Yashasvi Jaiswal received a ton of praise from Abhishek Nayar for his brilliant fifty against Australia in the second Twenty20 International on November 26. Jaiswal made cricket history at Thiruvananthapuram’s Greenfield International Stadium with a brilliant performance that included a half-century within the powerplay. With his quick innings, the young Indian batsman made a memorable record.
Jaiswal achieved this feat, becoming only the third Indian in T20I history after Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. Abhishek Nayar praised his brilliance, pointing out that he was shrewd in navigating a difficult early stage and gaining momentum upon the introduction of Maxwell. The veteran cricket player commended the India opener for his two-dimensional strategy, shifting pace intelligently, and using it to perfection during his outstanding knock in the second Twenty20 International.
Because he thought the first two overs weren’t good for batting, today was a brilliant knock. He kind of stepped on the gas as Maxwell entered the bowling alley. Today, there was a two-dimensional Yashasvi Jaiswal who skillfully set and employed tempo. He was playing square of the wicket, moving towards third man, and when needed, getting the ball through mid-wicket to the on side.
Overall, Jaiswal played a very calm yet aggressive innings, Abhishek Nayar told JioCinema.
Jaiswal uses powerplay to advance India’s offensive
With a flurry of boundaries in his blazing opening overs, the 21-year-old reached 53 runs from just 25 deliveries. With nine fours and two sixes, his performance sparkled, demonstrating his aggressive batting style and ability to bully the bowlers. He hit three consecutive boundaries and two massive sixes in an over to score an astounding 24 runs against Australia’s Sean Abbott, in a moment of pure brilliance.
The Uttar Pradesh batsman was undaunted by the slow bounce of the pitch and took advantage of some careless bowling from Australia that gave him plenty of width to launch his shots. His quick fifty, which came off the bat in just 24 balls, was crucial to India’s impressive powerplay total of 77 runs, their highest against Australia in Twenty20 Internationals. India took a 2-0 lead in the series with a decisive 44-run win.
