Sarfaraz Khan and Yashasvi Jaiswal were involved in a tense moment during the third Test against England. While Jaiswal was on the brink of reaching his double century, Sarfaraz got angry when Jaiswal refused to take a double run. The incident led to a heated exchange between the two players.
Jaiswal was the standout performer in the match held at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. He converted his century into a remarkable double hundred. On the fourth day of the game, Jaiswal was batting at 199* and was eager to reach the milestone of 200. However, Sarfaraz, who was making his debut, calmed him down and advised him not to take unnecessary risks.
The incident was captured on camera and shared on social media platforms. In the video, Sarfaraz can be seen shouting at Jaiswal, but it is evident that he was trying to keep him grounded and focused. The camaraderie between the two players was evident, despite the heated moment.
Sarfaraz managed to score a half-century, with a quickfire 68 off 72 balls. On the other hand, Jaiswal’s exceptional innings of 216 runs came off 236 balls. After his impressive double century, Jaiswal revealed that his drive to score runs for Team India stems from his hard-working nature, which he attributes to living in India. Representing his country is his biggest motivation.
This was Jaiswal’s second double century in just six matches since his debut in 2023 against West Indies. He also mentioned that playing Test cricket is challenging, but he tries to approach it session by session.
The fourth Test match is scheduled to begin on February 23 in Ranchi. It will be intriguing to witness Jaiswal’s performance in that game.
