Chappell wrote, “This young opening batsman is fearless, and can carry forward the legacy of excellent batting like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli.”

He also talked about the difference in the strategy of Indian and Australian cricket boards. He wrote, “It is very challenging to make a place in the Test team in India because the number of players playing cricket here is very high. Jaiswal's journey shows how India's strategy and infrastructure have led to its dominance in world cricket. To fulfill his dream of playing for India, he had to come to Mumbai at the age of ten in search of the best competitions.”

Chappell compared Jaiswal to Australia's Nathan McSweeney, who is 25 years old. While Jaiswal has played 14 Tests, 30 first-class matches and 53 IPL matches, McSweeney has played limited domestic cricket except for one Test.

Chappell also praised Rahul Dravid

Chappell also praised the leadership of Rahul Dravid, under whose guidance young players got the opportunity to learn the nuances of cricket. He mentioned when 16 year old Sarfaraz Khan had said that one can go to school later, but one does not get the opportunity to play cricket again and again.
