Former England batter Owais Shah termed Yashasvi Jaiswal as the “most dangerous” Indian batter on current form. Jaiswal scored back-to-back half-centuries to put India in a good position on Day 1 of the second Test against England at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
Jaiswal had scored an attacking 80 in the first innings of the Hyderabad Test that set the platform for the hosts to put up a big total but in the second innings when India were chasing 231, Jaiswal went into his shell and in the end, tapped a straightforward delivery to the forward short leg fielder.
Jaiswal was too attacking in the first innings in Hyderabad and in the second innings, it was the opposite. In Visakhapatnam, he applied the middle path. Jaiswal (51 batting off 92) had the company of Shreyas Iyer (4 batting) at the break after the fall of Rohit (14 off 41) and Shubman Gill (34 off 46), who looked good before James Anderson had him caught behind with a beauty.
