Following India\u2019s series draw against England away from home, Indian cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar praised the opening duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul for consistently \u201claying the foundation” for big scores throughout the series.<\/p>\n

Jaiswal continued his impressive performance in overseas conditions, excelling on tours to Australia and England. KL Rahul had his most consistent and fulfilling series as a batter, stepping into the role of a senior statesman for the team in the absence of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravichandran Ashwin. Their contrasting approaches with the bat were effective, helping Team India achieve a well-fought 2-2 draw and marking the beginning of the \u2018Shubman Gill era\u2019.<\/p>\n

Speaking in a video posted on his official Reddit account, Sachin commented on the duo: \u201cThe way both openers batted, they have laid a solid foundation all the series. KL did 500-plus runs, Jaiswal also scored close to 500 runs. This had not happened for a long time. This foundation is critical, we have been able to do it successfully.”<\/p>\n

What Did Sachin Tendulkar Say About Yashasvi Jaiswal And KL Rahul?<\/h2>\n

Sachin lauded Jaiswal for his mindset, knowing exactly when to play aggressively or conservatively. He praised Jaiswal\u2019s first Test century at Leeds on a challenging pitch where the ball moved. He also noted that Jaiswal\u2019s century in the final Test at The Oval showcased \u201ccharacter, maturity, and determination.”<\/p>\n

\u201cJaiswal impressed me because of his mindset. He is fearless, knows how to accelerate, when to be at the non-strikers\u2019 end, and when to play a phase out carefully. You cannot bat in a single gear. You need to use different gears. This is what he did right from the first Test. He did look uncomfortable at times in the first Test, but eventually it boils down to the right column of the scorecard, and he scored a 100. For me, it was important. The first innings of the first match in a five-Test series is very critical. He scored a century on a difficult track where the ball it seemed would move and trouble the batters. But the ball did not move as much,” he said.<\/p>\n

Sachin also highlighted how well Jaiswal guided nightwatchman Akash Deep during their century stand, with Akash contributing a valuable fifty at The Oval.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you form a foundation, other batters can construct on it. This is also what he did in the second Test with his knock of 87. He must have been gutted on his dismissal, because it was looking to be a long innings, and there was a lapse of concentration. That is how he is, that is how his shots should keep going. You cannot play all the shots right. In the last Test, when he scored a century, a magnificent one on a difficult track to bat on. He showed character, maturity and determination. The way he guided Akash Deep, motivated him to score, it was a treat to watch,” he added.<\/p>\n

In five matches, Jaiswal scored 411 runs at an average of 41.10, with two centuries and two fifties. His highest score was 118, making him the ninth-highest run-getter in the series.<\/p>\n

Speaking on KL Rahul, Sachin praised the opener for his solid defence and ability to leave balls effectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought KL scored superbly, one of the best I have seen him bat. His defence, close to the body and the way he was leaving, he looked so organised and in control. I saw he was frustrating the bowlers, because he was not playing, and they would wonder where they could bowl him. When the ball was in striking range, he played some magnificent shots. The way he batted in the series, I enjoyed that, he looked in that zone. His footwork was precise, organised,” he added.<\/p>\n

During the series, KL ended as the third-highest run-getter, with 532 runs in 10 innings at an average of 53.20, including two centuries and two fifties, with his highest score being 137. This was also his best-ever Test series with the bat as he crossed the 400-run mark for the first time.<\/p>\n
