2nd Test: Jaiswal Eyes Double Hundred On Day 2; Says Dravid, Rohit Gave Him Confidence To Go For A Big Score
Rajasekhara Reddy ACA: India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal credited the “session by session” approach that helped him score his highest score of 179 runs during the second Test match against England, at the Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium here on Friday.
Jaiswal scored 179 off 257 deliveries propelling India to 336 for 6 at the end of Day 1 of the second Test. Jaiswal batted through the 93 overs, showing a precocious variety of Test-match gears to finish unbeaten, scoring his second Test hundred and his second big hundred too -- his previous best was a lovely, unhurried 171 on debut in Dominica against West Indies.
Jaiswal's 179 is the joint-second highest score by an Indian batter in a single day's play against England in a Test match after Karun Nair's 232 in a day's play in Chennai in 2016. Gavaskar had also scored 179 in a day's play against England in London in 1979.
