Team India’s young sensation batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal scored his second double century in the seventh Test of his career. Yashaswi scored his second double century in a row in the ongoing Test series against England. Jaiswal scored an unbeaten 214 runs off 236 balls with 12 sixes and 14 fours in the second innings of the third Test at Rajkot. Jaiswal retired hurt on the third day after the century. Today (February 18) he returned to the ring on the fourth day and performed a hero’s tour. He hit the mark with a double century.
Yashaswi Jaiswal exploded with a double century and Shubman Gill (91 runs) and Sarfaraz Khan (68 runs off 72 balls; not out) excelled with half-centuries. With this, Team India declared the second innings at 430 for 4 wickets in the second session today on the fourth day. England were given a massive target of 557 runs. Achieving this goal is almost impossible. There is still 43 overs to be played today, so it is very difficult for England to draw as the fifth day is also to be played. With this, Team India has completely mastered this third Test.
Indian batsman Sarfaraz Khan scored half-centuries in the second innings on his Test debut. He fully lived up to the expectations placed on him. Sarfaraz became the fourth Indian player to score half-centuries in two innings on Test debut.
