Indian cricket team’s rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal is now all set to revolutionize the spin department with his exceptional leg-spin bowling skills after establishing himself as one of the brightest batting talents in the country. He is currently playing for India B in the ongoing Duleep Trophy 2024.

As India prepare for a gruelling schedule, Jaiswal’s bowling prowess could prove a game-changer for the team, which will play 10 Test matches against Bangladesh, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa in the coming months.

Yashasvi Jaiswal to revolutionise India’s spin attack with his leg-spin

Renowned for his explosive batting, Yashasvi Jaiswal has put considerable effort into perfecting his spin bowling technique, and his commitment is about to pay off. His rapid development as a bowler will inject new energy into India’s spin attack, offering an exciting new dimension to their game.

Ahead of the start of the India B vs India A Duleep Trophy 2024 match, the 22-year-old opener once again admitted that he is practising his bowling a lot and trying his best to improve his leg-spin as he has been told to be ready to spin his arms whenever the need arises.

The left-hander, who could score only 30 runs off 59 balls before falling to India’s Khaleel Ahmed in the tournament opener, also said that he really enjoys bowling and is willing to utilise his talent whenever his team needs his experience.

I am practicing my bowling a lot: Jaiswal

Yashasvi Jaiswal said in the pre-match interaction on Jio Cinema, “I am practising my deliveries a lot and I am trying my best to improve my leg spin. I am really enjoying the deliveries.”

Meanwhile, Yashasvi Jaiswal has described the experience of batting alongside Rohit as an “amazing experience” as it has provided him with invaluable insights into the game. Since his debut against the West Indies last year, Jaiswal and the Indian captain have developed a strong opening partnership, racking up several century stands in their 16 Test innings together.

Yashasvi Jaiswal also admires Sharma’s game management and his deep understanding of the pitch. He believes that young players can pick up important insights from the veteran Indian opener, particularly in adapting their batting techniques to different conditions, such as seam-friendly or curved tracks, and adjusting strategies in response to losing wickets.

He further noted, “You can learn from him things like adjusting your batting to suit the tracks or changing your batting when one or two wickets fall.” Notably, Rohit and Yashasvi have aggregated 980 runs as a pair at a staggering average of 61.25 in 16 Tests so far.

The Indian opener, who completed a year in international cricket, reflected on his growth and progress as a player. The left-hander feels that he has developed a greater understanding of his game. He is now better at assessing various match situations and adapting his approach to benefit the team.

Jaiswal concluded by saying, “Now I can see a lot of scenarios and change my game (accordingly) for the team and read the situations.”
