Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma has praised three young indian cricketers Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, and Sarfaraz Khan for their excellent start in Test cricket. These players stepped up when senior players like Virat Kohli and KL Rahul were unavailable during India’s Test series against England. They helped India win the five-match series 4-1 by handling England’s aggressive batting approach.
Impressive Performances in England Series
Jurel and Sarfaraz made their Test debuts during the series, while Jaiswal had already played a few matches. Jaiswal made a strong impression with a century in the West Indies, but it was during the England series that he truly stood out. He scored 712 runs in 5 matches, becoming one of the few Indian players to score more than 700 runs in a Test series, joining Sunil Gavaskar in this exclusive club. Jurel won the Player of the Match award on his debut with great wicketkeeping and a 90-run innings. Sarfaraz also contributed with three half-centuries in five innings.
