Cheteshwar Pujara weighed in on Yashasvi Jaiswal's Achilles' heel amid the ongoing second Test of the five-match series between the India National Cricket Team and the England National Cricket Team at Edgbaston in Birmingham.
Opening the innings with KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal batted with a positive intent from the very start, but his partner was a bit too cautious. Rahul got out for 26-ball 2, and India's opening partnership was just 15 runs off 52 balls.
Yashasvi Jaiswal completed his fifty off 59 balls, and after Nair's dismissal, built a solid 66-run stand in 131 balls with Shubman Gill.
You've got to bowl the right length; around off-stump, on a good length - Cheteshwar Pujara
Jaiswal was cleaned up by Ben Stokes on the first ball of the 46th over. Stokes bowled a short and wide ball to Jaiswal, which had hit-me written all over it.
Meanwhile, the veteran batsman Cheteshwar Pujara believes that Yashasvi Jaiswal's biggest weakness is a good length delivery outside off-stump, and the bowlers who remain patient will most of the time expose the 23-year-old's vulnerability.

Early on, it seemed like he was trying too hard to play shots - Cheteshwar Pujara
“Early on, it seemed like he was trying too hard to play shots, but once he settled, the kind of strokes he played were outstanding. Once he gets through that initial half-hour, he's in complete control. He doesn't miss scoring opportunities, and that makes it very difficult for a bowling team," Cheteshwar Pujara said.
"If you pitch it up, he drives well. If it's short outside off-stump, he cuts well. If you try bumpers, he pulls confidently. The margin of error for bowlers is incredibly small against him.”
