Jaiswal hit 6 fours and 2 sixes on his way to fifty. While the Indian opener started his innings in blistering style, he decided to play a second fiddle to Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav who continued from where he left off in the second T20I.
Jaiwal was eventually dismissed on 60 while attempting to go for a big shot off Tamriz Shamsi’s delievery in the 14th over.
