Former South African batter AB de Villiers heaped praise on young Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal for his impressive performance on his test debut against West Indies. The 21-year-old produced a memorable match-winning performance for India in his first game.
The Southpaw scripted history in his debut game for India, as he recorded a hundred in his maiden Test on away soil. The Mumbai-born batter became the 17th batter to score a century on his debut for the Indian team in the longer format of the game.
Speaking on his youtube channel, Ab de Villiers hailed Yashasvi Jaiswal for his phenomenal innings on his debut for India and reckons that the youngster has got special things to do for the country in the future and also praised for his performance in the recently concluded IPL 2023.
“The player who stood out for me was Yashasvi Jaiswal. Right at the top of the order, in his first Test, it does not happen every day that a youngster plays his first Test and scores a century.
“The first time I saw him play in the IPL, I knew there was something special about him. You could look at him and feel how much time he has to face the ball,” Ab de Villiers said.
Yashasvi Jaiswal made it into the Indian team following a terrific IPL season with the Rajasthan Royals and a domestic season with Mumbai. He impressed everyone with his fearless approach to batting at the top of the order.
