Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Test career has started with a bang, as he continues to impress with his ability to convert centuries into substantial scores. His latest feat, a second double century, underscores his determination and skill at the crease. In the third Test against England, Jaiswal’s innings of 200 off 231 balls, adorned with 14 fours and 10 sixes, showcased his aggressive yet calculated approach to batting. His knack for turning good starts into big scores has already made him a formidable force in the Indian batting lineup.
The third Test also saw Shubman Gill shine with the bat, falling just short of a hundred. His contribution, along with Jaiswal’s double century, helped India reach 314-4 at lunch on day four, extending their lead over England to 440 runs. Despite facing a spirited England bowling attack, India’s batsmen displayed resilience and skill, setting a daunting target for the visitors to chase in the fourth innings.
India’s dominance in the series so far has been reflected in their overall performance. With centuries from Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja in the first innings and an impressive bowling display, including Mohammed Siraj’s 4-84, India has put themselves in a strong position. As the series stands level at 1-1, India will look to capitalize on their momentum and secure a series victory with another strong performance in the remaining matches.
