Not Shubman Gill, AB De Villiers chose this player as the best batter.

Mr. 360 of cricket, AB De Villiers, recently named Yashasvi Jaiswal as the best batter he has seen so far in the IPL 2023. Yashasvi Jaiswal, while playing for Rajasthan Royals this season, hit his first IPL ton against Mumbai Indians. Not only that, the young left-handed opener of Rajasthan Royals hit the fastest IPL fifty in just 13 balls while chasing against Kolkata Knight Riders. Yashasvi Jaiswal, in the 14 matches he played in this IPL, scored 625 runs and is in the fourth spot as the highest run scorer this season. He scored runs at a strike rate of 163.31. Jaiswal handled the opening spot on the Rajasthan Royals’ team really well, as Jos Buttler flopped this year in scoring runs.

AB De Villiers, while speaking on Jiocinema, said that his favorite player in the IPL 2023 is Yashasvi Jaiswal, as the left-handed batter has a variety of shots in his arsenal, plus while playing he stays calm and composed, which is a plus point.

“Yashasvi Jaiswal for me and by a long margin for sure. He is a young player and has got all the shots in the book. He has a calm and composed temperament at the wicket and I love what he does, dominating the bowlers and always looks like he is in control,”

Rajasthan Royals’ this year didn’t perform well, though some of their players made their name like Yashasvi Jasiwal, Dhruv Jurel, etc., but star players failed to leave an impact this season. They started the IPL 2023 season with a bang and won four matches of their first six matches but failed to qualify for the playoffs as they only won three matches in the rest of their eight matches. Hearing your praise from such a big player is like a dream come true for a young Indian batter.
