In a cricket match, there was a face-off between a 22-year-old Indian batter Yashshvi Jaiswal playing his third Test series and a 42-year-old experienced English bowler on his sixth tour to India with an impressive record of 695 wickets.
Despite the age and experience difference, the young batter fearlessly hit three consecutive deliveries for sixes, making it only the second time in the veteran bowler’s Test career that he was hit for three sixes in one over.
The last time this happened was in 2013 against Australia’s George Bailey. Fueled by the confidence gained from scoring many runs in the series against England, the Indian batter showcased his explosive batting style, hitting a hat-trick of sixes, making the seasoned English bowler, Anderson, seem like an ordinary player.
