Ahead of the match, newly appointed Mumbai captain Siddhesh Lad informed reporters on Thursday that he had heard about Yashasvi Jaiswal's desire to evolve as the keeper-batter from a regular opener. It is strongly believed that Jaiswal has taken this initiative with the aim of sneaking into India's white-ball squad.
There are multiple keeper-batters as well in the national team across the formats. Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant are there as the keeper-batters. Dhruv Jurel is also in the line to make his place permanent in any of the three formats.
Mumbai captain confirms Yashasvi Jaiswal wants to become a keeper-batter
“That’s what I heard from him. And he wants to eventually, in future, keep wickets for maybe Mumbai or go on to keep wickets for the Indian team, is what he is aiming for. That is what I feel, but I haven’t got any clarity on that," Lad told reporters on Thursday.
Wasim Jaffer advises Yashasvi Jaiswal only to keep focus on batting
"I think he needs to focus on his batting ahead of the Ranji Trophy and the New Zealand tour. I myself was surprised when I heard this. It is very difficult if you have not kept wickets since childhood. First of all, it is a very demanding job. Apart from that, where is that place even if he starts? There are Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, and Rishabh Pant. I am sure he wants to do it in white-ball cricket,” Jaffer said on his YouTube channel.
Meanwhile, Jaiswal was dismissed without scoring a single run in Mumbai's first innings against Chandigarh. He will have to play a good knock to justify his talent as a regular batter.
