Want to make sure, I'm ready for tomorrow: Jaiswal

LAUDERHILL (USA), Aug 13: Hogging the limelight with his phenomenal run in Tests and now in T20I cricket, talented Indian youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal says this is just the start and he needs to makes sure he's "ready for tomorrow".
Fresh from his exploits in IPL 2023, the 21-year-old left-hander made a smooth transition to Test cricket with a century on India debut and then followed it up with a half-century.
Jaiswal then grabbed his opportunity in T20I cricket with an unbeaten 84 off 51 balls, his first fifty in second appearance in the shortest format.
"It's just the start," Jaiswal told reporters after India's nine-wicket hammering of the West Indies here on Saturday. It kept the series alive at 2-2 to take it to the decider slated later on Sunday.
"I want to keep doing and building on it. I'm happy today but I want to make sure that I'm ready for tomorrow also.
"It (half-century) was really special, representing India is always a proud moment. Of course, there is a lot of thought and hard work behind it. I'm so blessed and grateful that I was able to express myself today and it went off well." After back-to-back losses in the five-match T20I series, India dropped Ishan Kishan at the top, handing debut to Jaiswal to go alongside Shubman Gill.
But the new opening pair failed in its first match (third of the series), managing just six runs together, even as India won by seven wickets to keep the series alive.
Chasing 179 on Saturday, Jaiswal and Gill were in cruise mode and equalled India's record-highest T20I opening partnership of 165, which was in the name of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul.
The obvious question was whether it's the start of a new era? "What they (Rohit and Rahul) have done is amazing. They are legends of the game. I just think that we just need to go and try doing what we can do. We have a long way to go," was Jaiswal's humble response.
He said he's making the most of the opportunity of sharing the Indian dressing room with seniors like coach Rahul Dravid, captain Rohit, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav.
"We've an amazing bunch of seniors like Rohit bhaiya, Virat bhaiya, Hardik bhaiya, Surya bhaiya and Rahul sir. The way they talk, I make sure to listen to their experiences and how they carried themselves.
