Standing On The Crease In A Five-day Match Is A Big Thing, Says Yograj Singh
When Brydon Carse: Indian openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal showed the kind of batting discipline rarely associated with the modern game — a trait that drew praise from former India cricketer Yograj Singh, who believes the team’s long-term Test success lies in grit at the top and depth at the bottom.
“Standing on the crease in a five-day match is a big thing — and that’s something today’s players must learn, especially after playing T20s and ODIs,” Yograj Singh told IANS in an interview on Wednesday. “Today, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal have shown that discipline.”
India, inserted into bat by Ben Stokes, went into lunch at 78 for no loss in 26 overs, unscathed and growing in confidence. Rahul remained unbeaten on 40 off 82 balls, calm and composed, while Jaiswal curbed his natural aggression to score 36 not out off 74 deliveries. It was the sort of session Test purists would approve of — hard-fought, patient, and attritional.
