In the thrilling second T20I clash between India and Australia, Yashasvi Jaiswal showcased a spectacular performance, particularly in the fourth over of the Indian innings. His explosive batting spree left fans in awe as he mercilessly slammed Australian bowler Sean Abbott for 24 runs in just five balls.
Jaiswal’s dominance was evident as he effortlessly dispatched three boundaries in the first three deliveries of the over. On the fourth ball, he exhibited his power by heaving Abbott’s delivery over deep mid-wicket for an impressive six. Undeterred, he repeated the feat on the very next ball, clearing the boundary once again with a powerful shot to the same area.
The left-hander’s remarkable display included a total of 9 fours and 2 sixes, highlighting his absolute control against the Australian bowling attack. While the final ball of the over yielded no runs, the damage had been done – 24 runs had been plundered off Abbott’s over, leaving the audience exhilarated by Jaiswal’s aggressive and commanding batting style.

Australia, captained by Matthew Wade, had won the toss and opted to field, aiming to level the series in the second T20I. The tourists, coming off a loss in the first match after their triumph in the ODI World Cup, made strategic changes for the encounter in Thiruvananthapuram. World Cup heroes Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell returned to the team, replacing Jason Behrendorff and Aaron Hardie.
In contrast, India maintained an unchanged lineup from their previous thrilling victory. Led by captain Suryakumar Yadav, the team was riding on the momentum of a two-wicket win in the previous match.
Interestingly, only Suryakumar and Ishan Kishan retained their positions from the ODI World Cup team, which had entered the final unbeaten but ultimately suffered a six-wicket defeat in Ahmedabad. As the teams geared up for a fierce battle, Jaiswal’s explosive innings set the tone for an enthralling contest between the cricketing powerhouses.
