India's star batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal has created history at the age of 22. Yashasvi Jaiswal is the first Indian player to score 50+ runs in T20 International five times at the age of 23. Yashasvi Jaiswal achieved this milestone in the second game against Afghanistan on Sunday. It can be seen that Yashasvi Jaiswal overshadows players like Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant at a young age.
Yashaswi Jaiswal got a chance to debut for Team India after his brilliant performance in the IPL last year. After that, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 498 runs in 16 T20 matches. Jaiswal has scored four fifties and one century in T20 International. During this period, Jaiswal's average was 35 and he scored runs at a strong strike rate of 163.
Rishabh Pant is also left behind
Currently, Yashasvi Jaiswal is ahead of even legendary players like Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant. Rohit Sharma had crossed the 50-run mark twice while playing T20 International at the age of 23. Rishabh Pant also failed to achieve much and scored 50-plus twice in T20 International at the age of 23. Apart from these two players, Tilak Verma is the name who has scored 50 plus twice under the age of 23.
If we talk about Yashshwi Jaiswal, he has confirmed his place in Team India as an opener in T20 International. Jaiswal will be challenged by Shubman Gill in the opening slot. But the way Jaiswal batted in the second game of the series against Afghanistan shows that he has the upper hand at the moment. However, IPL performance will also play a big role in determining the final slot.
