Perth Test: The Yashasvi Jaiswal way – functional, personal, and occasionally artistic | Cricket News

Perth Test: The Yashasvi Jaiswal way – functional, personal, and occasionally artistic | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s batting is firstly functional; secondly personal; and lastly, occasionally artistic. Australia saw all three traits during his unbeaten 90 that propelled India to a position of immense strength in the first Test at Perth. First, he controlled his urges to reach 50 in the slowest time he has done in Tests (123 balls) as his goal then was purely functional: to wear down the bowlers and get to a point where the ball goes soft. Then, he made it personal, as he often does when facing bowlers with big reputations – be it James Anderson in the India series or now Mitchell Starc and Co. in Australia. At one point, Starc was staring him down, but a little rewind is needed here. When Starc was batting in the morning, he had bantered with his IPL friend Harshit Rana, who had just bounced him, “I am going to bowl faster. I have a long memory”. Flash forward to that stare from Starc the bowler now. And Jaiswal went, “It’s coming too slow!”. Against Anderson, …

Published by Webster

On January 3, the Supreme Court (SC) disposed of four writ petitions filed in the wake of two reports (by Hindenburg Research and Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project) that raised multiple allegations against the Adani group of companies. Following the judgment, a statement was issued on behalf of the Adani group, claiming that its position has been vindicated. Whether this is an accurate claim is a matter for another day. However, while answering the questions raised in the writ petitions, the judgment has given rise to a few other issues that need to be discussed. PREMIUM The contentions in the petitions centred around the alleged dilatoriness and the absence of competence of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to deal with the issues that the research reports had raised.
