Shubman Gill, Team India put on high alert; Yashasvi Jaiswal expected to drop more catches: ‘Oh my god. I missed a 100’

Yashasvi Jaiswal currently has two versions. The batter and the fielder. Jaiswal, the batter, can't do a thing wrong. He began the Test series against England with a century at Leeds and followed it with another imperious knock of 87 in the ongoing match at Edgbaston. He has enjoyed an extraordinary start to his Test career, loves batting against England, and averages 100 against them. That he fell 13 short of a century came as a shock because that’s the standard he has set for himself. Yashasvi Jaiswal puts down Ben Duckett on 97 in the 1st Test(AFP) And then, there is Jaiswal, the fielder. Butter-fingered, sloppy and inattentive. At Headingley, Jaiswal put down, not one, not two, but a total of four dropped catches. Be it gully, anywhere inside the circle or in the deep, Jaiswa...

Pujara identifies glaring weakness in Yashasvi Jaiswal’s batting, says England bowlers just have to ‘wait for a mistake’

Veteran Indian batter Cheteshwar Pujara has offered a valuable insight into how bowlers can target the in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal in the early stages of an innings. The 23-year-old opener lit up Edgbaston with a brilliant 87 off 107 balls, laced with 13 boundaries, a knock that stood out even alongside Shubman Gill’s commanding unbeaten century. India's Yashasvi Jaiswal reacts as he walks off the field after losing his wicket on day one of the second Test(AP) Just 13 runs shy of what would’ve been his sixth Test hundred, Jaiswal was undone by a crucial delivery from Chris Woakes. Reflecting on the dismissal, Pujara suggested that bowlers who stick to a consistent good length outside off stump and remain patient are more likely to expose the left-hander’s vulnerability in that chann...

Jaiswal launches firm defence of Shubman Gill after Shastri, Gavaskar’s attack over Bumrah call: ‘He’s very clear’

Jul 03, 2025 09:53 AM IST After the day 1 play, Jaiswal spoke highly of Shubman Gill, saying the newly appointed skipper is clear with his thoughts and the team is confident. Young Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal lavished praise on Shubman Gill for both his batting and captaincy as India regained control at stumps on Day 1 of the Edgbaston Test. Shubman led the team from the front once again and slammed back-to-back centuries in the series as India put up a fight in the second Test after a shaky start. Jaiswal also stood up on the occasion and set up the foundation with his 87-run knock. Gill (114 not out) also shared a crucial 66-run stand with Jaiswal for the third wicket to stabilise the innings after KL Rahul and Karun Nair failed to score big. Yashasvi Jaiswal backed his...

Gambhir slams desk, Bumrah buries face, Gill somehow controls his temper after Jaiswal puts down yet another sitter

India’s sloppy slip-catching woes continued at Headingley as Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped yet another chance off Jasprit Bumrah, this time in the final ball of the 85th over. Positioned at gully, Jaiswal failed to hold on to a regulation chance offered by Harry Brook, who had played a loose dab outside off to a short-of-length delivery. The ball flew at a comfortable height, but Jaiswal couldn’t grab it, adding to a growing list of missed opportunities that have plagued India’s fielding effort throughout this Test.

Yashasvi Jaiswal put through isolated slip-catching session after costly drop robs Jasprit Bumrah of Ollie Pope’s wicket

Yashasvi Jaiswal was seen putting in extra work at the slip cordon ahead of Day 3 of the Headingley Test, engaging in a solitary slip-catching drill session before the players took the field for the game's resumption. The individual effort appeared to be a direct response to the costly drop he shelled on Day 2, a key moment that could have altered the course of England’s innings.

Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant played mind games with England by talking in Hindi: Sachin Tendulkar’s master observation

Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant's centuries have put India in the driver's seat against England in the first Test of the five-match series at Headingley, Leeds. The duo put on 209 runs for the fourth wicket as Gill and Pant piled the misery on the England attack of Ben Stokes, Brydon Carse, Shoaib Bashir, Josh Tongue and Chris Woakes. Both Gill and Jaiswal mixed caution with aggression as they took a calculated approach to take the hosts down.

Karun Nair’s return after 8 years ends in a whimper as Ben Stokes dismisses him for a duck: ‘Dangerous thing to do…’

All eyes were on Karun Nair on how he performs upon his return to the Test playing XI after eight years. However, the right-handed batter disappointed as he was dismissed for a duck on Day 2 of the first Test against England at Headingley, Leeds. The 33-year-old lasted just four balls in the middle as he was sent back to the dressing room by England skipper Ben Stokes.  India vs England, 1st Test: Karun Nair got out for a duck on his return to the playing XI after eight years.

Yashasvi Jaiswal must feel Test cricket is a breeze. Twenty matches, more than 1,900 runs, five centuries, three of them overseas. Not just overseas, but in his first appearance in each of those lands – in the Caribbean (Roseau, 2023), in Australia (Perth, 2024) and now in England (Leeds).

England A vs Indians: Yashasvi Jaiswal a worry with second successive failure in last tour game before Test

The summer of Yashasvi Jaiswal in England is getting colder with every outing. After an erratic 24 and an encouraging 64 in Canterbury, he was sputtery in both outings in Northampton. A nip-backer from Chris Woakes consumed him in the first hit; the away-swinger from the lively George Hill ended his pursuit of adapting to English conditions, which were classically overcast and blustery, on Sunday.Stress-free half-centuries by KL Rahul (51) and Abhimanyu Easwaran (80) salvaged India A, who ended the day on 163/4 after bowling out England Lions for 327, but Jaiswal’s meagre returns would haunt India. The 12-ball stay was torturous, as Hill and Woakes repeatedly tested both his edges. Hill’s straightener had almost nailed him in front, but for the umpire’s reservation about the ball’s height....
