Jwala Singh’s Statement For Yashasvi Jaiswal
“Given the coach’s confidence, he might score at least two more centuries. I had expected two centuries in Australia, but that didn’t happen. However, I think he’ll score at least two more centuries here. He’s worked hard on his game,” Jwala Singh said during an exclusive chat with NDTV.

“The way he scored the century and the shots he played are remarkable. I’ve known him since he was 12, and he’s mentally tough. His boundary shots were controlled, and this innings will be remembered for a long time. It reminded me of Sourav Ganguly’s innings at Lord’s. Left-handed centuries have a special class,” Singh was further quoted by NDTV.
