Bangar recalled how Virender Sehwag used to dust the opposition teams with his aggressive batting in the top order, and boosted the morale of the Indian camp. The cricketer-turned-commentator said that when Jaiswal is in full form, he has a similar effect on the Indian dressing room and the upcoming batsmen.
Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Sanjay Bangar said, “I remember when Virender Sehwag used to give a start, things looked different in the dressing room. The whole energy of the dressing room used to change. It not only affects him himself, but also makes the job easier for other batsmen. When he bats aggressively at the start, this is the importance of his contribution.”
Sehwag: Jaiswal performed brilliantly on the England tour
On the England tour, Jaiswal scored 411 runs in 10 innings at an average of 41.10 in the five-match series. The 23-year-old scored a century in the first innings of the first Test and another century in the second innings of the fifth Test. Along with KL Rahul, Jaiswal gave India a solid start many times. If India win the fifth Test and level the series, his century in the second innings will hold a special place in Indian cricket history.
Bangar also praised Jaiswal for playing a supporting role during nightwatchman Akash Deep’s brilliant performance in the first session on the third day. Jaiswal had scored just 33 runs in a 107-run partnership with Akash Deep for the third wicket.
