Young jaiswal

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Young India cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal shared his mindset while batting, emphasising the positivity that propelled him to play in fearless aggression against England on Day 1 of the first Test of a five-match Test series. In the spirit of his attacking approach, Jaiswal fell tantalisingly short of a century, but he harbours no regrets.

The 22-year-old opener was making his Test debut at home. From the very first ball, he set the tone for India's replay to England's first innings score of 246 by striking a four off Mark Wood and later showcasing his flair by dispatching the first ball of spin for a resounding six of debutant Tom Hartley.

The echoes of attacking shots resonated through the game, making it only the second instance since August 2018 that the first five wickets fell to such audacious strokes.
