Delhi: India’s young opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal performed brilliantly in the fourth innings of the second test match against New Zealand. Team India has got the target of 359 runs to win the Pune Test, in response to which Yashasvi along with captain Rohit Sharma made a fast start. Although Rohit could not support them for long, Yashasvi thrashed the Kiwi bowlers.
IND vs NZ: Jaiswal did a feat which no player in Indian Test history could do
The left-handed batsman completed his fifty in just 41 balls, which was the eighth half-century of his Test career. After the half century, Yashasvi was rapidly moving towards his century, but he was out after scoring 77 runs in 65 balls on the bowling of left arm spinner Mitchell Santner. In his innings he hit 9 fours and 3 sixes.
Along with this, Yashasvi also made a big record in his name in Test cricket on Indian soil. He set the record of scoring the fastest 1000 Test runs in India, for which he faced only 1325 balls. Former opener Virender Sehwag had faced 1436 balls to complete 1000 runs on Indian soil, hence Yashasvi is now at the top in this matter.
Second batsman after Joe Root
Yashasvi is the only Indian batsman to score 1000 runs this year and he has also become the second player after Joe Root to score 1000 runs in this calendar year. If we talk about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, they are nowhere near Yashasvi this year.
