Had to leave 4 catches in the slip, Yashasvi Jaiswal was removed before the second match! Gambhir changed strategy
Yashasvi jaiswal fielding: In the first Test match played between India and England in Leeds, Team India suffered a shocking defeat by 5 wickets. However, in the batting, the team performed brilliantly where Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul and Shubman Gill scored centuries and Rishabh Pant scored history by scoring a century in both innings. At the same time, bowling and fielding turned all the hard work.
Especially Yashasvi Jaiswal’s fielding proved to be the biggest weak link of the first Test. Yashasvi, posted in the slip, dripped a total of four catches, many of which came in the decisive moments of the match. After this, the team management has decided to remove them from slip cordon.
New faces will be seen in slip
Gautam Gambhir -led Think Tank has now started changing the fielding setup. According to the report of Revspports, Sai Sudarshan, Karun Nair, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Shubman Gill were part of the slip cordon in Monday’s training session.
During this time Sai Sudarshan and Reddy were seen fielding in turn in the role of the fourth slip and street, while Karun Nair was seen practicing in the first slip. KL Rahul and Shubman Gill took their positions in the second and third slip.
Jaiswal’s confidence in questions, hand injury also became a reason
Players like Yashasvi and Ravindra Jadeja are usually considered a safe hand, but in this match, both of them missed important opportunities. The report also stated that there was no technical lack in Yashasvi’s catching, but rather than expected to catch the catch due to lack of confidence and possibly hand injury. On the other hand, former Indian player Mohammad Kaif defended Jaiswal, saying that he was playing with a bandage in his hand, and his grip may have been affected due to injury.
