India’s young batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal topped an elite world list as he surpassed Brendon McCullum to become the player to score most sixes in a calendar year in tests.On Saturday, in the second innings of the first match of Border Gavaskar Trophy at Perth, Jaiswal (still at the crease) dominated the fierce Australian bowling unit. He is currently playing at 89*, which includes 7 boundaries and 2 sixes.The left-handed player was one six short of the former New Zealand captain’s record of 33 sixes in an year after the recently concluded series against the Black Caps. After missing out to impress in the first innings, he hugged his opportunity in the second and slammed to biggies.With the addition of two new sixes, the 22-year-old player’s tally reached 34 sixes in a calendar year, with a chance to take the number even higher.Meanwhile, team India look formidable in the second innings as KL Rahul and Jaiswal remain unbeaten. Riding high on fifties from both the openers, India are currently at 171/0 leading by 217 runs.
