4,4,4,4! Yashasvi Jaiswal destroys Mitchell Starc in the first over as the pacer slumps to an all-time low
Young Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal bowled Australian pacer Mitchell Starc in the second innings of the fifth Test in the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) series. Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed four fours in the over when Mitchell Starc came to bowl the first over of India’s second innings in Sydney.
Debutant Beau Webster played a key role for Australia on the second day of the New Year’s Test. He smashed his maiden Test 50, scoring 57 off 105 balls, which included five boundaries. Australia were bowled out for 181 in 51 overs, trailing India four times in the first innings at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Watch: Yashasvi Jaiswal smashes four boundaries in Mitchell Starc’s first over
Yashasvi Jaiswal started the second innings spectacularly for India. The young batsman smashed four consecutive boundaries off Mitchell Starc in the first over. Jaiswal expertly cut a short and wide delivery over the boundary belt for a boundary. He played two more cut shots for boundaries off the next two balls
Starc overcorrected with a full delivery wide of the off-stump and Jaiswal capitalized by going through extra cover for the fourth boundary. Jaiswal’s 16 runs in the first over are the most by an Indian batsman in the first over of a Test innings. It was also Starc’s most expensive opening over in a Test at home in his career.
Sometimes JaisWall, sometimes JaisBall! 🔥
