Quick Read
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been the nearly man of India white-ball cricket. Despite boasting a commendable average of 36.15 and a terrific strike-rate of 164.31 in 23 matches, he hasn’t played a T20I since July 2024. The logjam at the top of the ODI tree had restricted his appearance in that format to just one until last week, when an unfortunate neck injury to skipper Shubman Gill threw him an unexpected lifeline.
Perhaps overkeen to make a mark, the left-hander was dismissed for 18 in the first game and 22 in the next against South Africa in Ranchi and Raipur, respectively. With the series on the line, the 23-year-old adopted a different tack to complete the full set of international hundreds in all three formats.
