Dipendra Singh Airee: Riding on Yashasvi Jaiswal's 49-ball century followed by a scintillating bowling display from Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi, India beat Nepal by 23 runs to enter the semifinal, at the 19th Asian Games, here on Tuesday.
Yashasvi smashed 100 off 49 balls, his maiden century in T20Is, and became the youngest Indian to score a T20I ton 21 years and 279 days, surpassing the previous record held by Shubman Gill, who had scored a century against New Zealand at the age of 23 years and 146 days.
India won the toss and chose to bat, with Yashasvi showcasing an exceptional performance during the powerplay. He aggressively took on the bowlers from the very beginning and forged a century-opening stand with skipper skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad.
