Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden (right) has called young India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal a “phenomenal” talent to watch during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. “Young Jaiswal, well, it’s an exciting prospect to see how he’ll play [in Australia]. He’s a package. His strokeplay is good. His ability in particular to hit on the up through the covers is phenomenal. That’ll also have its vulnerabilities. I’m looking forward to seeing how he adjusts on bouncy tracks [in Australia],” Hayden said on the sidelines of the Ceat Cricket Rating Awards at a city hotel on Wednesday.
Jaiswal was picked as the Test batter of the year while Ravichandran Ashwin got the bowling honour. The Ceat international men’s cricketer of the year award went to India skipper Rohit Sharma while the ODI batter of the year award was claimed by Virat Kohli. Mohd Shami got the ODI bowling honours. The domestic cricketer of the year award was presented to Sai Kishore of Tamil Nadu. India’s T20 World Cup winning coach Rahul Dravid received the lifetime achievement award.
