Indian cricket sensation Shubman Gill has shed light on the rationale behind the conspicuous silence of Rohit Sharma regarding Yashasvi Jaiswal’s exceptional performance in the ongoing Test series against England. Jaiswal’s meteoric rise to prominence has captured headlines, with the young prodigy notching consecutive double centuries in the series, amassing a staggering 500-plus runs.

Despite Jaiswal’s remarkable exploits, Rohit Sharma, a senior figure in the Indian squad, has refrained from publicly commending the budding talent on his monumental achievements. Gill, however, dismissed speculation of a deliberate decision by the team management to downplay Jaiswal’s accomplishments, lauding the young opener as a “sensational player.” He hinted at the possibility of Rohit addressing Jaiswal’s stellar performance post the conclusion of the series.

“I don’t think there’s a problem with the youngsters being not humble. We have seen Jaiswal scoring back-to-back double hundreds. If you don’t have it in you, you won’t be able to score back-to-back double tons. There aren’t many people in the world who have scored back-to-back double hundreds in Test cricket. So he definitely is a sensational player. We have seen it. I think he’s played around eight or nine Tests. We have seen it in him. I don’t think there’s any conscious decision. Maybe Rohit bhai didn’t want to talk about it at that point of time,” he said.

The extraordinary feats of Jaiswal have sparked widespread admiration and accolades, with former cricketing luminaries worldwide drawing parallels between him and legends such as Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar, and Virender Sehwag. The 22-year-old’s inclusion in the esteemed company of Virat Kohli and other cricketing icons underscores the magnitude of his impact on the cricketing landscape.

As the cricketing fraternity eagerly awaits further developments in the series, the intrigue surrounding Rohit Sharma’s response to Jaiswal’s extraordinary display adds a compelling subplot to the ongoing contest against England.
