The cricket world is abuzz with admiration for Yashasvi Jaiswal after his incredible double century performance in the recent India versus England Test match in Rajkot. The left-handed opener’s stunning knock of 214 runs off just 236 balls, which included a record-breaking 12 sixes, has left fans and experts in awe.
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s unprecedented success
Jaiswal’s journey to prominence has been nothing short of remarkable. His back-to-back double centuries have solidified his position as one of India’s most promising young talents. His ability to dominate the bowlers, including hitting three consecutive sixes off James Anderson, has garnered widespread acclaim.
Praise from peers
Among those impressed by Jaiswal’s performance is his IPL teammate, Jos Buttler. The England T20I skipper, who plays alongside Jaiswal for the Rajasthan Royals, took to Instagram to express his admiration for the young cricketer. Buttler, while playfully lamenting that Jaiswal chose to shine against England, couldn’t help but praise his talent, hunger, and work ethic.
“Shame he’s doing it against England but v(very) hard not be so happy for @yashasvijaiswal28. Getting everything he deserves from his talent, hunger and work ethic. WHAT A STAR!” Buttler in his Instagram story.

Buttler’s words reflected the respect and camaraderie shared between teammates, even when they find themselves on opposing sides on the international stage.
Looking Forward to IPL 2024
Despite Jaiswal’s heroics against England, Buttler must be eagerly anticipating the opportunity to share the field with him once again during the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Both players will don the Rajasthan’s jersey, aiming to replicate their success on the IPL stage and put an end to the trophy drought that has persisted since their title win in the IPL’s inaugural season.
