Jaiswal's aggressive batting style was on full display as he reached his century on Day 3 of the Test match. Despite being forced to retire hurt due to exhaustion, he returned on Day 4 to continue his onslaught against the English bowlers.
The 22-year-old left-hander unleashed a flurry of attacking shots, particularly targeting Anderson, against whom he hit four of his 10 sixes.
