Rahane hailed Jaiswal during the conversation and said: “I am so happy for Jaiswal, he has worked so hard, scored runs for Mumbai, Duleep Trophy & whenever he got the opportunity – it’s exciting times for India & him”.
Jaiswal is likely to make his international debut against West Indies in the first Test in Dominica on July 12 after the head coach Rahul Dravid and senior players like Virat Kohli were seen spending long time with the left-hander at the nets.
On the back of a strong domestic performance and a brilliant show in the Indian Premier League, Jaiswal made the Indian team for the first time after veteran Cheteshwar Pujara was dropped for the West Indies series.
While he opened the innings for Rajasthan Royals in IPL, the Mumbai lad is a regular No.3 batter when it comes to domestic circuit. Notably, in his last domestic encounter, Jaiswal hit a double ton for Rest of India against Madhya Pradesh in the Irani Cup.
