Bengaluru: Regarding Test cricket, it is said that do not leave the crease until you have confidence in your shot. If the crease is left then the wicketkeeper will not waste any time in blowing the stump. The latest example of this was seen when India‘s young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal ran to half the pitch to play an aerial shot against New Zealand’s left arm spinner Ajaz Patel, but he failed to understand the ball and the rest of the work was completed by the wicketkeeper. . He returned after gifting his wicket on 35 runs. Actually, it was the first ball of the 18th over. Ajaz Patel tried to bowl the ball in the air in his own style. However, even before the ball could leave his hand, left-handed batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal went ahead to play a big shot. Seeing the batsman becoming aggressive, experienced spinner Ijaz immediately shortened the length of the ball.
Yashasvi could not understand this. He swung the bat in the air with full force, but could not even touch the ball. The rest of the work was completed by wicketkeeper Tom Blundell. By the time Yashasvi returned to the crease, all was lost. Seeing his face everything was understandable.
On the other hand, Rohit Sharma, standing at the non-striking end, was completely disappointed. He understood that Yashasvi had made a mistake. There was complete silence in India’s dressing room and auditorium. Everyone was surprised. He was out after scoring 35 runs in 52 balls with the help of 6 fours. In this way the Indian team got its first blow.
