India set up to take advantage of an innocuous-looking track in Vizag in the second Test by opting to bat first with hopes of posting a huge total on the board. However, the exper⛄ienced trio of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Shreyas Iyer spurned prom𒆙ising starts to have India three down by the second session and it took a ravishing knock from the young Yashasvi Jaiswal to save the hosts their graces. The 22-year-old threw caution to the wind whenever an opportunity arose to throw his bats at the ball, trashing a ball over cover in the second over itself to signal his intentions. However, none of his preceding 11 boundaries and two maximums compared to how he brought up a second Test century.
Batting on 94, Jaiswal took a couple of balls to take the measure of Tom Hartley in the 49th over before clearing his front leg and tonking the ball high over long-on into the second tier to get to the landmark three-figure mark. Ecstatic with the achi🍰evement, the opener went on a celebration spree by first pumping the crowd up with arms spread wide before blowing kisses to the stands and thanking the heavens. Notably, the mammoth st✨rike was reminiscent of a certain Virender Sehwag who had made a name for himself for getting to milestones with audacious strikes, having famously brought up a triple century with a maximum.
Twitterati was quick to draw the compariso🐈ns while expressing amusement over the se♉veral celebrations.
What a moment!

Amazing
So far in Test cricket, I have seen only two Indian batsmen score centuries with sixes, one is Rohit Sharma and the other is Yashasvi Jaiswal.
