The second Test between India and England witnessed a batting masterclass on Day 4, courtesy of young prodigy Yashasvi Jaiswal and debutant Sarfaraz Khan. Jaiswal, fresh off a hundred in the previous Test, repeated the feat with a scintillating knock, while Khan joined the party with a fluent fifty, helping India post a mammoth 430/4, setting England an improbable target of 558 at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot.
The joy and appreciation say it all! ☺️ 👏

Jaiswal started his day where he left off, resuming on 106 after a valiant knock on Day 3. Jaiswal initially played cautiously, reaching his 150-run mark steadily. However, post-lunch, his inner T20 star emerged. He unleashed a flurry of boundaries, transforming his score from 35 runs in 73 balls to 88 in 101, a staggering 53 runs in just 28 deliveries. This blitz pushed India's lead beyond 400 by Lunch, putting England under immense pressure.

Earlier, Shubman Gill continued his good form, adding 45 runs to his overnight score before falling on 91. Kuldeep Yadav, promoted as a nightwatchman, played a crucial hand, scoring 33 runs, and adding valuable partnerships with both Gill and Jaiswal.
