After a quick-fire 53 vs. AUS in the 2nd T20I, Jaiswal opens up on Gaikwad's unfortunate runout.

Youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal played an amazing knock against Australia to extend the winning run of India over the visitors in the ongoing five-match bilateral T20I series on Sunday. Half-centuries from openers Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and premier batter Ishan Kishan, followed by a crucial cameo from power-hitter Rinku Singh, and propelled Suryakumar Yadav led Team India to a gigantic total against Australia in the 2nd T20I at the Greenfield International Stadium.

In the first T20I of the Australia series, Southpaw Jaiswal had sold Gaikwad down the river as the duo was involved in a horrible mixup at Visakhapatnam. Recalling the incident after the win of India over Australia in the 2nd T20I, Jaiswal revealed that he had apologised to his opening partner Gaikwad, who recorded a diamond duck in the series opener at Vizag. In the post-match presentation, Jaiswal said, “It was my mistake in the last game, and I said sorry to Rutu bhai. I accepted that it was my mistake. Rutu Bhai is so humble and very caring.”
