'He told me to...': Yashasvi Jaiswal reveals the six-word advice Rohit Sharma shared with him at The Oval

Team India emerged as the more dominant side on Day 3 of the Oval Test, and opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal was the bearer of the ascendancy that has set the tone for India’s victory on Day 4. After going unbeaten at 51 on Day 2, Jaiswal continued the blitz on the third day of the Test and completed a scintillating ton to render a certain edge to India. He wrapped the series in the same way with which he began- with a century- and registered his 6th Test hundred and second of the series.

Jaiswal reveals Rohit’s advice

When Jaiswal was in the middle, the camera panned to one of the greatest stalwarts of Indian cricket’s history, Rohit Sharma. The former India Test captain was in attendance at the Oval and even left an encouraging message for Jaiswal, which he revealed in the press conference that followed the close of the day’s play.

“He told me to hang in there and bat long,” said the southpaw.

Though Jaiswal could not take his innings beyond the 118-run mark, Team India thoroughly needed runs from his bat, and his knock could prove to be the difference between the two teams in the end.

The series makes Jaiswal more mature

The series turned out to be topsy-turvy for the Indian batter; he was a hit on occasions and was a complete miss at times. However, Jaiswal’s career trajectory is only moving upwards, putting out the impression that the 23-year-old would have surely gained a lot of takeaways in the last 40 or so days.

Talking more about his learnings he got from the series, Jaiswal said: “It’s all about how I fight. Always, the mentality is to go out there and fight it out and enjoy.” Because in the end, (and) as I tell myself that it’s the game and we need to enjoy the game. That is very important. With that, we should have fun."

“I am proud of myself and all my teammates. We want fun. We want some battle in the middle. That is the fun. That’s why you play Test cricket,” he said.
