‘No matter what, I wanted runs in England’: Dhruv Jurel discloses Yashasvi Jaiswal’s stubborn aspect; watch video | Cricket News – Times of India

After India’s report-breaking Day 1 at Headingley, the BCCI gave followers an inside take a look at the dressing room mindset with a candid chat between centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal and wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel. In the video, Dhruv warmly congratulates Jaiswal for scoring yet one more hundred on overseas soil — this time in England, the place so many visiting batters wrestle. Dhruv says, “You played your first Test in the West Indies — scored a hundred. First Test in Australia — a hundred. Now first Test in England — a hundred, where batting is the toughest. What’s your mindset?” Smiling, Jaiswal shares that for him, it’s all about his will and need to do properly for the crew and the nation. He says, “Whenever I come here, I just want to give my best for my team and my country. I really enjoy practicing alone and preparing myself. I try to make sure every ball I face in practice helps me when I’m in tough situations. You know this too that there are so many moments when we’re under pressure.”

“I actually like that. For example, in the recent intra-squad game, Harshit Rana and Bumrah bhai were bowling really well, I wasn’t scoring runs easily but I kept playing. That gave me a lot of confidence and belief that I can survive and get through tough phases.”Quiz: Who’s that IPL participant? Dhruv then provides a private contact, “When we were playing for India A, you told me you just have to score runs in England no matter what. Even when the ball was moving a lot, you wanted the same challenge in the nets. I think that stubbornness is what makes you different. I’ve seen it since we were kids. But tell everyone what you’re like off the field when there’s no match.” Both snort, and Jaiswal tries to dodge the query, saying, “You tell them!” But then he explains, “I don’t do much. When I need to be serious, I stay serious. I focus on my preparation and try to keep my mind calm. That really helps me.” This small, heartfelt dialog exhibits precisely what followers love about Jaiswal — easy, hardworking, and completely clear in his targets. His dedication to apply and love for stress conditions shine by way of, and it’s this mindset that’s serving to him conquer each problem, from the West Indies to Australia and now England.
