Yashasvi Jaiswal joins Kohli and Dravid with yet another fifty

With continuing as last record, 22-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal showcased his batting prowess yet again in the ongoing India vs England Test series. Following his remarkable back-to-back double centuries in previous matches, Jaiswal delivered another stellar performance in the fourth Test held in Ranchi.

Facing England’s disciplined bowling attack on Day 2 of the Ranchi Test, Jaiswal exhibited his resilience after an early setback with the loss of Rohit Sharma.

Jaiswal’s patient innings culminated in a well-earned fifty off 89 balls while batting alongside Rajat Patidar.

The milestone was reached in the 40th over of the game, underscoring Jaiswal’s exceptional form throughout the series. With at least one fifty-plus score in each Test match so far, his standout performances include two consecutive double centuries in the second and third Tests. In Vizag, he notched a century in the first innings, while in Rajkot, his stellar batting anchored India’s dominance in the second innings.
