Yashasvi Jaiswal slammed Sean Abbott for 24 runs in a single over during the second T20I encounter between India and Australia.
Yashasvi Jaiswal showcased an outstanding performance in the second T20I against Australia on Sunday, smashing a brilliant half-century off just 24 balls. The young player demonstrated complete control against the Australian bowlers, hitting 9 fours and 2 sixes. A highlight of his dominance occurred in the fourth over, where Jaiswal scored 24 runs, including three fours and two sixes, off five balls from Sean Abbott. The left-hander consecutively slammed three boundaries and then launched the delivery over deep mid-wicket for a massive six. Following that, he targeted the same area again, clearing the boundary easily for the second six of the over. Although no runs were scored on the final ball, the over accumulated 24 runs, thrilling fans with Jaiswal’s aggressive batting.
In the match, Australia’s captain, Matthew Wade, won the toss and chose to field as they aimed to level the series in the second Twenty20 international. The touring team, which lost the first match of the five-game series just four days after winning the ODI World Cup, made two changes in Thiruvananthapuram. World Cup heroes Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell returned to the team, replacing Jason Behrendorff and Aaron Hardie.
India, coming off an unchanged lineup from their exciting two-wicket win the previous week under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, saw Suryakumar and Ishan Kishan as the only two players retained from their ODI World Cup team, which entered the final undefeated but lost by six wickets in Ahmedabad.
