IND vs WI 2nd Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal’s polite reply to Brian Lara’s humble plea wins internet

India’s Test skipper Shubman Gill and opening southpaw batter Yashasvi Jaiswal are creating waves with record-breaking performances. In the second Test against West Indies in Delhi, both players achieved milestones that etched their names in the record books.&nbsp;Shubman Gill scored his fifth Test century of 2025, the most by any player in the year they first started captaining their nation. This also equalled the Indian record for most Test hundreds as a captain in a calendar year, previously held by Virat Kohli. Gill reached five hundreds in just 12 innings as captain, with only Alastair Cook (nine innings) and Sunil Gavaskar (10 innings) achieving it faster. In terms of matches, Gill reached this mark in seven Tests, the same as Don Bradman. His average as captain is 84.81, second only to Bradman among players who have captained at least seven times in Tests.&nbsp;Also read |<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/from-delhi-to-perth-yashasvi-jaiswal-s-top-five-test-knocks-for-india-jaiswal-ind-vs-wi-delhi-test-1760167874510"> From Delhi to Perth: Yashasvi Jaiswal’s top five Test knocks for India</a><h2>Jaiswal among stalwarts</h2>On the other hand, Yashasvi Jaiswal is proving why he’s one of India’s brightest young stars.

Yashasvi Jaiswal opens up on Asia Cup 2025 snub, says 'I’ll keep working on myself'

Indian cricket’s youth squad received a major boost this week as Wisden unveiled its list of the 40 best players under the age of 25, with opener Yashasvi Jaiswal claiming the number one spot. The recognition is a testament to Jaiswal’s meteoric rise in international cricket and a signal of India’s growing reservoir of young talent. Jaiswal’s story continues to inspire.

Asia Cup 2025: Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal in contention for India call-up - Report

Just bowling well is not enough sometimes to pick up a wicket, as teams even use different tactics to get under a batter’s skin. During the ongoing Oval Test between India and England, something similar unfolded early on day four, which eventually favoured the touring Indian Team. The instance involved England opener Ben Duckett and his counterpart Yashasvi Jaiswal. At a time when Mohammed Siraj was turning heads with his brilliant spell with the conditions also assisting him throughout, Jaiswal tried irking Duckett with some comments, which eventually worked wonders for India, as Siraj’s fellow seamer Prasidh Krishna made the most of it, dismissing him soon after.&nbsp;Unlike how the English openers attacked the Indian quicks in the first innings, they deployed a cautious approach during the run chase. Though both openers controlled the innings late on day three, Siraj dismissing Zak Crawley on the last ball of the day broke their stand.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/from-shubman-gill-to-kl-rahul-top-five-indian-run-scorers-in-andersontendulkar-trophy-1754203786260">In Pics | From Shubman Gill to KL Rahul: Top five Indian run-scorers in Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy</a> &nbsp;Batting alongside his stand-in captain for this game, Ollie Pope, Duckett took his time before chasing Siraj’s seaming off cutters, only for Jaiswal to hamper his concentration with a few words. Midway into an over in the first session, Jaiswal tried getting under Duckett’s skin, with the stump mic recording the whole conversation. &nbsp;Walking closer to Duckett, Jaiswal said, “Come on, I want to see your shots. Play the sweep, reverse sweep. This is not your game,” to which the English opener replied, ‘Why should I listen to you?' &nbsp;Watch Video -&nbsp;

That conversation, however, seemed to have irked Duckett, who later played a wrong line to edge off Krishna to the second slip, with KL Rahul completing the catch on 54. &nbsp;Siraj, on the other hand, removed Pope trapped in front of the wickets for the second time in this match, sending two of England’s top orders back in the hut.<h3>Game evenly poised at the Oval&nbsp;</h3>With five sessions and seven wickets remaining, England need another 210 runs to win the fifth Test and take the series home.

On a day when 15 wickets tumbled, India inched ahead of England by 52 runs, reaching 75/2 at stumps in their second innings of the final Test of the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy on Friday (August 1).

