Shastri confident about 'world class' Yashasvi Jaiswal

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri is confident that the "already world class" Yashasvi Jaiswal will return from the Australian tour a significantly improved batter, no matter the challenges he encounters along the way.

Shastri said if Jaiswal can adapt to the challenging Perth pitch, known for its lively bounce, the young opener will play with freedom later on in the series.

"I think he'll be a better player when he leaves Australian shores. Already he's world class," Shastri said at a Fox Cricket event.

"You saw what he did against England (and) just the freedom with which he plays.

"I think once he adapts to these conditions - it's not going to be easy to adjust in Perth with that bounce, no matter how talented you are.

You have got to be prepared to do the hard yards.
