Former Indian player Sunil Gavaskar opened up on Yashasvi Jaiswal's match-winning ton during the third and final ODI against South Africa in Vizag. With Jaiswal scoring his maiden ton to script a series victory for India, Gavaskar opined that the left-hander wanted to create some difficulty for the selection committee as Shubman Gill nears return.Due to Gill sustaining a neck spasm, the Uttar Pradesh-born cricketer was picked to open the innings in the series against South Africa. Although the southpaw failed in the first two ODIs, he responded with a brilliant 116* off 121 deliveries, as the Men in Blue chased down 271 with nine wickets and 61 balls in hand.Speaking on Star Sports, Gavaskar heaped praise on the youngster, claiming that he learnt from his previous mistakes of putting away shots that were getting him into trouble early in his innings. He said:"Look he hadn’t scored a lot of runs in the previous two games. So, he thought when Shubman Gill is fit, he will return to that spot. Hence, Yashasvi Jaiswal wanted to create some difficulty for the selectors. It is also for his confidence. He understood the need to put away some shots which were creating difficulties for him. There was also bounce on this surface and we saw from the outset when Marco Jansen bowled. Jaiswal showed patience by leaving balls outside off-stump and he played the hook shot well."Gavaskar continued:"In the previous match, he played the bouncer outside off-stump that went straight up. So, today he was coming inside the line and playing. He learned from the earlier mistakes. It is a very good indication of a player wanting to learn from his mistakes and score runs. He showed patience at the start by not hitting a lot of boundaries. After his half-century, Jaiswal started playing freely.”In the process, he also became the sixth Indian after Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, and Suresh Raina to score a ton in every format."I've been unable to convert starts" - Yashasvi JaiswalYashasvi Jaiswal.

He elaborated:"I really enjoyed, grateful and blessed. Rohit and I have chatted a lot on how we play and what tempo to go with. I've been unable to convert starts. I was only thinking of how to balance the innings. Sometimes I need to be more attacking and sometimes get singles and consolidate. I have to control my thoughts, where and what shots I can play. I need to go after bowlers, knowing when I need to do that helps."India will turn their attention to the T20I series against South Africa, beginning December 9 in Cuttack.
