For Yashasvi Jaiswal: India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal has been named the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for February 2024 while Australia all-rounder Annabel Sutherland won the corresponding ICC Women’s Player of the Month award.

For Yashasvi Jaiswal, the month was a canvas upon which he painted his brilliance with the strokes of his bat. Jaiswal was on top of his performance with a double-century (209) in the first inning of the second Test at Visakhapatnam and then slammed his second double-hundred of the series in the second inning (214) of the third Test.

Jaiswal scored 560 runs in his first three Tests, including an astonishing 20 sixes. Jaiswal’s innings helped India make a comeback in the series after losing the first Test. The back-to-back double hundreds at the age of 22 years and 49 days made him the third youngest batter in the world to record two double centuries in Tests after Sir Donald Bradman and Vinod Kambli.
