Team India's young batting sensation, Yashasvi Jaiswal, has been crowned the ICC Player of the Month for February, showcasing his remarkable talent on the international stage. His outstanding performance during the recent Test series against England earned him this prestigious accolade.
Yashasvi's stellar performance included not one but two double centuries against England, solidifying his position as one of India's most promising cricketing talents. In the second and third tests, he scored a phenomenal 209 runs and an unbeaten 214 runs respectively, showcasing his prowess with the bat.
Not only did Yashasvi amass a staggering 712 runs in the five-match Test series, but he also became India's first batsman to reach 1000 runs in the fewest number of matches, achieving this milestone in just 9 matches. This remarkable feat places him in elite company, standing alongside legendary Australian batsman Don Bradman, who achieved the same feat in just 7 matches.
During his record-breaking innings in the Rajkot Test, Yashasvi smashed 12 sixes, setting a new record for the most sixes by an Indian batsman in a single innings. This outstanding display of power hitting not only delighted fans but also saw him equal the world record set by Wasim Akram.
Expressing his joy upon receiving the ICC Player of the Month Award, Yashasvi shared his excitement, stating, "I am very happy to receive the ICC Award and I hope to get more awards in the future." Reflecting on the England Test series, he added, "I really enjoyed it, the way I played and the way it went, and we won the series 4-1. It has been a great experience with all my teammates."
