‘Don't beat our bowlers that bad’ - Lara's humble request to centurion Jaiswal
Brian Lara's humble request to centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal during IND vs WI 2nd Test; ‘Don't beat our bowlers that bad’
Legendary Brian Lara made a humble request to Yashasvi Jaiswal after the Indian opener smacked the West Indies bowlers all around the park at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi in the ongoing second Test. The 23-year-old was in full flow on the opening day of the Test, clobbering 22 fours for his 173 not out to set the tone for the home team.
Jaiswal missed on a well-deserved double ton after he was run out on Day 2, adding just two runs to his overnight total. In a video shared by BCCI, Jaiswal was getting ready for an interview when Lara, who is in National Capital these days, came out to meet the Indian youngster. The former West Indies captain congratulated the Jaiswal and made a special request.
“Don't beat our bowlers that bad,” Lara told Jaiswal. In reply, the Indian opener said, “No (laughs). I am just trying.”

Speaking on his own batting, Jaiswal stated that he always tried to play according to the situation and what the team demands at that point of time. “I always put the team first, how I can play for my team and what is important for my team at that moment in time," he said in the video.
“So I always think that, and that gives me the answer to how I can play, what shots I can play, how the wicket is, and if I'm there, I make sure that I take it as long as I can. So that is all my mindset that if I have a start, I make sure that I should make it big, just like that,” added the opener.
Why Brian Lara is in India?
Lara, alongside another West Indies legend Sir Viv Richards is in the country as a part of the "Mission India" campaign aimed to help the cash-strapped Cricket West Indies get some extra funds. These funds will help revive the country's cricket board's dilapidated structure in Tests.Lara also made it a point to visit the West Indies dressing room after the end of second day's play. Besides having a quick chat with the players, Lara also met head coach Daren Sammy and captain Roston Chase for a 20-minute conversation.
“Brian Lara did visit the West Indies dressing room after the end of the day's play. He was around for close to 20 minutes. The discussion was more generic about the health of West Indies cricket and the way forward,” read a PTI report.
