Talking about missing out on his maiden double century, Yashasvi Jaiswal said, “Of course, I’m disappointed. It happens in cricket. I just need to keep learning and keep thinking that how I can do better when I come to bat next. I feel whenever I bat I try to make sure that how long I can bat and of course, there is disappointment when I get out. I need to just keep learning, I always want to do well for the team. I go out there with the same mindset. It is a pleasure to go out there and play for your country.”

Yashasvi Jaiswal had a record-breaking near-perfect Test debut and continued his good form in the second Test as well. After a blistering knock of 171 in his debut innings, he scored a fifty in the second Test against the Windies. So far, the decision of adding Jaiswal to the mix has paid off for India, and the Coach and Skipper would want his reign to continue.
