India emerged victorious in the third Test against England, triumphing by a massive margin of 434 runs. This remarkable feat was achieved thanks to the outstanding performances of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored his second double century, and Ravindra Jadeja, who took five wickets.
Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain, took to Instagram to express his admiration for the young talents in the team. Following their triumph at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, Sharma shared a story on his Instagram account, commending Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan, and Dhruv Jurel.
Jaiswal, who is only 22 years old, now boasts two double centuries in his career. His first remarkable achievement came in the second Test in Vizag, and he followed it up with another outstanding performance in the subsequent match. In the second Test, he scored an impressive 209 runs from 290 balls, and in the third Test, he remained unbeaten with a score of 216* from 236 balls.
Sarfaraz, making his debut in the third Test, showcased his skills by scoring a quick half-century of 62 runs from 66 balls. He continued his impressive form in the second innings, scoring an unbeaten 68 runs from 72 balls.
Despite scoring 46 runs off 104 balls in the first innings, debutant Jurel made a significant contribution by executing a brilliant run-out of Ben Duckett, displaying exceptional presence of mind. Captain Sharma praised these three players in his own unique way, writing, “Ye Aajkal ke bacche (The kids of today).”
India’s victory in the third Test was also aided by Ravindra Jadeja’s exceptional bowling performance. Jadeja conceded only 41 runs in his 12.4 overs, with four maiden overs, at an impressive economy rate of 3.24. His five-wicket-haul played a crucial role in dismissing the English team for just 122 runs. However, Rohit Sharma, in his elation, chose not to specifically praise Jaiswal.
The fourth Test match is scheduled to commence on February 23 in Ranchi, with India currently leading the five-match Test series 2-1.
