‘Focus on your batting’: Wasim Jaffer questions Yashasvi Jaiswal’s wicketkeeping move

Former national team batter Wasim Jaffer has publicly questioned Yashasvi Jaiswal's unexpected choice to practice wicketkeeping ahead of the upcoming domestic schedule. Jaffer argued that mastering the discipline is too difficult without lifelong training and advised the twenty-four-year-old to concentrate fully on strengthening his primary skill rather than dividing his attention.

According to Mumbai captain Siddhesh Lad, the left-handed opening batsman had recently been spotted wearing the gloves during team preparations as a potential alternative role. Jaiswal is anticipated to participate in his squad's opening Ranji Trophy fixture against Chandigarh at the Wankhede Stadium.
