BGT 2024-25: Jaiswal’s Application, Commitment To Form A Partnership Was So Impressive, Says Gilchrist
Praising Yashasvi Jaiswal: Praising Yashasvi Jaiswal’s unbeaten 90 runs in India’s second innings on Day Two of the first Test against Australia, former wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist commended the opener for his application and commitment in sharing a vital 172-run stand with KL Rahul.
In front of 32,368 fans at the sun-baked Perth Stadium, Jaiswal, playing his first Test in Australia, came off a duck in the first innings, but showed balanced composure and aggression to be in complete control of his fabulous knock, laced with seven fours and two sixes.
His ninth Test fifty came in 123 balls – the slowest half-century of his career so far, but it was the adjustments he showed – his ability to soak pressure, play close to his body, and bring out the bat face late which made for great viewing, before unleashing his powerful shots in an unbroken 172-run stand with Rahul, who is 62 not out, as India swelled its lead to 218 runs.
