Opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal is having a great time in T20Is. Though he scored just 138 runs in the recently-concluded five T20I matches against Australia at an average of 27.60, his strike rate of 168.29 boosts the team’s confidence at the start. He will look to continue in the same fashion by scoring quick and put the opposition out of the game within a span of a few overs.
