The Indian team will face the visiting Bangladesh team on September 19 at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. Team India’s players are busy preparing for this match and are sweating it out in the nets. All the players tried their hands at batting and bowling in the practice session. In the practice session, Virat Kohli was the first to come to bat, and young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal practiced in the net next to him.
Both the batsmen practiced batting in the nets against Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin. During this, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal did not appear in his form. He had a lot of difficulty in playing Bumrah. Many of Bumrah’s balls took the outside edge of Jaiswal’s bat. Not only this, Bumrah also bowled him twice. Jaiswal was seen struggling during the entire practice session. During this, he was also seen talking to Virat Kohli.
Bumrah troubled him a lot.
Not only Bumrah, but net bowlers like Simarjit Singh, Gurnur Brar, and Gurjanpreet Singh also troubled Jaiswal a lot, which can put Team India in tension. Yashasvi Jaiswal has failed to make an impact in the first-class match in the current season. Even in the Duleep Trophy match, runs did not come from his bat. He returned to the pavilion cheaply on the ball of Avesh Khan and Khalil Ahmed. And now his inability to adjust to the swing and bounce in the nets is not a good sign for Team India.
Kohli and Jaiswal practiced batting in the nets for about an hour. During this time, Bumrah also troubled Kohli a lot. Kohli, however, hit some brilliant covers and drives. At the same time, Jaiswal played spin bowling well. He used his feet well against the spinners and hit some brilliant square cuts.
Jaiswal’s eyes on the world record
Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored 1028 runs in 16 innings of 9 Test matches for India at an average of 68.53. This includes 3 centuries and 4 half-centuries. 29 sixes have now come from his bat in Tests. This year he has hit 26 sixes in Tests and now he has a chance to make the record of hitting the most sixes in Tests in a calendar year.
