Yashasvi Jaiswal starred with the bat for India against England in the ongoing second Test in Vizag. The left-handed batter smashed 209 runs off 290 balls, in an innings laced with seven sixes and 19 boundaries.
The 22-year-old became the third-youngest Indian player to score a double century after Vinod Kambli and Sunil Gavaskar. He’s also the fourth Indian left-handed batter to achieve the landmark after Kambli, Sourav Ganguly and Gautam Gambhir.
Jaiswal kept scoring as wickets continued to tumble on the other end to ensure a decent first-innings total for the hosts. He was eventually dismissed by James Anderson, caught out by Jonny Bairstow, at extra cover boundary.
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) lauded Yashasvi Jaiswal for his maiden double Test ton against England. One user wrote:
"One man show."
