Yashasvi Jaiswal Indias opening batter recently hit the streets of New York for breakfast alongside his teammates. In this bustling city they were accompanied by the likes of Rinku Singh Kuldeep Yadav and the diligent fielding coach T Dilip.
The Men in Blue began their preparations for the T20 World Cup in New York on Wednesday, May 29, by playing foot volley and doing some light weight conditioning. The next day, Jaiswal, Kuldeep, and Rinku relaxed by going out for breakfast.
Yashasvi Jaiswal took to his own Instagram account and published a photo, giving followers a taste of the adventure. He captioned the post:
“Starting the day right with good food & good company ☕️.”
Jaiswal showcased a remarkable performance during the recent IPL 2024 leaving a lasting impact on fans. Despite a slow start he surged back with an unforgettable unbeaten 104run inning against Mumbai Indians (MI). The player from Rajasthan Royals (RR) concluded the tournament with 435 runs in 15 innings averaging 31.07 and boasting a formidable strike rate of 155.91.
“I would have Shubman Gill over Yashasvi Jaiswal” – Eoin Morgan on India’s 2024 T20 World Cup squad
Yashasvi Jaiswal was chosen by the Indian selectors over Shubman Gill for the 2024 T20 World Cup. Disappointingly Gill was left out of the 15member roster and was designated as one of the reserves.
Former England captain Eoin Morgan stated that he would have selected Gill over Jaiswal for the ICC tournament. Speaking with Sky Sports, he stated:
“The only decision I would have had differently and if I was selecting the squad, I would have Shubman Gill over Yashasvi Jaiswal. I have played alongside him, I know how he thinks. I know how he works. I feel he’s a future leader within that side and I think in big moments, in World Cups the more leaders the better. Even if he’s sitting on the sideline, you still need inspiration from here and there, a sense of positivity.”