Sai Sudharsan made the opportunity count in his comeback game with a fifty while Rishabh Pant suffered another injury as India played the old-fashioned way to reach 264 for four at stumps on day one of the fourth Test on Wednesday (July 23). At stumps, Ravindra Jadeja (19 batting off 37) and Shardul Thakur (19 batting off 36) were holding fort in fading light.&nbsp;Put in to bat in overcast conditions, Indian openers KL Rahul (46 off 98 balls) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (58 off 107) put on 94 runs for their highest stand of the series before Sudharsan (61 off 151) produced a dogged knock under pressure to justify his selection over Karun Nair.&nbsp;Batting alongside Sudharsan, Pant (37 retired hurt off 48) had just started flexing his muscles before missing a reverse hit off a full ball from Chris Woakes. The impact of the ball was on Pant’s right foot, causing him significant pain, and he had to be taken off the field in a golf cart.&nbsp;There were also blood stains on his foot, unsettling the Indian fans and the dressing room. Pant had entered this must-win game after recovering from a finger injury suffered while keeping during the Lord’s Test. The sun stayed away for most of the day, but the slow nature of the pitch gave the batters enough time to handle the extra pace of Jofra Archer. While Sudharsan was at the crease, he looked comfortable and had luck on his side, having been dropped down the leg side on 20 by keeper Jamie Smith off Ben Stokes.&nbsp;He capitalised on that luck to play a couple of pull shots off Archer before executing a crisp back foot punch off Stokes. The England captain kept dragging an occasional ball down the leg side in his attempt to induce an edge off Sudharsan’s bat before resorting to short balls. Sudharsan was up to the task until he pulled one straight into the hands of Brydon Carse at fine leg.&nbsp;The young Indian batter was watchful at the start of the innings, scoring only off balls pitched on middle and leg. He flicked Archer for his first four before cover driving Liam Dawson. Until his injury, Pant played his usual way, successfully sweeping Archer before dispatching Carse for a six down the ground. In the afternoon session, England removed a well-set Rahul and Jaiswal before sending back Shubman Gill to leave India at 149 for three at tea.&nbsp;Having failed to take a wicket in the morning session, England broke through shortly after lunch with Woakes finally rewarded for relentlessly bowling in the off-stump channel. He had Rahul caught at third slip with a ball that seamed away from length. The second wicket of the session came via left-arm spinner Dawson, who took just seven balls to strike in his first Test in eight years. Jaiswal played for the spin, but the ball did not turn that much, taking a thick outside edge on its way to first slip.&nbsp;India captain Gill (12) did not last long as he misjudged an incoming ball from Stokes, not offering a shot, trapping him in front. In the morning session, Jaiswal survived a probing spell from Woakes while Rahul looked solid as ever to steer India to 78 for no loss at lunch. No team opting to bowl first has ever won at Old Trafford, but Stokes ignored that statistic on an overcast morning.&nbsp;The ball did seam around, but the lack of pace allowed the Indian openers to play the pull shot with relative ease. Gill thought it was a good toss to lose, and that seems to be the case considering the dry and slow nature of the surface. Woakes made it most difficult for the batters, especially Jaiswal, who was beaten on a number of occasions by the England pacer.&nbsp;In the first over of the match bowled by Woakes, two edges off Jaiswal’s bat did not carry, indicating there wasn’t enough carry off the pitch. In his eight-over spell, Woakes was pulled twice with Rahul and Jaiswal dispatching him in front of the square. A streaky drive from Rahul off Woakes brought up the Indian opener’s 1000 runs in England, a testament to his stellar work at the top of the order even in this series.&nbsp;Jaiswal, who was dismissed by Archer twice at Lord’s, made a conscious effort to leave balls. The southpaw was also forced to change his bat when a ball from Woakes seamed back sharply from around the wicket, hitting high on his bat and breaking the handle. The openers somehow managed to survive the first hour of play, taking India to 42 for no loss in 14 overs. Despite backing Nair on the eve of the game, Gill dropped the number three batter for Sudharsan. The other two were forced changes with uncapped Anshul Kamboj and Shardul Thakur replacing the injured Akash Deep and Nitish Reddy respectively.

The duo has added 285 runs in seven innings batted together and went past fifty three times so far. The pair added 94 runs on day 1 (Jul 23) of the fourth Test in Manchester - the highest for them in the series and the highest opening partnership at the venue since India got independence in 1947 from Britishers. There are only two partnerships better than Rahul-Jaiswal's 94 for the first wicket at Old Trafford - 203 and 124 - both by Vijay Merchant &amp; Syed Mushtaq Ali in 1936 and 1946, respectively.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/eng-vs-ind-ben-stokes-wins-toss-and-elects-to-bowl-in-old-trafford-manchester-will-england-lose-test-history-suggests-1753265642397">Stokes wins toss, elects to bowl in Manchester - Will ENG lose?

