Exclusive: I told Yuzvendra Chahal that I want to be the world's best all-rounder, says Yashasvi Jaiswal after twin centuries in Ranji Trophy SF
At the other end, Yashasvi was leaving every outside off delivery with ease without replying to the sledges from the Uttar Pradesh bowlers and fielders. Watching Yashasvi going into the 'Pujara and Dravid mode' frustrated the UP bowlers. The left-hander got off the mark off the 54th delivery he faced when he guided Ankit Rajpoot towards square leg for a boundary. He was applauded by his teammates in the dressing room and he smiled and raised his bat. Yashasvi had a plan to stay in the middle for as long as possible and put valuable runs for the team on the board in the crucial clash. And the 20-year-old did it in style, plundering 181 runs off 372 balls, including 23 boundaries and 1 six. This also meant back to back centuries in both innings for Yashasvi. The Mumbai batsman became the ninth Mumbai batsman to score a century in both innings for Mumbai in a Ranji Trophy match. Yashasvi, who scored 100 in the first innings and 181 in the second, joined an elite Mumbai cricket list which has the likes of Vinod Kambli, Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane and Wasim Jaffer on it.
