India vs England 3rd Test has recently concluded with the home side winning the game by a huge margin of 434 runs. The English batters failed to chase down the target of 556 runs and were bowled out for 122 runs on Day 4. Yashasvi Jaiswal is having a purple patch in the series the left-handed batter in the 3 games has scored two double hundreds and innings of 80 runs he is currently the highest run-scorer in the series, with 545 runs from 6 innings at an average of 109 and a strike-rate of 81.1. 

The batter played an aggressive knock of 214 runs off 236 balls, smashing the English bowlers for 14 fours and 12 sixes with 60% of the runs coming from boundaries. The Mumbai-born batter has been one of the upcoming stars for the side. The Southpaw so far has scored three hundreds with two of them being double and one daddy hundred. After the explosive innings of the batter England opener Ben Duckett commented that they deserve some credit for inspiring players to play aggressively.

But the 29-year-old faced backlash, after his controversial comments about the young India batter. Former England captain Nasser Hussain, in a podcast show with his former teammate Mike Atherton, believes that Jaiswal has not learned from the Duckett or anyone else he has worked hard on his won.

He's not learnt from you: Nasser Hussain

Speaking to Sky Sports, Hussain said, "He's not learnt from you. He's learnt from his upbringing, all the hard yards he had to put in growing up. If anything, lads, look at him and learn from him. I hope there's a little bit of self-introspection going on. Otherwise, it becomes a cult - and, at times, Bazball and this regime has been described as such, where you cannot criticise within or externally."

"When you're living in an environment in a bubble that has got so much good messaging and positive vibes, you go into a press conference and you're never going to step back and go, 'they may have got too many and we're just going to play for a draw'. I enjoy their positivity but there has to be a little bit of realism in there as well. Obviously, chasing 600 in India batting last is not a particularly good option to look."
