Ex-India cricketer Gautam Gambhir is not in favour of over-hyping Yashasvi Jaiswal’s double ton in the second Test against England as he feels the natural game of youngsters like him is adversely affected. 

“I want to congratulate the youngster [Jaiswal] but, I want to tell everyone that let the young man play. We have seen in the past that in India we have a habit, especially the media, to over-hype their achievements and give them tags and make them look like heroes. The pressure of expectation gets the better of them and the players are not able to play their natural game. Let him grow and enjoy his cricket,” Gambhir said.
