'Tum ache ho, but Virat ke level ke nahi ho bhai' - Fans react to Yashasvi Jaiswal's statement of playing at number 3 in 2023 ODI World Cup

The young Mumbai batter Yashasvi Jaiswal led the Rajasthan Royals to a commanding nine-wicket victory against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday, May 11. He also scored the quickest fifty in IPL history. According to Yashasvi Jaiswal, he is still perfecting the art of winning games for his teams. According to Yashasvi Jaiswal, he is still perfecting the art of winning games for his teams.

Jaiswal had been batting on 94 when Rajasthan Royals needed three runs in order to win, therefore he required a six to reach his century. Nevertheless, he was able to hit a four from Shardul Thakur’s first delivery of the fourteenth over, and he eventually made 98 from 47 balls which comprised 12 fours and 5 sixes.

Yashasvi’s statement after winning the Player of the Match award

Yashasvi Jaiswal spoke to the media after the game and spoke about his feeling after such a magnificent knock. He said, “I always have it in my heart to go out and do well. That's how I think. Nice feeling that we have won. It's not like everything happened right but I try my best. The process is very important, how I prepare and what I'm telling myself is as well.” 

The young selfless player then spoke about how his hundred wasn’t important at that time at all. He said, “The shot with which I won is what's most pleasing because I'm learning to play till the end and win it for the team. That's my motto. I'm blessed, grateful and trying my best. I just wanted to make the NRR higher and not thinking about hundred.”

After the post-match presentation, Yashasvi Jaiswal attended the post-match press conference where he first spoke about his intentions to play at the upcoming ODI World Cup and what his dream related to it. He said, “I want to Play at 3 in ODI world cup which is happening in India. This is my Dream, I hope Rohit Bhaiya Considers me."

No way, it's just start of career, someone can be very good or bad , one should not be judged so soon.... Should play 2-3 years in domestic for now.

Bhai I think the way u playing , u can replace Rohit at opening .

If he is up for consideration (which seems unlikely), he’d be a better fit as an opener. Explosive + left-handed + need of the hour.

He will surely be picked in the squad . Whether he plays or not depends on other performances

Let him play one more IPL this way and make mumbai win the ranji trophy, then can be considered, only on one season form no one can knock at team indias door. Dilli dur hai.

Ok Rohit place is in question..and he is not a selector. Don't beg.

— Ashu (@ashutoshkojha) May 12, 2023

I guess he said so because if he would have said I want to open that indirectly meant I want to replace you & he didn't want to mess with RO as of now since he is captain & irrespective of form he will not take the call to step down & let a in-form player take his place.

I think he should open in the world cup, shubman and gill would be a great combo and virat and kl for experienced middle order
