Yashasvi Jaiswal, Double century, India vs England: Gambhir said that the double century of young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal should not be exaggerated because doing so increases the burden of expectations which harms the game of young players like him.
Khabbu opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal created a stir in the cricket world by scoring a double century in the second test being played between India and England. Everyone is praising his performance. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir has also reacted to his double century.
Gambhir said that young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal's double century should not be exaggerated because doing so increases the burden of expectations which hurts the game of young players like him. Gambhir said I congratulate Yashasvi. I want to tell everyone to let Yashasvi play. We have seen before that in India, the achievements of sportspersons are exaggerated and they are portrayed as heroes. Due to this, the pressure of expectations increases and players are not able to play their natural game. Let Yashasvi enjoy his cricket.
Yashasvi batted brilliantly in the first innings of the Visakhapatnam Test, scoring 209 runs with the help of 19 fours and seven sixes in 290 balls. He has become the third youngest Indian batsman to score a double century for India in Tests. Before him, Vinod Kambli had scored two double centuries at the age of 21. At the same time, Sunil Gavaskar had scored a double century at the age of 21. Now Yashasvi has done this at the age of 22. He is the 25th batsman to achieve this milestone for India.
Talking about Yashasvi's Test career, he has scored 637 runs in 11 innings of six matches at an average of 57.91. During this period, he scored two centuries with his bat. These also include a double century. He has also scored two half-centuries.
