NEW DELHI: Yashasvi Jaiswal mirrors Virender Sehwag's batting style in his own way. Sehwag's batting mantra was simple: 'See the ball, hit the ball.' Apart from this, the hand-eye coordination and the habit of humming a Bollywood tune while smashing a six was Sehwag's unique style.
While Yashasvi doesn't emulate Sehwag's habit of humming Bollywood tunes while hitting gigantic maximums, the 21-year-old exhibits a similar aggressive approach while batting. Whether in Tests or T20Is, the left-handed batsman remains calm but his approach is quite similar to the former India swashbuckling batsman who set the standards for scoring at a brisk pace from the very start of an innings.
During the recent second T20I against Australia in Thiruvananthapuram, Yashasvi, who scored a quickfire 21 off 8 balls in the opening match of the series, initially aimed to find the boundaries early on. However, the sluggish nature of the pitch thwarted his plans to go big, forcing him to settle for singles.
