Flawless Chase: Yashasvi Jaiswal on India’s Strategy

Yashasvi Jaiswal, the opening batsman for India, disclosed that he and captain Shubman Gill were concentrating more on the team’s success than individual scores as they batted in order to win the fourth T20 International against Zimbabwe without losing any wickets.

Chasing 153, Jaiswal and Gill went to work, destroying the total in 15.2 overs. This was only the second time that India had defeated Zimbabwe by 10 wickets in a T20 international on Saturday.

“We were only thinking about finishing the game and make sure that the team wins and we finish without any loss (of a wicket),” Jaiswal told a group of fans after the game in a video shared by the BCCI.

Although Jaiswal, the aggressor in the partnership, appeared certain to reach a century, he finished unbeaten on 93 off 53 balls with 12 fours and two sixes, giving India an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.

“The only thing in the mind was to finish the game without any loss,” Jaiswal said.

“I really enjoyed playing today, it was an amazing experience with Shubman bhai and I really enjoyed scoring the runs. Whenever I play for India I really enjoy and feel proud,” he added.

The 22-year-old, who just joined the international circuit last year, was part of the T20 World Cup-winning team. He expressed how much he relished the opportunity to be a part of the historic achievement.

“I enjoyed my process and being a part of the World Cup champion team and I learnt a lot. I was really excited. Whenever I get a chance I try my best and make sure that I am contributing for the team and winning the games for my team,” he said.

India’s tour of Zimbabwe for five T20Is concludes on Sunday with the fifth and final game slated here at the Harare Sports Club.
