Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his remarkable run of form, scoring a brilliant 175 against the West Indies in the ongoing Test match. The young left-hander showcased exceptional maturity and control, featuring 22 boundaries in his innings before being dismissed due to a run-out misunderstanding.
Jaiswal's monumental knock places him among an elite group, becoming one of the youngest players globally to register five scores of 150 or more before turning 24, matching the achievement of former South African captain Graeme Smith. His consistency in converting starts into massive totals has drawn high praise from cricketing legends.
During a lighthearted moment, West Indies great Brian Lara humorously pleaded with the young batsman to ease up on the opposition bowlers, underscoring the dominance Jaiswal displayed at the crease. This performance further solidifies Jaiswal's reputation as a prolific scorer and a cornerstone of India's future batting lineup.
“Don't beat our bowlers that bad!”
