Rajkot Test: ‘I don’t see any weakness in his game’ – Pietersen hails Jaiswal
India's Yashasvi Jaiswal hit England great James Anderson for three consecutive sixes on day 4 (Sunday, Feb 18) of the third Test in Rajkot. Jaiswal, who had retired on day 3 after scoring 104 due to back spams, came to bat after Shubman Gill was run out on 91 in the first session of the day.
The sixes came in 85th over of India's second innings with Jaiswal batting on 159. He dispatched second, third and fourth ball for a six in the bowler's 12th over. Have a look at the sixes below:
