A Twitter user said that Jaiswal is frustrated for not getting his ODI and T20I cap. At this time, players like Dravid, Tendulkar, and Kohli should talk to him to calm him down.
Like Coach Like Players
Jaise coach vese khiladi

Gautam Gambhir is also known for his aggressive behaviour on the field. So the coach surely had an impact on the players of the Indian cricket team.
Great Idea
Ye Sri Lanka waale zyada bole toh ICC se paisa band karwa do.

Apan he aadmi baitha hai udhar.
A Twitter user suggested that if Sri Lankan players speak a lot, we can stop their funding from the ICC. An Indian (Jay Shah) is sitting at a good position in the ICC now.
