Revealed! Rohit Sharma's Message To Yashasvi Jaiswal During Oval 100: 'He Said...'
Last Updated: Yashasvi Jaiswal has shared Rohit Sharma's message to him during the Oval Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Yashasvi Jaiswal has revealed receiving a brief but crucial message from former captain Rohit Sharma, who was present in the stands, when he was on the way to his century during the Oval Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy on Saturday. Jaiswal said he saw Rohit during the knock (likely during the Lunch break) and said hi to him before the fellow Mumbaikar asked him to 'keep batting' and hang in there. On the first truly difficult pitch to bat on in the series, Jaiswal emerged as India's top scorer, smashing 118 runs off 164 balls with 14 boundaries and two sixes. It allowed India to post 396 runs in the third innings, setting England a challenging target of 374 runs. Mohammed Siraj's wicket of Zak Crawley in the final over of the day meant England went to Stumps at 50/1, keeping India ahead in the contest. 'The wicket was a little spicy. I was enjoying batting. I was enjoying it a lot. I expect that in England, when you play, you play on a wicket like this. Mentally, I was ready and I was just enjoying. I knew what shots I was going to play on this surface," Jaiswal said at the post-day press conference. 'I saw Rohit bhai and said hi to him. He just told me that I should keep batting," he added. Rohit sat in the hospitality area of the ground and watched the entire day, making brief camera appearances. Jaiswal also credited Rohit and other seniors for improving his game. 'Different challenges of playing Tests in different countries, but learnt a lot from my seniors like Rohit bhai, Virat bhai. Now KL bhai, Gill. It's amazing to discuss with them, and learn from their experiences," he said. Apart from showing excellent technique and mentality to overcome England's various plans against him, Jaiswal was also open to chatting up the opponent throughout. In the previous games, it seemed to get the better of him, but in this Test, it seemed different. 'It's all about how I fight. Always, the mentality is to go out there and fight it out and enjoy. Because in the end, (and) as I tell myself that it's the game and we need to enjoy the game. That is very important. With that, we should have fun. I am proud of myself and all my teammates. We want fun. We want a battle in the middle. That is the fun. That's why you play Test cricket," he added. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Indian Long Jump Athlete Murali Sreeshankar Claims Top Spot At Qosaov Memorial
Last Updated: The 26-year-old's effort of 7.94m on the day helped him register his third competition triumph since returning from an injury. Star Indian long jumper Murali Sreeshankar produced an incredible showing at the Qosaov Memorial on Sunday in Kazakhstan to bag the top honours. The 26-year-old's effort of 7.94m on the day helped him register his third competition triumph since returning from an injury. The athlete from Palakkad, who boasts a personal best of 8.41m came up with efforts of 7.73m, 7.58m, 7.57m, 7.80m, and 7.79m. This was Sreeshankar's third competition since returning from a knee injury sustained in April last year. After undergoing surgery, he missed the 2024 Olympics despite qualifying for the global event in the French capital. Sreeshankar won the Indian Open in Pune with a jump of 8.05m in his first comeback competition and followed it up with a 7.75m effort to claim the top spot at the Meeting Maia Cidade do Desporto in Portugal. Prior to his injury, Sreeshankar's last international appearance resulted in a silver medal at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, in 2023. He is yet to qualify for the Tokyo World Championships in September, where the men's long jump qualification standard is 8.27m. view comments First Published: August 03, 2025, 07:54 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Sachin Tendulkar erupts at Akash Deep's stunning knock, points out Yashasvi Jaiswal's 'courage' after century at Oval
From one Mumbai batter who has been a shining star of India's past to another Mumbai batter who might be India's future, Yashasvi Jaiswal received some golden compliments from none other than Sachin Tendulkar after the young batter's century provided the backbone for a very strong third innings effort at the Oval. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Akash Deep during their 107-run partnership.(PTI) Following Jaiswal scoring 118 in the third innings, to bookend his tour performance with centuries in his first and last innings, then man after whom the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy is named took to social media to shower praise on the 23 year old southpaw. Writing on his X account, Tendulkar wrote: 'Outstanding 100 by Yashasvi on a sporting pitch that tested courage and concentration.' Jaiswal's was the first century of this entire Test that had been dominated by bowlers to that point, with the youngster scoring 51* before stumps on day 2 and then going on to convert his start into a big one with some excellent batting. Akash Deep earns plaudits for first half-century Jaiswal was given plenty of support from Akash Deep, who came in as a nightwatchman but then astounded with some remarkably solid batting when it came to the morning of the third day. Akash's 66, his highest Test score by a distance, came batting at number four, and his efforts in crafting a century partnership with Jaiswal didn't go unnoticed by the player who made that number four slot so iconic. 'Full marks to Akashdeep too, batting with heart and determination under pressure,' wrote Tendulkar. 'Keep fighting, India.' A pair of fiery half-centuries by Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, as well as a useful 34 from Dhruv Jurel, ensured India were able to set a target of 374, which made them favourites despite England's history of successfully chasing down targets in that range — including in the first match of this series. While Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley frustrated India through the late evening session and brought up a 50 opening partnership, Mohammed Siraj struck in the very last over of the day, bowling a searing yorker that trapped Crawley and gave India a crucial wicket. England still need 324 runs, whereas India likely need just 8 wickets to win following Chris Woakes' shoulder injury. With the backing of Tendulkar, can Shubman Gill's men pull it off?
