Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Weakness Exposed: Ahead of the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has been exposed. He also failed in the warm-up match against Sri Lanka Cricket XI. He was dismissed off just two balls without scoring. Jaiswal’s poor form has increased Team India’s tension. Surprisingly, Jaiswal was once again dismissed by a left-arm fast bowler. Left-arm fast bowlers have dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal several times before. Jaiswal has yet to find a solution to this weakness.
How did Jaiswal get out?
Sri Lanka Cricket XI had scored 363 runs for the loss of eight wickets in the first innings and declared. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul then came out to open the innings for Team India. Sri Lankan left-arm pacer Vishwa Fernando dismissed Jaiswal in just two balls. Fernando bowled the second ball well outside off stump, and Jaiswal, without footwork, swung his bat and gave an easy catch straight to the fielder.
Dismissals following a similar pattern
Yashasvi Jaiswal is one of the most important players in the Indian team’s Test cricket. He has emerged as a reliable opener for Team India over the past few years. However, left-arm fast bowlers remain his weakness. Yashasvi Jaiswal has been dismissed nine times by left-arm fast bowlers so far.
Of these, three dismissals came during the home series against South Africa in the last season of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC). South African left-arm pacer Marco Jansen troubled Jaiswal a lot. Apart from him, Australian legend Mitchell Starc and South Africa’s Nandre Burger have also dismissed Jaiswal several times in Test cricket.
Jaiswal’s poor form continues
Young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has dominated Test cricket, has been struggling in this format for some time. Jaiswal has scored only one half-century in his last five Test innings. Now, he also flopped badly in the warm-up match against Sri Lanka.
