Yashasvi Jaiswal put on a spectacular display of batting prowess during the second T20I match against Australia on Sunday. In a remarkable innings, the young cricketer scored a blistering half-century off just 24 balls. Jaiswal’s performance was characterized by his complete dominance over the Australian bowlers, as he smashed 9 fours and 2 sixes.
One particular moment exemplifying Jaiswal’s authority came in the fourth over of the Indian innings, when he scored an astounding 24 runs off five balls from Sean Abbott. In a display of sheer power, Jaiswal struck three boundaries in the first three balls of the over. On the fourth delivery, he unleashed a massive six over deep mid-wicket.
