India needed a boost from Jaiswal’s innings right before the Asia Cup starts in Sri Lanka next week to build momentum. In his knock, the youngster demonstrated all of his talent, displaying power and timing with some impressive shots. He won the short ball with ease over the boundary lines, which was particularly impressive. Jaiswal additionally showed great levelheadedness in the center, turning the ball around and building organizations with his partners.
Jaiswal has been in excellent form in domestic cricket in recent months, and he showed on Wednesday that he is ready to make an impact at the international level. The win over West Indies will give India a lot of confidence ahead of the Asia Cup. They have a strong squad, and they will be looking to build on their momentum in the tournament.

They will be hoping that Jaiswal can continue his good form, and that he can help them to lift the trophy in Sri Lanka.
