Rajasthan Royals’ Yashaswi Jaiswal was bowled by former Indian player Suresh Raina after his explosive performance against Kolkata Knight Riders. The Royals’ opener scored an unbeaten 98 off 47 balls to give the team a 9-wicket win against Kolkata on Thursday.
Impressed by Jaiswal’s blazing bat, Raina made a big revelation. It has been stated that Jaiswal would have been included in India’s upcoming ODI World Cup squad had he been the selector. Raina recalls former India explosive batsman Virender Sehwag as he relates Jaiswal’s batting approach
If I were the Indian selector, I would have signed him for the World Cup today as he is very fresh minded. He reminds me of Virender Sehwag. I am sure Rohit Sharma will see this. Because he will need batsmen like him for the World Cup – said Raina.
Jaiswal scored the fastest runs from the first over in the match and scored the fastest half-century in the IPL. It is noteworthy that Jaiswal scored 26 runs in the first over against Nitish Rana. It is also the most expensive first over in the top-tier league. His overall innings included 12 boundaries and five sixes at an excellent strike rate of 208.51.
Jaiswal has scored 575 runs in 12 matches this IPL season at an amazing average of 52.27 including one century and four fifties. Notably, Team India is yet to announce the squad for the mega ODI event to be held in India in October.
