Rohit Sharma's 199-week-old prophecy goes viral after Yashasvi Jaiswal's record England ton

Hindustan Times  

There was a prophecy made at the start of 2020, when the world was grappled with the fear of the dreaded coronavirus, on a 17-year-old left-handed batter by Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma's prophecy on Yashasvi Jaiswal seems to have come true Despite watching six wickets fall on the other end through the course of his knock, Yashasvi powered India through to 336/6 at the end of Day 1 with his second career Test century, having smashed 171 against West Indies in Dominica in his debut last year. The 22-year-old's knock of 179 is now the highest individual score by an Indian batter on the opening day of a Test match against England, the joint second-highest in a day's play against the opposition and the second-best score on the first day of a home Test, behind Wasim Jaffer's 192* against Pakistan in 2007 at Eden Gardens. Rohit had responded to the video saying, “Next superstar.” Screenshot of Rohit Sharma's four-year-old post on Yashasvi Jaiswal Yashasvi's unbeaten 257-ball knock, laced with 17 boundaries and five maximums, always seemed around the corner after his fluent 80 and 74 in the opening Test against England in Hyderabad. Yashasvi now aims to become the first Indian batter to score a double ton in Test cricket since Mayank Agarwal's 243 against Bangladesh in Indore in 2019.
