Yashasvi Jasiwal's Fiery Ton Prompts Bizarre "We Should Take Some Credit" Remark From England Star

England's Ben Duckett on Saturday called India's Yashasvi Jaiswal a "superstar in the making" but said his side deserves credit for inspiring players in the opposition camp to bat aggressively in Test cricket. Jaiswal dished out his own version of England's much talked-about 'Bazball' approach of run-making in Test cricket, cracking nine fours and five sixes in his 133-ball 104 before retiring hurt due to back spasms. The Indian opener shifted gears all of a sudden in the final session. Having reached 35 off 73 balls, he peppered the field with powerful strokes to bring up his second century of the series and third overall in his career.

Watch: Shubman Gill Misses Century, Run-Out On 91 After Horrible Mix-Up With Kuldeep Yadav

India batter Shubman Gill looked destined to reach his 4th Test century when a terrible mix-up with Kuldeep Yadav cost him his wicket. With India nearing a 400-run lead against England on Day 4 of the third Test in Rajkot, Gill remained central to the hosts' plan.
