On the fourth day of the Test, Sarfaraz and Yashasvi put on a 172-run stand and while they were in the middle, they scored at a brisk pace. Jaiswal went on to score his second double hundred, while Sarfaraz notched up another fifty in his Test debut. But it was Sarfaraz’s gesture that stole the show.
