Delhi: The fourth Test of the five -match series is being played between India and England at the Old Trafford ground in Manchester. This match is like a do or die for India because in the event of defeat, the team will also lose the series. Batting first, India needed a good start and this responsibility was played by Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Yashasvi made a record
Jaiswal scored 58 runs in 107 balls. This is the first half -century of an Indian opener in Manchester in the last 50 years. Earlier in 1974, Sunil Gavaskar scored 58 runs against England at the same ground. The 50 -year drought ended with this innings of Yashasvi.
However, he was dismissed for 58 runs despite appearing in good rhythm. He was caught by Liam Dawson in the slip. This was the first Test wicket of Dawson after eight years.
With this innings, Jaiswal also completed his 1000 runs in the Test against England. He touched this figure in just 16 innings and equaled Mohammad Azharuddin’s record. Both players have completed 1000 runs in 16 innings against England. In this case, Rahul Dravid is still the fastest, who did this feat in just 15 innings.
KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal gave India a good start. Both added 94 runs for the first wicket. Rahul was dismissed for 46 runs. As soon as Jaiswal was out, India lost two more wickets. Captain Shubman Gill returned after scoring just 12 runs.
After this, Sai Sudarshan and Rishabh Pant handled the innings. Sudarshan, who has come to the place of Karun Nair in this match, is playing at the crease and is engaged in giving stability to India’s innings.
