“Rewriting Cricket History” – Fans React As Yashasvi Jaiswal Slams Maiden Test Double Century

Yashasvi Jaiswal

Team India youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal stole the show in the second test against England at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. He slammed a double century in the match, his first in International cricket.

Yashasvi Jaiswal opened the batting alongside skipper Rohit Sharma. He looked in good touch at the crease and kept the scoreboard ticking. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, Jaiswal kept one end strong. He also scored at a brisk rate in the innings. He got to his second test century in the 48th over of the innings, with a six off Tom Hartley.

The left-handed batter kept going strong after the century and took on the England bowlers. He quickly raced in the 190s. In the 102nd over of the Indian innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal slammed a six and a four on consecutive deliveries to get to his maiden double century. He jumped and punched in the air to celebrate the achievement. The crowd also rose in to applaud the youngster. Jaiswal becomes the third youngest Indian to get a double-hundred.

Let’s take a look at how Twiteratti reacted to Yashasvi Jaiswal’s knock:
