Team India’s young opening batsman Yashaswi Jaiswal created a sensation. He crossed another milestone in his career. He showed a good performance on the first day of the fifth Test series between England and India at Dharamsala. With this, he got a place in the list of great players. Jaiswal’s half-century crossed the 700-run mark at the HPCA ground on Thursday. The left-hander scored a half-century and reached 712 runs in the ongoing Test series against England.
Former Indian captain and star batsman Virat Kohli also has a similar history at the stadium in Himachal Pradesh. At the age of 35, he scored 655 runs in the home series against England in 2016. Legendary dependable Rahul Dravid also scored 602 runs on foreign soil against England in 2002 and finished third. Vijay Manjrekar’s 586 runs in the 1961-62 series against England in India was set in 1979 by an Indian cricketer. At that time, Sunil Gavaskar scored 542 runs and took the fifth position.
England, who won the toss and chose to bat first in the last Test of the Indian tour, lost a total of ten wickets on the first day to the Indian spin bowlers. The team was all out for 218 runs. Team India started the second innings and scored 135 runs after losing one wicket at the end of the first day’s play. Yashaswi Jaiswal scored 57 runs off 58 balls and got out. Along with Ben Duckett, Jack Crawley, Ollie Pope, Jonny Bairstow and captain Ben Stokes, Kuldeep Yadav took five valuable wickets and led the England team to the pavilion. Star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja picked up a wicket on 26 when he removed veteran batsman Joe Root from the crease. Also, Ravichandran Ashwin, who is playing his 100th Test, dismissed Tom Hartley, Mark Wood, Ben Folks, James Anderson and England could not make the highest score in the first innings.
