The highly anticipated second test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is set to take place on December 6th. The pink-ball test match will be held at Adelaide Oval Cricket Ground, with Team India well-prepared after their convincing 6-wicket win against the Australian PM XI in a recent practice match. The Australian PM XI team was dismissed for just 240 runs, and India’s victory was largely attributed to Shubman Gill’s outstanding half-century. His impressive innings helped India secure the win.
Jaiswal’s Close Call with Injury
During the sixth over of the innings, Australian PM XI bowler Jack Nisbet delivered a challenging ball that Yashasvi Jaiswal struggled to judge. The high-speed ball caught Jaiswal off guard, hitting his helmet and causing him to lose his balance. Fortunately, Jaiswal escaped injury and was ready to continue batting. The incident sparked a brief moment of tension as Nisbet stared at Jaiswal, but the Indian batsman showed no signs of distress.

Yashasvi Jaiswal put on a remarkable display of batting skills against the Australian PM XI, scoring 45 runs from 59 balls. His impressive innings included nine fours, showcasing his exceptional form and ability to score runs for Team India. Notably, Jaiswal also played a crucial role in the first test match against Australia, scoring 161 runs and helping his team secure a victory.
