What does it take for a batter to score over 700 runs in a 5-match Test series? Maybe batting in the nets for so long that your teammates have to literally pull you out of the nets. That’s Yashasvi Jaiswal, as described by Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson. Samson, talking about Jaiswal, revealed that some of the support staffs of the RR has dislocated their shoulders due to providing throwdowns to Jaiswal for long hours.
Jaiswal has been grabbing headlines for all the right reasons for a few seasons now. He possesses the record of scoring the fastest half-century of IPL (off 13 balls). He has been the centre of attraction in the IND vs ENG series, scoring a whopping 712 runs in the series.
Sanju Samson was asked who spends the most time on the nets. “That has to be Jaiswal,” Sanju said.

“We have four Sardar ji’s in our practice camp. They are called Cut, Pull, Flick, and Drive. The guy called ‘Cut’ only throws balls cut during practice, the guy called Pull only bowls pull to practice. So same for the other guys. All four of them dislocated their shoulders because of Jaiswal last season. And RR has to go ensure the treatment. They were in the hospital and made a comeback. I think instead of players, the staff gets injured because of Jaiswal,” Samson said.
