India and Bangladesh are set to collide in a two-match Test series, starting on September 19. The two tests provide a great chance for the Indian team to strengthen their position at the top of the WTC points table.

However, the Indian side shouldn't underestimate the Bangladesh team. They recently whitewashed Pakistan in the Test series and will be confident heading into India's backyard. India have several match-winners and Bangladesh need to be vary of them.

One of the danger man is Yashasvi Jaiswal, the youngster who has taken the cricketing world by storm. In his short career, Jaiswal has already racked up runs in tough situations and will be the key player in the upcoming series.

The talented southpaw doesn't have too many weaknesses, but there are ways in which Bangladesh can dismiss him cheaply. In ths last article, we talked about how Bangladesh can dismiss Rohit Sharma, and in this piece, we will decode the methods to knock over Jaiswal.

Jaiswal tends to struggle against moving ball

So far in his short Test career, Jaiswal has been excellent on pitches with less swing and seam on offer. However, he looked vulnerable, the last time India toured South Africa. The bouncy pitches there exposed Jaiswal's technique against moving ball.

The pitches in Chennai and Kanpur, where the two Tests are scheduled won't offer much of swing, but it surely would offer some seam movement and someone like Taskin Ahmed and Nahid Rana can exploit it.

Play with Jaiswal's ego

Jaiswal's trait has been his attacking game-play in Test cricket. This is how he tormented the English side, who looked clueless against him. However, the same thing could backfire against Jaiswal.

He has an attacking mindset and the Bangladesh skipper should play with his ego by placing fielders on the boundary line, thus challenging Jaiswal to clear the ropes. The youngster is known to take up challenges, and there is a possibility that he might mis-hit a couple of those shots.

Bowl away from his body

Jaiswal is extremely good on his legs, and thus bowling at a middle and leg stump line is a bad idea for the opposition bowlers. However, there is one mistake which Jaiswal often makes. His stride is too small when facing the fuller-length deliveries.

Thus the Bangladesh pace bowlers, particularly, Taskin Ahmed should bowl full and widish line, forcing Jaiswal to play away from the body. This would likely induce an outside-edge, which could go straight into the hands of the slip fielders, or the one placed at gully or point.
