India's talented batter Yashasvi Jaiswal shared veteran batter Virat Kohli's advice to him when he made his debut for the national team. Jaiswal revealed Kohli's advice to him as he is touring Australia for the first time. Jaiswal also expressed his admiration for Virat Kohli and said that the veteran also advised him to be disciplined and follow the process. However, Team India are all set to play against Australia for the five-match Test series of the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
"I feel like I will be better day by day" - Yashasvi Jaiswal
"When I started playing like senior cricket, I did speak to Virat Paji that how he managed himself. Paji has said to me that if I want to play all that cricket, then I have to be disciplined in my daily routines and follow the process. So I have seen him doing the stuff consistently day by day. Actually, seeing him, it motivates me a lot to put in the work and do something and make a difference in my habits, which is really important for me. I feel like I will be better day by day," Jaiswal said in a video posted by BCCI.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been often spotted training along with the legendary batter Virat Kohli in the nets as he aims to follow in the footsteps of Kohli. Before the ongoing Test, he has scored 1,407 runs at an average of 56.28, with a strike rate of 70.13. He has three tons and eight fifties to his name, with the best score of 214* as well.

While he was excited about his very first Test tour to Australia, he failed to do well in the first innings. He could face 8 balls only before Mitchell Starc sent him in. On the other hand, Virat Kohli too failed to step up and his poor form continued. He could manage 5 runs off 12 balls before Hazlewood dismissed him as well.
"It is my first trip to Australia. I am very excited to play here" - Yashasvi Jaiswal
"It is my first trip to Australia. I am very excited to play here. I want to play well and do well. It is different here. The ball is different, the wicket is different. But I think we know that. I think we are ready mentally. I really want to be in. I want to go in. I want to see it. I want to be there. Because people, a lot of time they talk about stuff. This happened, that happened. But I want to go and face it and I want to enjoy that moment with a smile. That is all I think about. Because until you are not there, you actually do not really feel what it is. I always see it this way. And it is always an opportunity for me to go out there and learn," he added.
"And I try my best to sleep well and eat well before the practice, I focus on recovery. And I try to be fresh for practice sessions," he again shared. "I am really blessed to have these opportunities, and I am ready for it mentally, physically. I want to play fearless and I want to enjoy," he concluded.
