Jaiswal Sets Unique T20I Record For India With Blazing Fifty vs Australia

Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was at his best on Sunday during India's second T20I match against Australia at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. The southpaw took the Australian bowlers to the cleaners and scored 53 runs in 25 balls, providing India a terrific start after Australia invited them to bat first. Jaiswal got out on the fifth ball of the 6th over. The blazing knock helped the southpaw register the most runs by an Indian batter in the powerplay of a T20I game.

Jaiswal and Ishan Kishan led India's batting charge to set up a convincing 44-run win over Australia in the second T20I on Sunday.

Apart from Jaiswal, his fellow left-hander Kishan hit 52 off 32 deliveries to help India to 235 for 4 after being invited to bat first in Thiruvananthapuram.
