Young Indian cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal was seen engaged in a lively discussion with head coach Gautam Gambhir, focusing on his tendency to play extravagant shots that led to his dismissals. This behavior might be attributed to the recent two months of T20 cricket, but Gambhir is known for his tough love approach. According to reports from a sports outlet, Jaiswal was attempting to hit nearly every delivery, resulting in multiple dismissals. Gambhir stepped in to provide guidance, which Jaiswal accepted and later adjusted his approach.

Gambhir reportedly had an extensive conversation with Jaiswal while he practiced in the nets. Although the specifics of their discussion were not revealed, it is believed to have revolved around improving Jaiswal's batting technique.

Jaiswal recently participated in the India 'A' squad's matches against the England Lions, where his performance was less than stellar, scoring 24, 64, 17, and 5, with only one half-century to his name. Following Rohit Sharma's exit, Jaiswal has been earmarked for the opening position, with his batting partner yet to be determined.

In a previous team meeting, Gambhir emphasized that the team would not dwell on the retirements of key players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and R Ashwin. He expressed confidence that the team would showcase their true capabilities against any formidable opponent. Despite a rocky start to his coaching career, including a 0-3 loss to New Zealand in home Tests and a disappointing Border-Gavaskar Trophy defeat in Australia, Gambhir's position has been somewhat secured following Rohit Sharma's removal from Test duties.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has made a significant mark in Test cricket in a relatively short time. The left-handed opener has accumulated 1,798 runs in 19 Tests, boasting an impressive average of 52.88. His record includes four centuries and ten fifties across 36 innings.

His highest score of 214 not out was achieved against England in early 2024. Jaiswal has shown particular prowess against England, averaging 89.00 in nine innings with two centuries and three half-centuries. At home, his average rises to 60.61. This tour marks Jaiswal's first experience playing against England, with India set to compete in five Tests, starting with the first match at Headingley on June 20.
