Renowned Indian spin legend, Anil Kumble, expressed confidence in young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's potential to succeed during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. Speaking on JioCinema, Kumble highlighted Jaiswal's adaptability, a trait that could prove invaluable in tackling Australia's challenging pitches.

Kumble commended Jaiswal's performance in the current ICC World Test Championship cycle, noting his ability to adjust strategies against varying conditions and bowlers.
