" Yashasvi Jaiswal is a stickler for processes and there are a few basic rules that he follows while preparing for high-intensity, high-stakes game like the "intense one" against KKR, which he would "remember for a long time".
Jaiswal, who struck IPL's fastest half-century in 13 balls en route his magnificent 98 not out in 47 balls, has now scored 575 runs in 12 games at a strike-rate of 167 plus. He is just one run short of Faf du Plessis' current aggregate of 576.
"I will remember this innings for a long time in my life. It was very intense," said the 21-year-old at the post-match media interaction. When I went to bat, I felt I had very less time and suddenly I felt 'sab sahi jaa raha hai' (everything was falling in place)... I thought I should continue playing like this. It's one of my memorable knocks," Jaiswal told media after the game.
