Rajkot: With Yashasvi Jaiswal’s excellent century in the second innings, Team India has tightened its grip on England in the Rajkot Test match. Yashasvi could score only 10 runs in the first innings, but in the second innings he created a sensation for Team India. However, he got injured shortly after completing his century due to which he had to retire hurt and go back to the pavilion. Before retiring hurt, Yashasvi had scored 104 runs in 133 balls, which included 9 fours and 5 sixes.
In such a situation, the question now arises that how serious is Yashasvi’s injury and whether he will be able to come on the field for batting on the fourth day of the game or not. If the injury becomes more serious then it will definitely be bad news for Team India.
Yashasvi has suffered a back strain
Yashasvi Jaiswal suffered a back strain problem while batting in the second innings. In such a situation, he immediately called the physio as a precaution, but even after this when he did not feel comfortable, he decided to retire hurt. The way Yashasvi showed his seriousness regarding the injury, it is clear that he can return to the field to bat again on the fourth day.
Shubman Gill has maintained the front
Currently, Shubman Gill is leading the charge for Team India. Shubman could not even open his account in the first innings, but by scoring a half-century in the second innings, he has provided excellent support to Yashasvi Jaiswal. Shubman returned to the pavilion unbeaten after scoring 65 runs on the third day of the game. Kuldeep Yadav, who came to bat with him as a night watchman, scored 3 runs.
Till the third day of the game, Team India has scored 196 runs for 2 wickets. India had scored 445 runs in its first innings. In response, the England team could score only 319 runs. In such a situation, the host team got a lead of 126 runs. At the same time, till the stumps of the third day, Team India’s lead was 322.
