Yashasvi Jaiswal continues to be India’s poster boy. The young southpaw has risen 3 spots to reach 12th spot in the ICC Men’s Test Team Rankings. Previously he was ranked 15th on the list, but after India’s win in the IND vs ENG Ranchi Test, the youngster has further gained 3 more spots in the rankings table.
The 22-year old batter has been in subline touch in the ongoing series. He has managed to score a massive 655 runs in just 4 matches. These include two double centuries and two fifty plus scores. India can largely bank on Yashasvi Jaiswal’s performance for their home series win against England.
