‘I said he was a…’: England cricketer recalls Jaiswal controversy

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s extraordinary 712-run performance in the February Test series against England made him only the second Indian after Sunil Gavaskar to achieve such a feat. His aggressive batting drew praise but sparked debate when Ben Duckett suggested Jaiswal’s style was influenced by England’s “Bazball” approach. Duckett later clarified his comments were intended as a compliment to Jaiswal’s skill, not a claim of influence. Jaiswal’s success highlighted his own talent and adaptability rather than solely England’s style.
