Melbourne – Yashasvi Jaiswal is shining as a new superstar in Indian cricket! Darren Lehmann, a former Australian coach and two-time World Cup winner, believes that Indian cricket will be just fine even after stars like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retire. Lehmann, who played cricket for Australia, expressed his thoughts during an interview.
As India trails 1-2 in the current series, Kohli and Rohit’s future has come up for discussion. Lehmann praised them for their long contributions to Indian cricket and mentioned that new young players are already stepping up. “There is so much talent in Indian cricket that I wouldn’t worry too much,” he said.
Lehmann is particularly impressed with Jaiswal, who has scored 161, 82, and 84 runs in this series. “He’s a superstar and one of the best I have seen!” said Lehmann. He also compared Jaiswal to another exciting young player, Harry Brook.
Lehmann’s biggest praises were for Jasprit Bumrah, whom he believes is as good as legendary bowlers like Wasim Akram and Glenn McGrath. “I think Bumrah could be the next captain after Rohit,” he noted. “He’s the best bowler I’ve seen live. His impact in a single series is unmatched since Mitchell Johnson did it in 2013-14.”
Lehmann also shared his thoughts on Australia’s future cricket stars, saying he’s less worried about bowlers and more about the batting lineup. With players like Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc getting older, changes will happen, but he believes fast bowling will stay strong.
When asked if he would coach the Indian national team, Lehmann politely declined, saying, “It would be an honor, but I am done with international cricket. I just want the young guys to get better.”
