Yashasvi Jaiswal survived serious injury
Left -handed batsman Jaiswal is doing a good job with the bat in England tour, as he loves batting against the English team.
He has scored 932 runs in his 2018 in Test cricket against the England National Cricket Team, on an average of 77.66 and 214*.
Although he looks classy while batting in the ongoing Test series, it cannot be said about his performance on the field.
In the first Test, where India faced a 5-veic defeat for Ben Stokes-led side in Hadingley in Leeds, they fell as eight catches opportunities. The worst artist on the field for India was Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was responsible for the four dropped catches – three in Cordens (third slip, fourth slip, and street) and one in one.
Meanwhile, in the final innings of the Edgbaston Test, Yashsvi Jaiswal was part of a scary moment on the ground as he survived an injury.
On the second ball of the 20th over, Akash Deep bowled a back-off-one-one-one ball for Ben Stokes from around the wicket, and the England batsman played it behind the square.
Yashasvi Jaiswal came running to stop the ball deep, and unfortunately slipped badly. This midfield allowed Ben Stokes to take a double, and thankfully nothing was serious with the Yashasvi Jiswal, which was completely safe.

I don’t think it takes a change of attitude for England – Mark Butcher
Chasing a huge target of 608 against India in Birmingham, England, lost three wickets for 50 runs and was advised to play for a draw by Mark Bachar. Speaking on Sky Sports, Mark Bachar said:
“I don’t think it takes a change of attitude for England [to contemplate the draw]You can watch yourself as a win on avoiding this game. England talks about being in the entertainment business – well, we can remember all entertaining draws, people on the sides of their seats are needed and three overs left with a wicket need, or whatever can happen.
“Are the fans going to entertain you more than falling into a pile or you are clinging to your finger nails at the back of the day?
“I also feel that India needed all the inspiration of England till late last night. They are doing a gilt-ed of running away from here without losing a match, which they should really and really be buried. Use it for your benefit.”
