I can learn a lot from Virat Kohli, said Yashasvi Jaiswal, who feels “honoured” to bat with him in the IND vs AFG match.
In the second Twenty20 International between India and Afghanistan on Sunday, January 15, at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore, Yashasvi Jaiswal expressed his “honor” to bat alongside Virat Kohli.
After a 14-month hiatus, Kohli resumed playing Twenty20 Internationals for India, taking the field against England at the Adelaide Oval in the T20 World Cup 2022 semifinal.
With five fours and 29 runs off 16 balls, Kohli was removed by Naveen-ul-Haq.
“It was nice going there and enjoying the game, especially when I batted with Virat bhaiya. At the press conference following the game, Jaiswal was cited as saying, “It is an honour to bat with him and I can learn a lot of things.”
After India lost the early wicket of Rohit Sharma while chasing 173, Kohli came to bat. After that, he and Yashasvi Jaiswal combined for a partnership of 57 runs for the second wicket, which allowed their team to get back into the game.
Left-handed batsman Jaiswal discussed how he continued to communicate with Kohli in the middle.
We had a brief conversation about where we could hit while we were hitting. After that, we determined that hitting long on and mid-off was simple, so we gave it a shot. We wanted to make nice shots, and the intention was good,” he said.

Given the impending dew factor, Jaiswal believed that India made the correct decision in choosing to field first.
Given that there was dew in the second half, it was a wise move to bat second. I liked the atmosphere we had in Indore,” Jaiswal continued.
On January 17, India will attempt a clean sweep at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore after winning the second match by six wickets.
