3rd Test: Jaiswal’s Double Ton, Sarfaraz & Gill's Fifties Help India Set Mammoth 557-run Target For Eng
Niranjan Shah Stadium: A phenomenal double century from Yashasvi Jaiswal coupled with fifties from Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan propelled India to set England a mammoth 557 runs to win the third Test after declaring their second innings at 430/4 in 98 overs.
Jaiswal, who had to retire hurt on 104 on day three due to back cramps, remained unbeaten on a career-best score of 214 off 236 balls. He hit 14 fours and 12 sixes, and levelled with Wasim Akram for the world record for most sixes in a Test innings. Jaiswal is also the first Test player to hit 20 sixes in a series.
With his smooth power game enthralling fans under bright sunshine at the Niranjan Shah Stadium on Sunday, Jaiswal is now the leading run-getter in the ongoing series and also the third-youngest player to smash two double-centuries in Tests, behind Vinod Kambli and Don Bradman.
