Talking about Jaiswal, the young opener has had an underwhelming series in England. Although he kicked off the tour with a bang, amassing a glorious century in his very first innings of the series, he failed to sustain the momentum, falling prey to the English pacers on seam-friendly surfaces. With one innings to go, Jaiswal has 293 runs across nine innings, averaging just over 32 in the series.
