Since making his debut in the Caribbean last year, Yashasvi Jaiswal has been playing Test cricket with great consistency. In the 85th over of India’s second innings in the third Test match between India and England in Rajkot on Sunday, February 18, the gifted young player smacked the illustrious James Anderson for three straight sixes.
After scoring his third century in a Test match on Day 3, Yashasvi Jaiswal had to be sidelined with a back spasm.
When he made the decision to leave the field to take care of his back problems, he was batting 104 in the second inning for India. Despite the fact that he appeared to be in good health, many were worried when he came out to bat during Shubman Gill’s wicket fall in the opening session on Day 4.
The highlight of Jaiswal’s innings came in the second session, when he took Anderson down with a hat-trick of sixes. He applied pressure to the English bowlers. The attack began with the southpaw bending to sweep a low full toss for a six-over-deep square leg. Jaiswal delivered a full and wide ball over deep extra cover with a burst of pace that brought about the second six. After being hammered for the third six of the over, Anderson appeared shaken and delivered a harmless-looking length delivery over his head.
! You have Bazball. We have Jaisball.
