Jaiswal Is Very Hungry For Runs: Raina Backs Opener's Inclusion For CT
ICC Champions Trophy: Former India all-rounder Suresh Raina backed left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's inclusion in the Rohit Sharma-led squad for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy.
Raina gave credit to captain Rohit for keeping Jaiswal in the squad despite not playing a single ODI to date. The 23-year-old has shown impressive form in the Tests and T20Is for India last year. He was also named in the ICC Men's Test Team of the Year.
“I think that boy is very hungry for runs. I mean, whenever we see his story, I think he has come to that level very eagerly. Hats off to the selectors, especially Rohit Sharma. Without playing ODI, you are taking that boy to the Champions Trophy. You know that he does a lot of hard work, dedication is very good. But he has a different attitude in his eyes, he has a different patience. It seems that this boy has come prepared.
