Star opener Yashasvi Jaiswal of India said he was inspired to perform better by the way veteran players Ravindra Jadeja and Rohit Sharma performed in the first innings of their match against England. Mark Wood removed Jaiswal for a score of ten in the third Test between the two titans of cricket in Rajkot. India's innings was then propelled to an incredible total of 445 by captain Rohit and seasoned all-rounder Jadeja. India took the lead thanks to 131 runs from Rohit and his fourth Test century from Jadeja. Having watched the spectacle from the dressing room, Jaiswal was fired up to score heavily in the second half.
I was greatly inspired by the way that Jaddu and Rohit bhai performed in the first innings. Because of their fervor, their conversations, and their resolve to play each game session by session, Jaiswal stated as cited by ICC, "I kept thinking that when I go there, I have to make it count" while in the dressing room.
"The way they were talking about the game, the way they motivated us, I think it's incredible to see them putting a lot of effort," Jaiswal said.Jaiswal amassed 214* runs in an undefeated innings that featured 12 sixes and 14 fours. With the help of six boundaries and three sixes, Sarfaraz Khan scored an undefeated 68* runs, contributing to an unbeaten partnership of 172 runs between them.
The 22-year-old said, "In India, as you grow up, you work really hard for everything." He then gave some reflections on his journey and the value of hard work. You have to put in a lot of effort even just to board the bus. Since I was a young child, I have worked extremely hard to get to the train, auto, and everything else. I know how important every minute is, which is why I work."My main motivation for playing for my country is that, so I just make sure to give it everything I've got whenever I go, then have fun. Being a cricket player, I always follow my feelings. I perform well some times and poorly other times. I think it's amazing and I'm really enjoying it the way they come and the way they talk about cricket and everything else," he continued.
