“We need to see him in a few more Test matches,” former chief selector MSK Prasad told Kolkata-based newspaper The Telegraph.

“Jaiswal definitely has the ingredients to be the next superstar. He’s proving to be an all-format player,” he added.

“The opportunities came knocking at their door just ahead of the transition period for Indian cricket, and it was really good to see these players grabbing the chances with both hands.”

‘Instant hit’

India have introduced a string of new players in the series including Rajat Patidar, 30, who made his debut in the second Test.

Dhruv Jurel, the 23-year-old wicketkeeper who won his first Test cap in Rajkot alongside Sarfaraz, was dubbed “an instant hit on debut” by the Indian Express newspaper.

“Yashasvi Jaiswal is a special talent, that he can play defensively 50 balls, so (has) good technique against the new ball, and unleash and get into T20 mode immediately,” former batsman Sanjay Manjrekar told website Cricinfo.
