I knew there was something special about him - AB de Villiers heaps plaudits on Yashasvi Jaiswal

India had a remarkable outing against West Indies in the opening Test as Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed centuries to allow India to inflict an emphatic shellacking upon the Islanders by an innings and 141 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin shone with the ball, clinching 12 wickets in the match as West Indies were completely demolished in home conditions. 

India will once again be going head-on against the hosts in the second Test of the series and Jaiswal will be hopeful of another stunning show as the Men in Blue eye a clean sweep of the Caribbean forces.

RCB Hall of Famer, AB de Villiers, had a very special message for the rising Jaiswal on the eve of India's second Test against West Indies. The batting virtuoso of South Africa had unreserved praises for the youngster and also claimed that if nurtured properly, he could be flying high.

Talking on his Youtube channel, ABD said, "The player who stood out for me was Yashasvi Jaiswal. Right at the top of the order, in his first Test, it does not happen every day that a youngster plays his first Test and scores a century. The first time I saw him play in the IPL, I knew there was something special about him. You could look at him and feel how much time he has to face the ball."

He further added, "He has a lot of time. He is a nice, tall left-hander, the pace is not going to bother him. He has got time to make decisions and play, both against pace and spin. He is a very talented youngster, a very hot prospect for the future for Team India and I am happy to see him score that century in that match."

As India square off with West Indies, Rohit and company would be desperate to secure another sound victory that would allow the team to go into the upcoming white-ball series with utmost confidence and get themselves a nice platform to come roaring into the ICC Cricket World Cup.
