BGT 2024-25: If India Have To Win Series, Jaiswal Will Have To Play An Important Role, Says Pujara

Gavaskar Trophy Down Under: Ahead of the first Test against Australia in Perth, experienced India batter Cheteshwar Pujara has termed left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal as the most important cog in the visitor's side to claim their third consecutive Border-Gavaskar Trophy Down Under. Pujara, who has played 103 Tests for India, draws Jaiswal's comparison with retired David Warner and emphasised that his form in the series will be crucial for India.

“Yashasvi is probably one of the most talented cricketers India has produced. And I am very confident that even going forward, I know that he has a lot to prove, especially playing overseas. But he will play a key role in this particular series. If we have to win the series, his role is the most important one. He is an aggressive player. He can play a role like what David Warner used to do for the Australian team," Cheteshwar Pujara said during the Star Sports Press Room on Jaiswal's role in the Indian team.

"For us, I think his batting will be crucial. Even in India, when we were losing the series and he made runs, we were in a strong position. Being an opening player, he holds the key for the Indian batting lineup. I am sure that he will be successful. Obviously, there will be challenges throughout this series, but he is mentally tough," he said.
