Yashasvi Jaiswal looks well-placed to carry forward the glorious legacy of batting excellence established by the likes of Sachin Tendukar and Virat Kohli, said former India coach Greg Chappell, waxing eloquent on the country’s cricketing infrastructure and planning.
Writing in his column for the ‘Sydney Morning Herald’, Chappell said he was highly impressed with Jaiswal, who smashed a 161-run knock in the opening Test
against Australia in Perth to be one among the architects of the visitors’ 295-run win on Sunday.
