Jaiswal well-placed to carry legacy of Tendulkar, Kohli: Greg Chappell

Deccan Chronicle  

Perth: Yashasvi Jaiswal looks well-placed to carry forward the glorious legacy of batting excellence established by the likes of Sachin Tendukar and Virat Kohli, said former India coach Greg Chappell, waxing eloquent on the country's cricketing infrastructure and planning.Writing in his column for the 'Sydney Morning Herald', Chappell said he was highly impressed with Jaiswal, who smashed a 161-run knock in the opening Test against Australia in Perth to be one among the architects of the visitors' 295-run win on Sunday. "The young opener is fearless and appears poised to inherit the mantle of Indian batting excellence, following the likes of Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar," Chappell wrote. "When I asked a young Sarfaraz Khan � who has played six Tests for India but can't break into this team � about the balance between cricket and school for him as a then 16-year-old, he said, 'Oh, I don't go to school, I can go to school later if I want to, but I only get one chance at cricket'," he recalled. Chappell, who has worked extensively in Cricket Australia's junior talent programme, warned the stakeholders that lack of competitive matches would hurt development of young players.
