Former Indian cricket captain Sunil Gavaskar reveals his intervention with Yashasvi Jaiswal during India's South Africa tour spurred the young batsman to his record-breaking performance of over 700 runs in a Test series against England. Gavaskar, known for stressing the importance of converting starts, reprimanded Jaiswal for throwing away his wicket in a previous Test. Jaiswal's response, with two double centuries, made him the second Indian to achieve 700 runs in a series after Gavaskar himself. Despite Jaiswal's youth, Gavaskar acknowledges his potential while reflecting on his own rebellious 20s.
