“India provided a great lesson to England in how to play in Australia. “

– Michael Vaughan

The former English captain gushed about how Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul
and Virat Kohli, despite being good white ball cricketers, showed
application in dealing with Australia and reckoned it was instructional
for England’s aggro-fixated Bazballers, wiriting in The Telegraph. “An education for England’s batsmen who play only one way…” he stressed.




“After being bowled out for 150 on the first day, they provided a great lesson in how to play here. Perth has huge boundaries and a very slow
outfield. It’s great to be flamboyant and aggressive, but you’ve also
got to be able to defend and leave the ball. Soak up certain spells or
tactics from the Australians. That is exactly what Yashasvi Jaiswal and
KL Rahul did in the opening partnership, and Virat Kohli did later. All
three of them are great white-ball players but had strong defences to
the very best balls of Australia’s big three, Mitchell Starc, Josh
Hazlewood and Pat Cummins. That is what you need in Australia. It was an education for England’s batsmen, who often play only one way –
attacking. You are allowed to let one through to the keeper.”

“Jaiswal appears poised to inherit the mantle of Indian batting excellence.”
