IND vs ENG: Watch - Yashasvi Jaiswal smacks James Anderson for 3 consecutive sixes in 3rd test

Yashasvi Jaiswal hammered James Anderson for hat-trick of sixes in 3rd test in Rajkot.

Indian left-handed opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal is having a phenomenal run in the ongoing five-match test series between India and England.

Currently, Jaiswal, who is the leading run-scorer of the IND vs ENG test series, put on a spectacular show in the ongoing third-test match at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. 

Earlier on day 3, the Indian opener notched up his brilliant century before getting retired hurt for 112 runs. However, at the start of day 4, after Kuldeep Yadav’s wicket, Jaiswal came to bat and continued to dominate the English bowlers along with Sarfaraz Khan as India’s lead stretched over 500 runs at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot.

However, during the 87th over of India’s second innings, Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal showed no mercy to England’s premium fast pacer James Anderson. Jaiswal, who is inching towards his second test double ton, hammered James Anderson for 21 runs, which included three huge sixes in that over.
