‘Bhai isko World Cup me kyu nahi liya?’ – Yashasvi Jaiswal shines with maiden T20I century in Asian Games 2023 Quarter-Final against Nepal

Yashasvi Jaiswal, the young prodigy from India, lit up the Asian Games 2023 Quarter-Final with a spectacular maiden T20I century against Nepal. The 21-year-old left-handed opener’s performance was nothing short of a masterclass, leaving cricket fans awestruck and earning him accolades from around the world. Jaiswal’s century came off just 48 deliveries which included 8 fours and 7 sixes. 

Facing an inexperienced bowling lineup against Nepal, he showcased his exceptional skills, composure, and maturity beyond his years. His innings was a blend of classical strokes, innovative shot-making, and immense determination. Fans also showered praise on him for his brilliant century, however, there were also some fans who said that the ground was small due to which he smashed the century.

Throughout his innings, Jaiswal displayed a wide array of shots, effortlessly piercing the field and finding the boundaries with ease. His ability to rotate the strike and capitalize on loose deliveries demonstrated his cricketing intelligence. It was a treat to watch the young talent craft his way to three figures in the shortest format of the game.

Yashasvi Jaiswal became the youngest cricketer

The 21-year-old left-hander also became the youngest Indian batter to hit a T20I century and broke the record of Shubman Gill who achieved this feat while he was 23 years of age. It won’t be wrong to say that Jaiswal has a very high calibre to become India’s one of the most destructive opening batters to ever play the game.

Jaiswal’s century not only secured India’s victory in the Quarter-Final but also established him as a rising star in the cricketing world. As the tournament progresses, all eyes will be on Jaiswal to see if he can replicate his brilliance in the upcoming matches. India’s semi-final opponents are yet to be decided, however, the opponents will be either Bangladesh or Malaysia.
