influence of the former India Test captain on his career<\/a>. Speaking to Mashable India, the opener said that Rohit has been a mentor for him during his career and has helped develop mentally and in terms of his playing style. Jaiswal said that Rohit is an amazing human being and you learn a lot just by being around the 38-year-old.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\u201cI really enjoy being with Rohit bhai. He has taught me so much and helped me a lot in developing myself, both mentally and overall. He is truly an amazing human being. When you are around him or talk to him, you learn a lot \u2014 in fact, just by watching him, you can learn so much,” said Jaiswal.<\/p>\n
When it came to Kohli, Jaiswal revealed the star batter’s funny side and how he is able to keep everyone laughing. The young opener said that Kohli is sharp when it comes to observing someone to make a joke and claimed that he would make you laugh with his witty remarks.<\/p>\n
“Paaji is amazing, really strong. I\u2019ve batted with him many times. He\u2019s so much fun, and he\u2019s really funny too. If you spend time with him, you\u2019ll just keep laughing, it\u2019s a different level altogether. If he tells you something about someone, he\u2019ll explain it in full detail \u2014 it\u2019s incredible. He\u2019s so sharp. Like, if you ask me to explain something in a funny way, I might try but it won\u2019t come out funny. But if he says it, then 100 percent you\u2019ll end up laughing for sure,” said Jaiswal.<\/p>\n
The southpaw had partnerships in 10 innings alongside Kohli and the duo put on 361 runs during that time. Jaiswal was a part of Rohit and Kohli’s final Test assignment before they decided to retire from the format in May 2025.<\/p>\n
