Jaiswal Recalls Rohit Sharma’s Fielding Advice Ahead of Sri Lanka Tests

The Story in Brief

Yashasvi Jaiswal shared photographs from a close-in fielding session on Instagram as India prepared for a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka. He used a humorous caption recalling advice from Rohit Sharma: “Jab tak khelega nahi, tab tak uthneka nahi.”

Rohit had shouted the instruction during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, when Jaiswal rose before Steve Smith played a delivery against Ravindra Jadeja at Melbourne. The stump-mic exchange became widely discussed. Jaiswal and Rohit are both from Mumbai, and Jaiswal made his Test debut under Rohit’s captaincy. Jaiswal is expected to open with KL Rahul in the first Test at Galle.

The Indian Opinion

The post appears to be a light-hearted reminder of a memorable cricket moment rather than a major team update. Rohit’s direct instruction reflected the demands of close-in fielding, while Jaiswal’s response suggests the exchange remains friendly. Social media reactions can sometimes exaggerate ordinary sporting interactions, so the wider impact of the advice on Jaiswal’s career cannot be measured from this post alone.
