2nd Test: India Batting Coach Kotak Lauds Jaiswal’s Determination And Adaptability
Arun Jaitley Stadium: India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak praised Yashasvi Jaiswal’s determination and tactical awareness after the opener’s unbeaten 173 helped India reach 318/2 at stumps on Day One of the second and final Test against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Friday.
Jaiswal, who hit 36 in the first Test in Ahmedabad, dished out a masterclass in tempo control while hitting his fifth 150-plus score, including hitting 22 boundaries. He absorbed pressure when there was an early swing, capitalised on loose deliveries in the day, and tightened up again when West Indies regained discipline later.
His innings not only put India in control of the match but also showcased his remarkable consistency and conversion rate. As per stats from Cricket-21, of Jaiswal’s seven Test hundreds, five have been converted into scores of 150 or more - a conversion rate of 71%, second only to Dennis Amiss (73%) among batters with at least five centuries.
