Yashasvi Jaiswal revealed the significant role Rohit Sharma played in his Test debut preparation. Sharma informed Jaiswal of his selection fifteen days in advance, fostering confidence and enabling joint preparation. Sharma encouraged Jaiswal to play freely but to convert good starts into big innings, a strategy Jaiswal implemented with a century on debut. Sharma's captaincy and opening partnership were crucial for Jaiswal's early development in international cricket.
