Jaiswal became the second Virender Sehwag

Indian team's opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal had earlier scored a double century during the last match played in Visakhapatnam. After this, as soon as Jaiswal scored a double century in the Rajkot Test, Michael Vaughan made a post on social media. In which he wrote, 'India now has a new Sehwag.' Yashasvi is a batsman who can destroy opposition bowling attacks in all formats of cricket, just like Viru used to do.

Virender Sehwag's career

Virender Sehwag was also known for his explosive batting. He used to bat very fast in Test cricket also. As an opening batsman, Sehwag played explosive innings and made Team India win many matches.

Yashasvi has played only 7 test matches so far in his career. In these 7 matches, he has scored two half-centuries and three centuries. He scored his first century against West Indies, when he played an inning of 171 runs. After this, he had his second century in the last match. Yashasvi played an innings of 209 runs in the Visakhapatnam Test. Apart from this, the young batsman also converted his third century in Rajkot into a double century.

Yashaswin's strike rate

Yashasvi's strike rate in Test cricket is also close to 70. The special thing is that he is the first batsman in the history of Test cricket to hit 22 sixes in a Test series. With this, he has also equaled the record of hitting most sixes in an innings. He hit 12 sixes in the third innings of Rajkot Test. Due to his explosive style, he is being called the next Virender Sehwag.
