‘Ice Cool’ Yashasvi Jaiswal defeats Shoaib Bashir to complete his first double hundred with six and four. In the second Test match of the series against England in Vizag on Saturday, February 3, young Yashasvi Jaiswal produced an incredible double hundred while batting.
With two thrilling strokes, Jaiswal, who was unbeaten at 179 at the close of the first day, achieved his first double hundred.
To add to his achievement, the “ice cool” 22-year-old crushed Shoaib Bashir for a six and a four behind the square leg. Jaiswal had reached his 50, 100, and 150 runs earlier in the innings, all of which included sixes and boundaries.
In Test cricket, the player became the third-youngest hitter from India to get a double century. When he achieved his individual achievements, the 22-year-old was the youngest of Vinod Kambli and Sunil Gavaskar.
In addition, Jaiswal became the first left-handed opener from India to hit two hundred and fifty against England.
In just his sixth Test match, Jaiswal has already made a huge impression at the top. When India visited the West Indies in 2023, the batter made his debut.
In his debut Test match, Jaiswal amassed 171 runs, firmly establishing his dominance over players like Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad, who have been vying for a top-order slot with the Indian squad.
India achieved a respectable first innings total of 396 runs thanks in large part to Jaiswal’s effort. Not a single player from India scored a half century during the innings, aside from Jaiswal.
With 34 runs off of 46 balls, Shubman Gill was the second-highest scorer for the team. In their eleventh Test innings, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer were unsuccessful once more and are still without a fifty. Shubman lost to James Anderson on Day 1 despite appearing promising with 34 runs.
England took three wickets apiece from James Anderson, Shoaib Bashir, and Rehan Ahmed in the first innings of the game.
