Veteran Australia Paceman Admires Yashasvi Jaiswal's Prowess In Perth Test

During an appearance on Star Sports, Australian pace bowler Mitchell Starc gave India's young batting star Yashasvi Jaiswal high marks. The 22-year-old southpaw batter was hailed by the Australian pacer as a tremendous talent in Indian cricket, and he will go on to play a lot of cricket for the national side.

"He's not in his first game, so there's obviously been a bit of hype around him, and he's certainly very skilful. I think we saw that over the second innings this week. He's a huge talent in India, and he's going to play a lot of cricket for them. It was nice to get him cheaply in the first innings, but he certainly made amends in the second," Mitchell Starcsaid.
