Virender Sehwag feels it’s too early to compare the young India opener with the icons of the game
Jaiswal has been scoring heavily in recent times, forcing few former players and fans to compare him with the legends, including Sehwag
“He is a very good batsman but I think comparisons are too early,” Sehwag told PTI Bhasha in a virtual interaction from Dubai on Wednesday
On the franchise versus country debate, he said that national duty should always be above any league commitment
He did not feel the IPL would lead to burnout or fatigue before the T20 World Cup and instead said the league would be a great platform to prepare for the showpiece
Amid the mushrooming of T20 and even T10 leagues across the world, does he feel that the quality of cricket has been compromised? He responded in the negative
"These leagues play a vital role in enhancing the domestic cricketing ecosystem of each nation,” he said
“The proliferation of domestic leagues following the success of the Indian Premier League highlights a global trend toward nurturing cricketing talent at home," he added
