Though Yashasvi Jaiswal: Though Yashasvi Jaiswal is the youngest batter in the Indian Test line-up, his career-best knock of 209 seemed like the innings of a veteran, bailing the team out of a tricky situation. In the ongoing second Test against England at Visakhapatnam, Jaiswal showed a perfect blend of caution and aggression while exhibiting his immaculate footwork and shot placement to single-handedly power India to 396 via his maiden double-hundred.

It is in Jaiswal's nature to bat aggressively, but the slowness in the Visakhapatnam pitch, which gave a placid look, meant England's bowlers kept India in check, resulting in Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill falling after getting starts.

Jaiswal took time to get used to the pitch and situation before unleashing his aggressive play when the England spinners came in, including taking all of his seven sixes off them. Jaiswal's ability to understand what a situation demands and adjust his play accordingly in Visakhapatnam brought great joy to his childhood coach, Jwala Singh.
