In the ongoing IND vs ENG Test series, Yashasvi Jaiswal, the young opener for the India Cricket Team, continues to dazzle with his stellar performances. Emerging as the highest run-scorer in the series, Jaiswal showcased his exceptional form by securing his second fifty-plus score during the Ranchi Test.
After notching up two double tons previously, Jaiswal took charge following Rohit Sharma's dismissal and displayed grit and determination to achieve his half-century. Partnering with Shubman Gill, he formed a robust partnership as India sought to diminish England's substantial first innings total. Capitalizing on the batting-friendly pitch, Jaiswal punished loose deliveries and adeptly rotated the strike, maintaining a brisk run rate.
In the Ranchi Test, Jaiswal reached his fifty in just 89 balls, unleashing five fours and a powerful six. However, luck was on his side as he survived a close call when on 40. A delivery from Ollie Robinson saw Jaiswal nicking the ball, seemingly heading towards Ben Foakes' gloves. Celebrations ensued, but a third-umpire referral revealed that the ball had dropped just before reaching Foakes, granting Jaiswal a second chance.
As he stands at 52* in the ongoing innings, Jaiswal aims to convert his fifty into yet another century, setting the tone for India in the Test match.
