'Bazballed the Bazball Team Royally': Players and Fans Heap Praise on Yashasvi Jaiswal After Rajkot Ton Against England

Team India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored an unbeaten ton in the third Test against England at Rajkot on Saturday to propel India to a score of 196 runs for the loss of two wickets in the second innings at stumps on Day 3.

Jaiswal made a scintillating 104 runs off just 133 deliveries before retiring hurt following what looked like spasms in his lower back as the hosts took their lead over the tourists to 322 runs after bundling the English batting order for 319 runs in the first innings.

Former players and fans took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to laud the young opener on his incredible effort.

Former team India opener Virender Sehwag shared a post that read, “Back-to-back century for Yashasvi Jaiswal. Treating Spinners the way they should be treated. De dana dan”

Shikhar Dhawan shared an update that read, “Yashasvi Jaiswal congrats on smashing a stunning century against #England in the 3rd Test, Congratulations as you showcased remarkable skill and determination. Love the #Bazball approach.

Subramaniam Badrinath posted, “One name very much certain in the test XI for the next coming years : Yashasvi Jaiswal”

Sanjay Manjrekar said, “Can drive, can cut, can hook, can pull, can sweep in 4 different ways. Yashasvi Jaiswal has it all to become a very special player!”

The plaudits also poured in from the fans as one posted, “Century by Yashasvi Jaiswal again! This guy bazballed the bazball team royally!”

While another fan posted, “This celebration is pure joy to watch! – Yashasvi Jaiswal, you are the hero”

Shubman Gill and nightwatchman Kuldeep Yadav, who came in to bat following the dismissal of Rajat Patidar, stayed unbeaten at the end of the day’s play at 65 runs and 3 runs respectively.
