Jaiswal has taken his batting to next level: Rohit Sharma

Mumbai, May 1 (PTI) Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma has lavished praise on Yashasvi Jaiswal, saying he was surprised with the power the youngster packed in his strokes.

The 21-year-old scored his first IPL century, a blazing 124-run knock which helped the Royals score 212 for seven. He had 16 boundaries and eight sixes in his 62-ball innings.

“I watched him (Jaiswal) last year, this year he’s taken his game to a next level. I asked him ‘where did you get the power from’. He said he’s been going to the gym, that’s good for him, good for Indian cricket and RR as well,” Rohit said at the post-match presentation
