Yashasvi Jaiswal Wins ICC Player Of Month Award Following Heroics vs England

New Delhi: ICC named Team India’s star opener Yashasvi Jaiswal as the ‘Player of the Month’ for February following his astonishing performance in the recently concluded five-match series against England, where the youngster became the first Indian to score more than 700 runs in a single Test series against the English side.

The 22-year-old southpaw totaled a staggering 712 runs over five matches, the highest aggregate by an Indian batter in a Test series against England. The Indian opener created several records in February and equaled the long-standing Test record for most sixes in a single Test innings (12) during his Rajkot double ton.

He struck two double hundreds and three half-centuries in the just-concluded series against England, which the hosts won 4-1 with Jaiswal playing a handsome role in the triumph.
