Speaking on Colours Cineplex, Ojha commended Jaiswal’s batting style, pace and the maturity displayed by the Indian opener. Further, the former spinner noted that Yashasvi knew that there were very few tickets available for T20 World Cup 2024 and that if he had to get there, he would have to finish the game as well.
“He scored a huge percentage of the team’s runs. It shows his hunger. He knows very few tickets are available for the World Cup. If you have to get that, you will have to play like this and it’s extremely important that you finish the game as well,” Ojha said.
