India draw level with West Indies in the T20 series

After incurring two heavy blows in the T20 series against West Indies, India have pulled it back in style. While Tilak Varma has been the find of the series, Yashavi Jaiswal has also made it known that he is a dependable name for the future. Jaiswal has already registered a Test cenury in the tour.

Chasing a target of 179 in the 4th T20 against West Indies, the Rajasthan Royals starlet was sent up the order as an opener along with Shubman Gill. The left-hander scored freely from the outset and made the majority of runs in boundaries. Jaiswal hit 11 fours and 3 sixes in his innings of 84 runs. Though all his strikes were as clean as a whistle, one raised extra eyebrows.
