In a riveting turn of events in the ongoing five-match series between India and England, India staged a remarkable comeback in the second Test at Visakhapatnam, securing a resounding victory by 106 runs. The five-matches series is currently leveled at 1-1. As the cricketing world eagerly anticipates the third Test set to kick off on February 15 in Rajkot, former England captain Michael Vaughan has issued a stern warning to his compatriots, highlighting the most formidable threat for the English side.

Michael Vaughan pinpoints the principal challenge for England

Speaking on the recent episode of the ‘Club Prairie Fire’ Podcast, Vaughan stressed the crucial need for the English team to stay vigilant and devise effective strategies to counter the threat posed by the prolific Yashasvi Jaiswal in the ongoing Test series.

“I would say he is a problem for England. He is an issue. He is an unbelievable player. I met him in Mumbai and he got a hundred the next day in the IPL.  Now he has gone on to score a double-hundred against the best team in the world,” Vaughan said.

Standout performer in the Anthony de Mello Trophy 2024 so far

Jaiswal has undeniably been the standout performer in the Anthony de Mello Trophy 2024, leading the run charts with a remarkable tally of 321 runs accumulated over four innings. While falling short of a century in the opening Test in Hyderabad with a composed 80, Jaiswal showcased exceptional maturity and resilience in the Vizag Test. His monumental double century in a challenging situation, where wickets were falling consistently, proved to be the pivotal factor that set the two teams apart.

As the series progresses, Jaiswal’s form and his ability to anchor the innings make him a key player and a potential game-changer. Vaughan’s warning underscored the significance of devising a well-thought-out plan to neutralize Jaiswal’s impact early on in the rest of the series.