IND vs ENG: Smith, Brook revive England but India still ahead at Edgbaston

A lot of drama ensued in dying moments of day 3 (Jul 4) of the second Test between India and England at Edgbaston over a DRS call taken by India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. The southpaw was given LBW just after India crossed fifty-run mark in the second innings and had a long chat with partner KL Rahul before opting to review. &nbsp;England skipper Ben Stokes, however, wasn't amused as he ran to on-field umpires to complain that the DRS was taken after stipulated time limit of 15 seconds. The umpires denied request but Jaiswal was out upon review and had to go back. Jaiswal scored 28 runs before being dismissed and had added 51 runs for the opening wicket with Rahul to take India's lead past 200.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-eng-brook-smith-rewrite-records-with-303-run-6th-wicket-test-partnership-at-edgbaston-1751643852879">IND vs ENG: Brook, Smith rewrite records with 303-run 6th wicket Test partnership at Edgbaston</a><h2>WATCH THE WICKET BELOW:</h2>

<h2>How much time is allowed to take DRS call?</h2>As per the ICC's rules, a batter has 15 seconds to challenge the on-field umpire's decision of out and take a review. Similarly, the fielding side also gets 15 seconds to challenge the on-field umpire's not out call against the batter.<h2>What happens after taking DRS call?</h2>After a batter or the fielding side takes DRS call, the on-field umpire sends the decision to get reviewed by the third umpire. The third umpire then checks the validity of the decision including if the delivery was a no-ball and conveys the decision to on-field umpire who then gives the signal on ground.<h2>How many times DRS can be taken in an innings?</h2>Each team, batting or bowling, can take DRS three times in an innings. In case the DRS call goes in favour of the team or the on-field umpire's call stays then they retain the review else the review is lost.<h2>What is umpire's call?</h2>The umpire's call is on-field umpire's decision about a potential out or not out decision. For eg, if a batter is given LBW out by the on-field umpire and decides to review it then the on-field umpire's decision (out or not) stays in case of impact of ball on the off stump or ball hitting the wickets - even if marginally.

Jaiswal was given LBW just after India crossed fifty-run mark in the second innings and had a long chat with partner KL Rahul before opting to review. Ben Stokes, however, wasn't amused as he ran to on-field umpires to complain that the DRS was taken after stipulated time limit of 15 seconds.

IND vs ENG: Yashasvi Jaiswal is now first Indian opener to achieve THIS milestone with fifty in second Test vs England

Yashasvi Jaiswal is a name that holds promise. The kind of promise that can alter a match with the bat, dominate a session, and sow dreams of future greatness. But recently, Jaiswal has been in the news for reasons that have nothing to do with his batting. In the first Test against England at Headingley, he dropped four catches—a worrying number at the top level, compounded by the fact that all but one were at slip, a specialist role which India has long had trouble filling adequately.&nbsp;By day 3, the jeers from the English crowd had turned into chants. A video of Jaiswal dancing after another dropped catch went viral. Some thought it was playful defiance. Others saw a player rattled by pressure, attempting to wear a mask of confidence while things unraveled around him. What should have been another chapter in his rise has instead become a talking point for all the wrong reasons: Why is India’s brightest young batting prospect fielding in one of the game’s most demanding positions?&nbsp;The problem is not merely perception—it's trend. Jaiswal has been consistently losing opportunities throughout the recent Tests. Though precise fielding statistics in Indian cricket continue to be hazy, video and broadcast evidence imply his slip catching effectiveness is far below the world average of around 50%. India's greatest, Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli, and Ajinkya Rahane, on the other hand, have ranged from 80–90% during their peak.<h2>Ashwin defends Yashasvi Jaiswal</h2>Jaiswal, crucially, isn’t a natural slip fielder. In his domestic and youth career, he was standing mostly in the deep or mid-on/off, where anticipation and running are key. But the slip cordon? That’s a different world. It requires soft hands, precise balance, keen reading of the game, and most importantly, familiarity. The ability to instinctively move with the bowler’s rhythm and respond in milliseconds isn’t built overnight.&nbsp;Ravichandran Ashwin defended Jaiswal after the match. He said, “You can’t lob your hands at the ball in slips. It’s not a catching drill at mid-off. It’s all about reaction and technique. Cut him some slack—he’ll learn.” His point was both empathetic and insightful. But it also raised a question: why is someone who is still learning the basics of slip fielding being asked to do it at the highest level, under overcast skies, with the ball swinging?

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">Remember when Jaiswal dropped 3 catches at MCG and we lost the BGT 2024-25. Today again, he dropped 5 easy catches vs England and gave away 250+ runs. Batters score, bowlers are doing well ,and one guy keeps ruining everything.

