Follow UsRajasthan Royals and India Test opener Yashasvi Jaiswal praised his franchise coach, Rahul Dravid, calling it a privilege to have someone like him in this era.
“He is also an incredible human being. Having someone like Rahul Dravid Sir and seeing him up close is an opportunity to learn — not just about cricket, but also about the way he carries himself off the field,” Jaiswal was quoted as saying to official broadcaster JioHotstar.
“He has maintained such grace and composure over the years, and there is so much to absorb from him. I am truly excited to be here with him and look forward to enjoying this TATA IPL season alongside him,” added the southpaw.
Jaiswal, who recently made a big move, abandoning his childhood side, Mumbai, in domestic cricket to lead Goa, also revealed his modus operandi in any game.
“For me, the key question is always: What does my team need at this moment? Based on that, I shape my approach and play in a way that benefits the team. If the situation demands that I score 15 runs off six balls, I will go for it,” said the 23-year-old.
“During practice, I create different match scenarios in my mind—how to chase a target, how to rotate the strike, and how to adapt to various situations,” he added.
