Yashasvi Jaiswal is only 22 years old and is performing like he has been playing cricket for the last 20 years. This is that talented batsman from India whose brilliance makes all the batsmen in the world pale in comparison. With the ease of which Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored the second double century of his Test career today, if there was no worry about the result of this Test match and if Jaiswal had gotten a chance to play for one more hour, he would have been the youngest person to score a triple century in Test cricket. Could also hit.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has made a record today by scoring his second consecutive double century (214 not out) in the third Test match against England. Before this, Jaiswal had also scored a double century in the first innings of the second test match against England. The specialty of this double century by Jaiswal is that in this inning, Yashasvi has hit 12 sixes, which is the most number of sixes hit by a batsman in a single innings of a Test match from India. Earlier, Navjot Singh Sidhu had hit 8 sixes in a single inning. Among these 12 sixes, Jaiswal also hit three consecutive sixes in the same over as England’s great and champion bowler, James Anderson.
Yesterday, Jaiswal retired hurt and went to the pavilion at the last minute of the game due to a back problem after scoring a century. Today, after Shubman Gill was run out on 91 runs, he came to bat again and played an inning that will be remembered for centuries. Today, every bowler in England was in fear of Jaiswal. Even England’s most experienced bowler, Anderson, looked helpless.
If James Anderson of England, who has been playing cricket for almost 22 years, was panting in front of 22-year-old Jaiswal and was hitting three consecutive sixes in the same over, then the talent of Yashasvi Jaiswal can be gauged from this. Now there is a need to give Jaiswal a chance in ODI matches also, and then we will see that only Jaiswal will score a triple century in ODIs.
