There was a problem in the calling of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli: Mohammad Kaif told whose mistake it was

A crucial moment came in the fourth Test between India and Australia when India lost a crucial wicket due to lack of coordination between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli. Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif believes that 70% of the fault in this run out was Yashasvi Jaiswal, but Kohli also had his role.

How did the run out happen?

On the second day, Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was playing a brilliant 82 runs in 118 balls, and Kohli (36) had a partnership of more than 100 runs. But, due to wrong calling, Jaiswal remained far away from his crease.

• Jaiswal tried to take a quick single, but the ball went straight to the fielder.
• Kohli tried to complete the run, but it was not possible due to lack of coordination.
• As a result, Australia got an important wicket of India.

Kaif analyzed the incident in a video shared on social media platform 'X':

• Jaiswal's mistake:
  • According to Kaif, “Jaiswal had already moved forward to play the ball. He felt that he was at the edge of danger and would reach there by running fast. But he did not pay attention to the fact that the ball was going towards the fielder at a high speed.”
  • He also said that there was no need for such risky singles in a Test match.
• Kohli's mistake:
  • Kaif told that Kohli trusted Jaiswal's call instead of keeping an eye on the fielder. “Virat did not assess the situation correctly. Considering the fielder, the decision should have been taken in time.”
  • However, Kaif believes that Kohli's mistake was limited, and most of the fault was Jaiswal's.

Sunil Gavaskar's opinion

Great batsman Sunil Gavaskar gave a different perspective on this incident.

• “If Kohli was fully committed to the runs, he could have completed it,” he said.
• Gavaskar described Kohli as the best player between the wickets, but this run out cost Jaiswal the wicket.
• After this, Kohli was also out because due to distraction, he played a shot on the ball going outside the off stump.
