Soon after Mumbai completed Uttarakhand’s rout on Thursday, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Suved Parkar, were given a special ovation. As the whole bunch sat in a circle at the Alur Cricket Ground 2, the duo was made to deliver a speech to the group standing on a chair.
As much as the game belonged to Parkar’s phenomenal debut, it was pivotal for Jaiswal. Playing only his second First Class match of the season, the left-handed opening batter translated his prodigious talent into a maiden hundred. No wonder he had a mix of contentment and excitement on his face when asked about his milestone moment.
