Yashasvi Jaiswal on Sachin Tendulkar's advice
Following his game-winning double hundred for India against England in the second Test at Vizag, Yashasvi Jaiswal disclosed that he had a conversation with Sachin Tendulkar.
Jaiswal batted for 209 runs off 290 deliveries across the whole of Day 1 and into Day 2. He became the third-youngest Indian to achieve a double century in a Test match after accomplishing this accomplishment.
India finished their first innings with 396 all out, thanks in large part to Jaiswal's 209, which laid the groundwork for their dominant position in the game. Jasprit Bumrah's outstanding bowling, which included six wickets taken to give the hosts a significant lead, enhanced his performance.
Fans and commentators praised Jaiswal's knock in the first innings even if he wasn't successful in the second. Tendulkar was one of them, complimenting the little hitter on his hit.
After India won the second Test, Jaiswal was questioned about the legend of India's tweet on JioCinema. The youthful opener discloses their chat with Sachin Tendulkar, and the Indian icon gave him advice to keep up his hard work.

"I also chatted with Sachin Tendulkar. He gave me his congratulations and advised me to keep up my good job. He informed me that this is a crucial moment for me and that being consistent is crucial. I'm grateful for the wishes, sir. He's my idol, and I always adore him," Jaiswal remarked.
I reasoned that I ought to assume accountability and play as deeply as possible: Jaiswal at 209
Speaking about his performance, the Indian opener stated he thought the wicket was a decent one and that, with patience, he might have a big innings. Jaiswal stated that he made the decision to play deep after witnessing India lose wickets early in the first innings.
"I wanted to score the double hundred the last time, but I didn't after I had made 171 (against the West Indies). I always believe that the runs will come if I concentrate on my daily schedule. In my life, the process is crucial, regardless of the discipline I adhere to. What I eat, when I go to bed, and how well I practice. I believe that if everything is kept up to date, the performance should also remain strong. I feel secure when I go on the ground because I know how hard I've worked and I just need to go there and express myself.
I aim to play for the team at all times. They had informed me I could play as many shots as I wanted in the last match, but I played differently. I felt I might score a big innings here if I remained patient and this wicket was excellent. Jaiswal stated, "I felt I had to accept responsibility and play as deep as I could because we lost wickets early on.
