In Sunday’s second Twenty20 International match against Australia, Yashasvi Jaiswal hammered a magnificent half-century off just 24 balls. The young player looked to be in perfect control of the Australian bowlers, as he ended up hitting two sixes and nine fours in an exciting knock. off the fourth over of the Indian innings, Jaiswal hit 24 runs off five balls from Sean Abbott, including three fours and two sixes. This was a great example of his dominance against Australian bowlers. In the first three balls of the over, the left-hander struck three boundaries, then on the fourth ball, he lofted Abbott’s delivery over deep mid-wicket for an incredible six. After he targeted the same location and comfortably cleared the boundary for the second six of the over, the outcome was the same one ball later.
Although there was no score on the last ball, supporters were ecstatic to witness Jaiswal’s aggressive batting style as 24 runs were scored off the over.
Yashasvi was in the mood tonight 😌

In an attempt to square the series in the second Twenty20 international, Australia’s captain Matthew Wade won the toss and decided to field against India on Sunday. The visitors have made two changes in Thiruvananthapuram after losing the opening game of the five-match series four days after winning the ODI World Cup.
Former World Cup stars Glenn Maxwell, an all-rounder, and leg-spinner Adam Zampa have rejoined the team in place of Jason Behrendorff and Aaron Hardie. After a thrilling two-wicket victory last week under captain Suryakumar Yadav, India enters unchanged.
The only two Indian players remaining from their ODI World Cup team are Suryakumar and Ishan Kishan. The team got into the final without a loss but was defeated by six wickets in Ahmedabad.
