During the day, they put together an unbeaten 172 off 158 balls. While the left-hander, Jaiswal, who came out to bat after being retired hurt at the end of Day Three, notched his second double hundred in Tests.
On the other hand, Khan, who made his debut in the game, scored his second half-century of the game. Meanwhile, they were playing to collect the most runs in less time before the declaration. During this, the left-hander was only one run away from his double hundred. At the time, he was heard talking about his efforts while he was being comforted by Mumbai teammate, Khan.

Yashasvi Jaiswal was adjudged Player of the Match
Meanwhile, after amassing 430/4, the Indian team declared and asked the Three Lions to chase an improbable score of 557 runs. Till the end of Day Four, the European side was bowled out for 122, losing the game by 434 runs. This is India’s biggest win in Tests. Meanwhile, after the game, Jaiswal was adjudged Player of the Match.
“I’m just trying… whenever I’m set, to make it big. Because in Test cricket you never know, when you’re playing well you have to make it big. [Different phases of this double century] It was pretty difficult for me because initially I wasn’t getting runs. So had to play the session, and get set. That’s when I felt I could score runs. After a while my back was not good. I didn’t want to go out [of the field] but since it was too much, I went out. Today when I came, I wanted to make sure that I take the game forward and bat till the end,” Jaiswal said in the post-match.
