Yashasvi Jaiswal leaves Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in awe

After being given the target of 173, Team India started the run-chase on a fearless note, with Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring a boundary on the first ball. The first over brought an end to Indian skipper Rohit Sharma's innings too. However, Jaiswal did not fall back, and with Virat Kohli, put on a blazing 57-run stand. Jaiswal kept going even after Kohli's departure, and with fellow left-hander Shivam Dube, he constructed a match-winning partnership. It was fours and sixes all around, and in his innings, Yashasvi scored five 4s and six gigantic 6s.

While all of his strikes brought the crowd to its feet, one enormous blow even left Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in awe. This was what their reaction was to that pelter.
