Fans applaud Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 209-run knock in IND vs ENG 2nd Test

The ongoing second Test in Vizag saw a remarkable performance from Yashasvi Jaiswal for India against England. This lefty hitter put forth a stunning show of 209 runs using just 290 balls. His stellar play consisted of seven sixes and 19 boundaries.

A 22-year-old makes history, only two others younger, Vinod Kambli and Sunil Gavaskar, have scored double centuries from India. This same player now joins a short list, including Kambli, Sourav Ganguly, and Gautam Gambhir, of left-handed Indian batters reaching this milestone.

Jaiswal maintained scoring as wickets fell on the other end, ensuring a respectable first-innings total for the hosts. He was finally removed by James Anderson after being caught by Jonny Bairstow at the extra cover boundary.

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s maiden double Test ton against England drew praise from X (previously Twitter) users. A user wrote:

Without Jaiswal. Innings defeat for India. Pathetic batting. None of them wants to play long innings. https://t.co/H9GV0MKGOo

It's a good thing Yashasvi Jaiswal didn't score 300 because he might have been dropped for the next match. #INDvsENG

It was probably going to be Anderson's last over. Maybe Jaiswal could have played him out and attacked the spinners. But what an innings. On a dream batting surface, the next best is 34. Without Jaiswal, it might have been very very tricky.

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s maiden double ton lifts India to 396 in the first innings against England

On Saturday, a stellar performance by Yashasvi Jaiswal let India score 396 against England in Vizag.

In helping the team, Shubman Gill and Rajat Patidar both added runs, notching up 34 (46) and 32 (72), respectively. Axar Patel, Shreyas Iyer, and Ravichandran Ashwin also helped with their 27 (51), 27 (59) and 20 (37) individual scores, respectively.

England’s players also had notable contributions. James Anderson, Rehan Ahmed and first-time player Shoaib Bashir all took three wickets each. Tom Hartley claimed a single wicket.

The five-game Test series, currently led by Ben Stokes and his team 1-0, owes their initial victory of a 28-run lead in the first Test to their performance in Hyderabad. Ollie Pope scored an impressive 196 runs while Tom Hartley dominated with ball, earning a 7-fer.
