Yashasvi Jaiswal’s dream run in international cricket continues as the youngster hit 84* runs off 51 deliveries to help the Men in Blue win the fourth T20I against West Indies. Chasing 179 runs, Jaiswal and Shubman Gill gave a perfect start to team India as their partnership of 165 runs sealed the deal.

He got out early in the first T20I but he remained unbeaten till the end and won his team the game in the second match. Player the Match – Yashasvi Jaiswal. He has represented India four times and won Player of the Match twice,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel.
Jaiswal is a future superstar: Chopra
After having a couple of terrific seasons in domestic cricket, Jaiswal proved himself in the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League. Soon after that, he earned his debut India call up and since then, he has proved himself in almost every game.
