India emerged victorious against England in the second Test of the five-match series held in Visakhapatnam and secured a 106-run win. For India, the hero in the batting department was the young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 209 runs in the first innings of the Test.
After the match, Jaiswal revealed the strategy employed by the team in approaching this Test. At the same time, he also praised the performance of the star bowler Jasprit Bumrah.
While talking to the media, after the game, the left-handed batter said, “Wonderful feeling, really enjoyed the game. One of the best moments to win a game for your country. We were just focusing on our process, focused on our fielding and I think it went well. (On pitch) There was a bit of crack and there was some seam movement, so it was a bit hard to play in the fourth innings. (Difference in white ball and red ball) It is very different, in these games, I try to play till the end, and in the white game, I go for it from the first ball and have an intent to score.”
He further added,”(On Bumrah) The way Bumrah bowled was incredible, it was coming too fast at the slip cordon too. (On second innings batting) My intent was the same, I wanted to play out the new ball and build my innings.”
The third Test is scheduled to take place at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. The match will start on February 15, after a 10-day break.
