The Bengaluru Test has not proved to be good for Team India's young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is making his mark in international cricket. He failed to score big in both the innings of the match. Nevertheless, Friday 18th October was a good day for Yashasvi and his family because after the younger one, the elder brother also started his career. Yashasvi's elder brother Tejashwi made his debut in first class cricket in the second round league match of Ranji Trophy season which started from Friday. Although, unlike Yashasvi, Tejashwi started his career playing for Tripura instead of Mumbai, but his start was also not good.
The Elite Group A match between Meghalaya and Tripura started in Shillong on Friday. Before this match, 27 year old Tejashwi was given his debut cap. This cap was given to him by former Chandigarh captain Mandeep Singh, who is now the captain of Tripura. Yashasvi expressed happiness over his brother's achievement by sharing its video on his social media account. This match was also special for Mandeep because it was the 100th match of his first class career. Although the very first day of the match was badly affected due to rain and only 7.2 overs could be played, but a lot could be seen in that portion.

Tripura, who came to bat first, had scored 29 runs after losing 2 wickets, when rain stopped the game. In this part, the batting of Tejashwi Jaiswal came, who came to the crease after the fall of the first wicket. Like his younger brother Yashasvi, Tejashwi is also a left-handed batsman and after seeing him bat, it is natural to get confused as to whether he is Yashasvi himself. Like his brother, Tejashwi also showed his attitude by entering the crease. As soon as he came, Tejashwi expressed his intentions by hitting 3 fours but soon his heart broke. He was out LBW after failing to play a ball.
Tejashwi scored 13 runs in just 6 balls. Although he got out early in this innings, he also showed that like his younger brother, he is also a strong batsman. In such a situation, eyes will be on him again in the second innings. The special thing is that Tejashwi also bowls medium pace with his right hand and can prove to be a good all-rounder. Overall, the next few days are going to be very special for the Jaiswal family because they will get to see both their sons bat at the same time and will hope that both of them achieve success.
