Former England captain Michael Vaughan has lauded Yashasvi Jaiswal for his performance and stated that he is going to be a big problem for England ahead of the ongoing Test series. Yashasvi Jaiswal started his Test career with a bang as he scored a century on his Test debut against West Indies in Windsor Park Stadium, Dominica.
In the ongoing Test series between India and England, Jaiswal’s performance with the bat is absolutely brilliant. In the second Test match against England, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored his first double hundred and also became the third youngest Indian batter to score a Test double hundred for India. he scored 209 runs from 290 balls which included 19 fours and 7 sixes. India won the Test match by 106 runs.
Jaiswal’s knock played an important role as India set a big total especially when no other batter could score a half-century in the first innings. As wickets started to fall from another end Jaiswal stood up with discipline and calm composure which was instrumental to reaching this achievement.
