Rohit Sharma reprimanded him on the middle ground
Indian star opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka with Team India. Meanwhile, he shared some photos of himself practicing on Instagram. Along with these photos, he wrote in the caption, “Because a legend said, I won’t get up until I play.”
This incident occurred during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Steve Smith was at the striker’s end, and Yashasvi Jaiswal was fielding at silly point, wearing a helmet. Usually, the silly point fielder leans forward to take the catch. However, on this occasion, Jaiswal was already in position to get up before Smith’s shot was even completed.
