Yashasvi Jaiswal got out in both innings against James Anderson in the second Test which was played in Vizag but now he has taken his revenge in Rajkot by smashing for back-to-back three sixes in an over. It was an amazing sight to see a bowler with 21 years of experience in Test cricket being smoked by a 22-year-old youngster in a Test match. Jaiswal has been brilliant in this Test match and will hopefully continue the onslaught in the remaining matches as well.
India is in a very strong position from here to win the Test match as they are already leading by more than 500 runs and England will have a mammoth total to chase in the fourth innings. The five-match series is currently levelled 1-1 and India is all set to get a lead in this series. India has not lost a Test series at home since 2012 and has won 16 consecutive Test series at home, aiming to make it 17 by defeating England in the ongoing series.
