Summing up the Tokyo experience, Antonio wrote on Instagram in Portuguese, which read after translation to English: 'It was a tough weekend in terms of points. The performance is there. We have to be better and solidify our results again. The next race will be in China in 15 days. I'm already back to work on the simulator. Thanks guys, let's keep fighting!'

Michael Clarke Compares Yashasvi Jaiswal To Ex-India Opener, Says 'He's Going To...'
Last Updated: Since making his Test debut for India against the Windies in July 2023, Jaiswal has played 23 Tests and amassed a total of 2209 runs with the help of 6 centuries and 12 fifties. Former Australian captain and star middle-order batter Michael Clarke has praised young Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and said Team India have found their new 'Virender Sehwag" in him. Since making his Test debut for India against the West Indies in July 2023, Jaiswal has played all 24 matches for Team India and, with the help of six centuries and 12 half-centuries, amassed a total of 2209 runs. He scored 391 runs in the 2024-25 edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia and amassed a total of 411 runs in five matches of the recently concluded Test series in England. In addition to that, in his first-ever Test series for India in India last year, he scored 712 runs in nine innings of five matches against the English team. Speaking on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast, Clarke, who led the Australian men's cricket team to the ODI World Cup title win in 2015, said Jaiswal is a superstar, and a batter like him could become a successful opener if he continues playing the way he is now. 'The way he (Jaiswal) plays, with someone like him opening the batting, if all goes to plan and he has the career that we think he is going to have—and he is going to, because he is a superstar—it's going to be a lot like Sehwag," Clarke said. 'He is that risky top-order, aggressive batsman who sets the intent for your team style. You have got to accept that he is going to play some innings that you watch and go, 'Oh, what a superstar, what an amazing player,' like in the second innings (at Oval), but he is going to nick the occasional ball, get a low score and hit one to backward point or play a pull shot that will go straight up." Clarke, who finished his Test career with 8643 runs in 115 matches, said that Jaiswal will only get better with time and could become unstoppable. 'He will continue to get better, but the way he plays is like Sehwag. When Sehwag was on, he was unstoppable, but sometimes he got out playing the big cover drive and nicked it for a duck," he added. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
