Yashasvi Jaiswal
IND vs AUS: The Border-Gavaskar Trophy has started between India and Australia. The fight continues between the two teams in the first Test match being played in Perth. Team India’s batsmen failed miserably on the first day of the Perth Test, as a result of which the entire team could not play even 50 overs and collapsed on the score of just 150 runs. The Indian opening pair could add only 5 runs for the first wicket as young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, playing his first Test match in Australia, could not score a single run and returned to the pavilion on a duck. Jaiswal faced 8 balls but could not open the account. He became the victim of Mitchell Starc in the third over itself.
In response to the Indian innings score of 150 runs, the performance of Australian batsmen was also very poor. Jasprit Bumrah single-handedly destroyed the top order of the Kangaroo team. By the end of the first day’s play, Australia’s 7 batsmen had returned to the pavilion with a score of 67 runs. After this, on the second day Australia returned to the pavilion on the score of 104 runs. After this, taking a lesson from the failure of the first innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal along with KL Rahul played cautiously in the second innings and started Team India’s innings and created a new history by adding 15 runs to their account.
Big feat of Yashasvi Jaiswal
Actually, Yashasvi Jaiswal is in great form this year. He is the highest run scorer for India in Tests. The young opening batsman is only the second batsman in the world after Joe Root to score more than 1000 runs this year. As soon as Jaiswal touched the 15-run mark during the second innings of the Perth Test, a new miracle happened in the history of Indian Test cricket. Jaiswal has become the left-handed Indian batsman who has scored the most runs in a calendar year in Test cricket. He broke a 16 year old record. Earlier this record was in the name of former Indian cricketer and current head coach of Team India, Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir had scored 1134 runs in 16 innings of 8 Test matches in Test cricket in the year 2008. During this period, he scored 3 centuries and 6 half-centuries.
