    If Jaiswal Didn't Score A Ton, Siraj Wouldn't Have Runs To Defend: Kaif

    ICC World Test Championship: Former India cricketer Mohammed Kaif has said that alongside Mohammed Siraj, young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal also deserves equal credit for India's thrilling win at The Oval. He pointed out that if Jaiswal hadn't scored a century in the second innings, there wouldn't have been enough runs on the board for Siraj to defend, and India could have ended up on the losing side.

    Jaiswal, who started off with a dominating century at Headingley in the opening Test, ended the series with a gritty 118 in the second innings of the deciding match at The Oval.

    England ended India’s first innings at 224 before being bowled out for 247 and taking a slender 23-run lead. India lost two wickets early in the second innings, then Jaiswal stepped up and stitched a 107-run stand with Akash deep (66), along with a couple of handy partnerships of 40 and 44 with Karun Nair and Ravindra Jadeja, respectively, as India posted 396 in the second innings, setting England a target of 376 for a win.
