One of the new-age batters for India is Yashasvi Jaiswal. The young left-handed batter has given testament to his dynamic and aggressive batting style in his yet short career. He showed his talent during his U-19 days and later translated it into domestic cricket and IPL to break his way into the international arena. 

What we have seen of Jaiswal, the young batter, has been fearless, aggressive and gutsy. With his ability to be equally effective in all three formats of the game, critics and experts believe that he is a great in the making. In this article, we will take a look at the three best shots or the three most productive shots of Yashasvi Jaiswal. 

3. Cut Shot

Jaiswal has proven himself to be one of those Indian batters who is unafraid of short-pitch bowling. He has an excellent player square of the wicket and has never shied away from playing horizontal bat shots. Jaiswal enjoys pace on the ball, and whenever he is dished something wide outside the off-stump at a shorter length, he gets back quickly to play the cut shot to full effectiveness. 

While Jaiswal enjoys cutting the pacers, he also plays the shot adeptly against the spinners. Rocking back on the back foot, making use of the crease and piercing the point region with his cuts is something Jaiswal enjoys against the spinners too. 

2. Inside-out shot

The inside-out shot is something the left-handers enjoy playing. Gautam Gambhir, the current head coach of India, was a master of this shot against the spinners. Another left-handed Indian batter that might come to one’s mind hearing of this shot is Suresh Raina. The latter used to play this shot against both spinners and pacers. 

While walking on the lines of some of the most incredible left-handed batters in the game's history, Yashasvi Jaiswal has also mastered this shot brilliantly. The best part is that while Jasiwal executes the shot with near perfection against the spinners, he plays it with equal dexterity against the faster bowlers. The young batter running down the track and lofting the ball over the infield through the cover-extra-cover region is a delight to watch. 

1.Sweep Shot

The most productive shot in Yashasvi Jaiswal’s repertoire is the conventional sweep. We have seen that he is not afraid to bring out the sweep against the spinners, even in the early stages of his innings. He is so confident about executing his sweep shot that he has sometimes played this difficult-to-execute shot against the pacers, too. 

Sweep is considered one of the most productive yet tricky shots to play in cricket. A slight misjudgement in the line or length may lead to your doom while playing it. Jaiswal, too, has sometimes fallen prey to misjudging a delivery for a sweep. However, that has not dented his confidence, and he has mastered it to the extent that he looks like one of the best artists in this art in the modern game.
