Yashasvi Jaiswal overcomes back spasms to slam gritty 200 as India take control in IND vs ENG 3rd Test

Earlier on the third day, Yashasvi scored a stellar 104 runs off 133 balls before retiring hurt

Young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal overcame his back spasms concerns, rallying to a gritty unbeaten 200 off 231 balls on Day 4 of the IND vs ENG 3rd Test in Rajkot. Jaiswal had retired hurt late on Day 3 after a stunning century. He slammed 14 boundaries and 10 maximums as India seized control of the match.

Earlier on the third day, Jaiswal showcased his aggressive batting prowess, scoring 104 runs off 133 balls with nine boundaries and five sixes. Partnering with Shubman Gill, he amassed a formidable 155-run partnership before leaving the field due to injury.

Coming on the fourth day, Jaiswal struck up a stellar partnership with Sarfaraz Khan. The two added a massive 136* runs off 139 balls as India took a lead of over 500 runs.

Yashasvi Jaiswal puts India in a commanding position in Rajkot:

Starting cautiously after England’s first innings total of 319, Jaiswal initially paired with Rohit Sharma for a 30-run stand. After Sharma’s dismissal, Jaiswal joined forces with Gill again, forming a century-plus partnership that put India in a dominant position.

Jaiswal took charge against experienced bowlers like James Anderson and Hartley, hitting them for boundaries and sixes to build pressure on the English side.
