A sheer sensation in the Indian cricket team, Yashasvi Jaiswal, has caught the attention of many experts and critics in the sport. Former Australian captain Michael Clarke is one of them, recently comparing the young opener to an ex-Indian cricketer.

Despite making his debut in July 2023, Jaiswal has become a regular member of the Indian Test team. With 6 centuries and 12 fifties in just 23 matches, the youngster has amassed a total of 2209 runs. After watching him score a brilliant triple century in the first innings of the Kolkata Test against the Kiwis, Michael Clarke made the comparison.

"He's going to be a superstar in the white-ball formats, but I think he's gonna be a long-term player for India in Test cricket as well. I know there was a lot of talk about his technique and this and that, but technically, he's not that bad. I mean if you can score a triple century, you can play the cover drive and the straight drive, so, he will be a huge asset for India across formats", said Clarke.

The Kiwi series proved to be a breakthrough for Jaiswal, scoring his maiden hundred and doubling it in the very next match. With the emergence of Jaiswal, the Indian top order looks quite formidable, posing a tough challenge for any opposition. The youngster's skills and talent will undoubtedly be a significant asset for India across all formats in the future.

The conclusion should feel natural and complete avoid forced, generic, or repetitive endings.
