James Anderson “Treated With Such Disdain”: England Great’s Straight Talk On Yashasvi Jaiswal Show | Cricket News

Former England captain Michael Atherton reserved enormous reward for Yashasvi Jaiswal after the younger India batter scored his second double century in as many video games towards the guests. Jaiswal leads the run-scoring charts with 545 runs in three matches, having smashed 209 and 214 runs within the second and third Test respectively. In the not too long ago concluded third Test, Jaiswal took the cost towards England nice James Anderson, carting three consecutive sixes of him on Day 4.

The first six of the three from Jaiswal’s bat got here on the leg-side after Anderson bowled a full-toss on the pads. For the subsequent supply, Jaiswal stepped down the pitch and smashed the ball over the top of the duvet fielder.

On the third occasion, Jaiswal took a step again and smashed Anderson down the bottom for a shocking six.

On Jaiswal humiliating Anderson, Atherton pointed that the legendary pacer has been hardly ever “treated with such disdain”.

“Fantastic young player. Haven’t seen much of him in Test match cricket. England fans didn’t see much of him before the series but now they’ve seen enough to know that he’s a special young talent. Very hungry for runs. All three of his hundreds are over 150 – two of them doubles. He smacks the ball a long way; a powerfully built lad. He’s a modern T20 player who’s adapting to Test cricket and has the technique to do it,” Atherton stated on Sky Sports.

Atherton urged Ben Stokes and co. to divise a plan to get Jaiswal out as early as attainable, else it might get even worse for the guests within the remaining matches.

“When he gets in, he has all the shots. Jimmy Anderson is rarely treated with such disdain like he was this afternoon when he got taken for those three consecutive sixes. So he’s a very dangerous player and England need to work out a way to get him early if they can.”

Jaiswal, who had retired harm after scoring a century on Day 3, returned to the pitch on Sunday, racing his option to 150 and 200 very quickly.

India received the third Test by a document 434-run margin to go 2-1 up within the sequence.

The fourth Test begins Friday, February 23 in Ranchi, whereas the fifth and remaining Test might be performed from March 7-11 on the picture-esque HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala.
