IND vs NZ 2nd Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal achieved a big record, the 1st Indian batsman to do this in 2024

India vs New Zealand 2nd Test: Yassavi Jaiswal shines amid team struggle: The successful Jaiswal is making his mark at the international level, but Team India faces challenges in the ongoing three-match Test series against New Zealand. India, who had a poor performance in the first match, were bowled out for just 46 runs in their first innings and faced criticism for their poor batting. However, there are some good things in the form of young opener Jaiswal.

Both Virat Kohli and skipper Rohit Sharma have struggled against Kiwi bowlers. Kohli managed to score a half-century in the second innings of the first Test, but it was not enough to avoid defeat and his consistency came into question. Similarly, Rohit Sharma has faced criticism for his poor form in Test cricket, failing to impress in both Bengaluru and Pune.

In contrast, Jaiswal is exposed. He recently set the record of becoming the first Indian batsman to hit 30 sixes in Test cricket in a calendar year. His historic six came against New Zealand’s Tim Southee, who faced an aggressive Jaiswal from the start of the innings. Critics have praised the young opening batsman’s aggressive mindset and impressive technique.

With many experts believing him to be the next big star in Indian cricket after the Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli era, Jaiswal’s potential is becoming more evident as the series progresses. Jaiswal will play a key role when India travel to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
