Australia stars pick the next superstar in Indian cricket, Yashasvi Jaiswal mentioned the most

The Indian team gears up for a busy home season starting from September 19 with the first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai. After the 2-match Test series against Bangladesh, India will be playing another Test series against New Zealand at home before setting off to Australia for the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar series that is set to commence from November 22.

The 5-match Test series is et to reignite one of the fiercest rivalries of the game. For India, the series is crucial not just in terms of the World Test Championship (WTC) but also for scripting a new record Down Under by clinching a hat-trick of Test series wins.

Amidst the buildup, a host of Australian cricket stars were asked about which Indian cricketer according to them will rise to prominence in the coming years. There were 2 names who stood above the rest – Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill.

These 2 young stars have already made their mark on the international stage, thus they received recognition from Australian cricketers during a chat on Star Sports.

Several prominent Australian players, including Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, and Marnus Labuschagne, have been vocal in their admiration of Jaiswal’s talent. While on the other hand, Cameron Green and Travis Head tipped Gill to become the next leader in Indian cricket.

As the Indian team embarks on a busy cricketing schedule for the rest of 2024, the form of both Gill and Jaiswal will be vital in the longest format, especially with the Border-Gavaskar around the corner.
