Jaiswal batted brilliantly

Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 82 runs in the first innings for Team India. Then he was run out and could not score a century. After this, he remained at one end in the second innings as well, but he did not get support from the other batsmen. In the second innings, Team India scored a total of 155 runs, out of which 84 runs came from Jaiswal’s bat. The rest of the batsmen proved to be a flop badly and could not play big innings. Jaiswal’s wicket was taken by Pat Cummins in the second innings. After 60 years, a foreign batsman did wonders

Yashasvi Jaiswal has done wonders by scoring half-centuries in both the innings. He has become the third foreign player to score 80-plus runs in both innings of a Test match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Before him, Hanif Mohammad (the year 1964) and Herbert Sutcliffe (the year 1925) had scored 80 plus in both innings of a Test match at the Melbourne ground. Now Jaiswal has repeated the feat of Mohammad Hanif after 60 years.
