India vs England 2016: 4th Test, day 4 - 5 Talking Points

#2 India has unearthed a true all-rounder in Jayant Yadav

Yadav appears to be the perfect understudy to Ravichandran Ashwin with both bat and ball

Jayant Yadav has undoubtedly been the find of the series with the 26-year-old proving that he is the perfect understudy to Ravichandran Ashwin in the truest sense. Not only is he potent with the ball like his senior colleague, he also the necessary batting technique to be counted upon as a reliable batting option lower down the order.

Having brought up his first half-century in Tests during the Vizag Test, Yadav went one better this time around to bring up a memorable century that helped his skipper Virat Kohli, batting at the other end, and India build a sizeable first-innings lead against England.

Tougher conditions await Yadav in the future no doubt, but by bringing up the highest score by an Indian batting at the No 9 spot in Test cricket, Yadav has ensured that he gets taken seriously with the bat next time he comes out with the pads on and most probably he will see himself batting higher up the order in the near future.
