Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma recently took to Instagram to celebrate the achievements of three young Indian cricketers, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan, and Dhruv Jurel, whose performances have become a talking point following the third Test against England. His Instagram story, which featured images of the trio, was captioned with the light-hearted remark, "Ye Aajkal ke bachhe," showcasing his appreciation for their contributions in a trendsetting manner.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been a revelation, marking his place in history by becoming only the second Indian, after Virat Kohli, to score double centuries in consecutive Tests. This remarkable feat underscores his potential and growing stature within international cricket.
Debutants Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel also made significant impacts in their first foray into Test cricket. Sarfaraz exhibited resilience and skill, hitting fifties in both innings, and playing a pivotal role in bolstering India's position throughout the match. Similarly, Dhruv Jurel's debut was noteworthy not only for his commendable 46 in the first innings but also for his exemplary performance behind the stumps, successfully navigating the challenges posed by England's batting lineup.
The youthful Indian squad faced skepticism regarding its relative inexperience ahead of the Test, yet the young talents rose to the occasion, dispelling doubts with their outstanding performances. Their efforts were instrumental in securing India's largest victory margin by runs in Test cricket history, as England was dismissed for a mere 122 runs in their second innings.
