Siddhesh Lad Says Yashasvi Jaiswal Is Developing Wicketkeeping Skills
Yashasvi Jaiswal is a cricketer who has been practising wicketkeeping.
Mumbai captain Siddhesh Lad said he had heard Jaiswal might want to keep wickets for Mumbai or India someday.

Jaiswal posted a video showing a Mumbai practice match, and he wore wicketkeeping gloves in part of it.
Jaiswal already plays Test cricket for India.

Learning wicketkeeping might give him another way to make a team.
