Former India skipper Dilip Vengsarkar and Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane have advised Mumbai-based U-19 batsmen Yashasvi Jaiswal and Divyansh Saxena to grab the opportunity and do not play under pressure when they represent the country at the U-19 World Cup in South Africa starting
January 17.

Time to raise the bar

Dadar Union-s Jaiswal and Saxena were felicitated by Rahane in presence of Vengsarkar and former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar at the club-s ground in Matunga yesterday. "It is a great opportunity for both. They are excellent players. They have scored big runs and got selected on merit. They have reached a stage where they have to raise their bar. You have to grab the opportunity with both hands and do extremely well...that-s very important," said Vengsarkar, who handles the affairs of Dadar Union, an institution he took pride in representing throughout his career.
