Bad news came for young Yashasvi Jaiswal from cricket experts. Sunil Gavaskar criticized Yashasvi Jaiswal after watching his terrible batting in England. The cricket legend is really angry about Jaiswal’s poor performance.
Jaiswal got out for just 2 runs, which made everyone feel sad. He started this series by playing amazing cricket shots everywhere. However, something has gone totally wrong with his batting skills lately.
Gavaskar saw many mistakes in how Jaiswal holds his bat and moves. The young player can’t play inswinging balls anymore like before. His confidence looks completely gone when facing fast English bowlers now.
India’s top batsmen played really badly in the IND vs ENG 5th Test match. The team is struggling at 204 runs for 6 wickets badly. Only Karun Nair and Washington Sundar saved them from total disaster.
Gavaskar’s Harsh Words
Sunil Gavaskar criticized Yashasvi Jaiswal for making silly footwork mistakes while batting. The experienced player said Jaiswal doesn’t move his front foot properly. His back shoulder position also looks completely wrong during shots.
“There’s a bit of uncertainty and maybe a lack of confidence creeping into Jaiswal’s game. After scoring a hundred in the first Test, he hasn’t looked very fluent,” Gavaskar said.
“That’s possibly why he’s not getting his front foot far enough forward to smother this return. But he’s a good player. I think if someone sits with him and works on a few technical aspects, like getting his front foot forward and not opening up his shoulder too much, it could help.”
The cricket legend thinks Jaiswal feels too scared to play freely now. Fear stops young players from hitting balls like they normally do. This mental problem affects batting technique more than people usually think.

Gavaskar believes Jaiswal can become good again with hard practice sessions. He must fix his shoulder alignment with the wicketkeeper quickly. These basic changes will bring back his natural batting confidence.
What People Think
Many cricket fans liked Gavaskar’s honest comments about Jaiswal’s batting problems recently. They want senior players to help young cricketers learn properly. Good advice helps players become better at their game eventually.

The IND vs ENG 5th Test showed how tough international cricket becomes for everyone.
