Sunil Gavaskar made a huge statement about Yashasvi Jaiswal ahead of the 1st Test 

Sunil Gavaskar has stated his support for Yashasvi Jaiswal's likely inclusion in India's Test squad for the forthcoming five-match series against England. The former Indian captain is hopeful about Jaiswal's potential to establish himself in the team, particularly given the home circumstances. Gavaskar cited Jaiswal's previous experience opening for India in the West Indies and South Africa as evidence of his versatility and talent.

Gavaskar spoke with Star Sports' Gameplan on Saturday (January 20) on Jaiswal's chances in the Test series. He said:

“Yashasvi Jaiswal will easily settle in home conditions. He’s also a left-hander. I think he’ll establish himself completely in the Indian Test team after this series.”

Jaiswal, who had a remarkable debut by reaching 171 against the West Indies, had a tough time in the recently concluded two-Test series in South Africa, scoring only 50 runs. The series saw a batting struggle for key players such as Shubman Gill, who scored 74 runs, India's skipper Rohit Sharma, who scored 60 runs, and Shreyas Iyer, who scored 41 runs, showing a collective difficulty for the Indian batting order.
