Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal shocked everyone with his power and precision when he struck Nathan Lyon’s ball for a six. The bat rotated in his hand, and it lacked timing; still, it went over the fence, acquiring the height of 100 meters.
In the 52nd over, Yashasvi Jaiswal was batting on a score of 80 runs in 180 balls. He was fully determined and focused on his inning.

The shot lacked timing, but the power was enough to let the ball clear the boundary rope over long-on.
This shot amazed the fans, leaving them in awe as the ball soared effortlessly into the stands, showcasing sheer power and impeccable timing. With this shot, Yashasvi Jaiswal became the player with most sixes in a calendar year in Test match history (34 sixes).
The batting approach of Jaiswal and Rahul was a perfect blend of aggression and technique, with Jaiswal’s youthful exuberance complementing Rahul’s calm and composed style. Together, they built partnerships with a mix of controlled aggression and calculated shot selection, relentlessly pressuring the bowlers while maintaining a solid foundation.
Both of the openers would be looking forward to capitalizing on the start and converting their knocks into big innings, laying a strong foundation for the team and putting the opposition under constant pressure as they aim for a substantial partnership.