The answer might lie in transition. With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma taking retirement from Test cricket, India’s slip cordon is unsettled. Where once you had a trusted trio—Rohit at first, Kohli at second, Rahane or Gill at third—you now have a revolving door of personnel, and Jaiswal has become one of the placeholders. This isn't just unfair to him—it’s dangerous. Slips work on chemistry as much as technique. Trust builds over time. Instincts sharpen with shared experience.&nbsp;The dropped chances at Headingley weren’t identical, but they had common traits: Jaiswal was often flat-footed, stiff in the hands, upright in posture, and delayed in reaction. On at least two occasions, he reached for the ball instead of letting it come to him. These are fixable issues—but not in the middle of a high-pressure Test match.The added layer to this saga is the crowd reaction. The Headingley fans mocked him mercilessly after his fourth drop. Jaiswal’s response—a smile, a shrug, a dance—was perhaps his way of staying unfazed. But for many, it signalled the opposite: a player under siege, unsure whether to hide or double down. In a different setting, his defiance might have been endearing. In this one, it bordered on misplaced.<h2>Should Yashasvi Jaiswal field at slip?</h2>This has sparked a wave of commentary about how fielding positions are assigned in the current Indian setup. Some fans on social media argue that under Rohit Sharma, this wouldn’t have happened. Rohit, known for his attention to field placements and trusted cordon, might have eased Jaiswal in more gradually. He’s shown in the past how to mould young players without overwhelming them. In contrast, India’s current team—led by young, in-transition captains—seems to be improvising.&nbsp;Ashwin’s defence of Jaiswal is valid. Jaiswal is 22. He’s playing away from home, in conditions that punish mistakes and magnify inexperience. But the question remains: should he have been placed there in the first place? When Jasprit Bumrah bowls a peach and finds the edge, India cannot afford to rely on a fielder still adjusting to the role.&nbsp;The solution isn’t to scapegoat Jaiswal. He’s too good a player, and his temperament with the bat suggests he will grow into a complete cricketer in time. But the fielding setup must be more deliberate. Jaiswal should be shifted out of the cordon—at least for now—while a more natural catcher steps in. He needs structured drills, time to learn from past masters, and most of all, a defined plan for improvement.&nbsp;In Test cricket, especially overseas, catches win matches. They turn sessions. They flip momentum. Jaiswal’s missteps are a symptom of a deeper issue: a lack of continuity and preparation in the slip cordon. If India is serious about building the next great red-ball side, that cannot continue. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s hands are golden when gripping the bat. But in the slips, they’ve become a liability India can’t afford. Not yet. Not like this. Not when Tests are decided by the narrowest of margins.

He said, “You can’t lob your hands at the ball in slips. It’s not a catching drill at mid-off. It’s all about reaction and technique. Cut him some slack—he’ll learn.” His point was both empathetic and insightful. But it also raised a question: why is someone who is still learning the basics of slip fielding being asked to do it at the highest level, under overcast skies, with the ball swinging?

Jaiswal put three chances down – one each of Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Harry Brook

India are having a record-breaking Test at Headingley in Leeds against England with KL Rahul joining the list as well. Rahul (120 at tea on day 4), playing as an opener, has scored a century in the second innings to go with Yashasvi Jaiswal's ton (101) in the first innings. This is only the second instance for India in Tests in England with both openers scoring at least one century in the same match. It was in 1936 Manchester Test when both Indian openers Vijay Hazare (114 in second innings) and Syed Mushtaq Ali (112 in second innings) scored a ton in the same Test in England.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-eng-1st-test-pant-follows-bumrahs-footsteps-breaks-29-year-old-pakistan-record-in-sena-countries-1750686480497">IND vs ENG: Pant breaks 29-year-old Pakistan record in SENA countries</a>With his century in the first innings, Jaiswal had become the first Indian opener ever to score a ton at Headingley in Leeds.

IND vs ENG, 1st Test: Gill's India take Bazball head-on to usher in new Test era

Yashasvi Jaiswal has done what no other Indian opening batter has been able to achieve when playing a Test against England at Hedingley, Leeds. The 23-year-old southpaw scored a hundred on day 1 (June 20) of the first Test against England - the first by an Indian opener in Tests at the venue. Before Jaiswal's ton, it was Farookh Engineer's 87 in 1967 as highest score by an Indian opening batter at Headingley in Tests against England. India were 215/2 by teas thanks to his century with skipper Shubman Gill staying unbeaten past fifty in his first Test as India skipper - a dream start definitely.

The partnership ended when Rahul chased a wide full ball only to be caught at the slips off Brydon Carse. The duo, however, added 91 runs - the highest opening partnership for India at Headingley.Earlier, India handed a Test debut to Sai Sudharsan after a bumper season in IPL 2025 where he ended with Orange Cap for most runs in the tournament while playing for Gujarat Titans.
