IND vs ENG 3rd Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal went off the the field mid-way during his batting after struggling with back spasm.
Yashasvi Jaiswal raised injury concern for India during the ongoing third Test against England in Rajkot. The batter went off the the field mid-way during his batting after struggling with back spasm. The southpaw was unbeaten at the score of 104 before the start of the 45th over of India’s second innings when he decided to get back to the dressing room. Before taking the decision, Jaiswal was seen struggling on the ground with his back. The physio gave him temporary treatment twice but that could keep the batter on the ground only for a couple of overs.
Talking about the game, Jaiswal’s dream season just got better as he singlehandedly seized the initiative from England with a sizzling century, putting India in complete control at the end of third day’s play in the third Test.
Jaiswal’s (104 retired hurt off 133 balls) second ton of the series was beautifully complemented by Shubman Gill (65 batting, 120 balls), who curbed his natural aggression as India ended the day at 196 for 2 in 51 available overs.
The left-handed opener, who will be torch-bearer of Indian batting for the next decade, scored his third Test hundred in only seventh Test appearance before the blazing blade was brought to a halt by back spasms that forced him to retire.
The Jaiswal-Gill pair added 155 runs in quick time with the former giving the English team a test of its own medicine with nine fours and five sixes, the best being the imperious pull off Jimmy Anderson.
The overall lead swelled to 322 by stumps, after Indian bowlers made a splendid comeback, getting last five England wickets for only 29 runs with visitors being bowled out for 319.
