It appeared that Yashasvi Jaiswal had devised a strategy to neutralize Mitchell Starc’s new ball menace. However, only two balls into India’s first innings of the ongoing third Test vs Australia, Starc caught Jaiswal at forward square leg. After India wiped Australia out for 445 early in the morning period on Day 3, Jaiswal performed throw-downs before India’s batting began. He flicked one at the Australian team’s huddle, but it struck the leg of Cricket Australia’s cameraman.
when being dismissed, former England captain Michael Vaughan made a sneaky joke at Jaiswal when the youngster failed to reproduce his throw-down efforts throughout the game. Five minutes before Jaiswal was dismissed, he practiced a whip through midwicket, which is a fantastic stroke with good balance. And then you get into the match, and it’s the identical shot, but he goes aerial, flicking it. “It was the pressure of the game; in practice, it was perfect,” Vaughan was heard saying on air.
Former India head coach Ravi Shastri was also surprised by the dismissal, pointing out how Jaiswal managed to find a single fielder in that zone despite having enough of space to pick out the gap. “Do you think the catch would be there? Shastri observed, “The man right in front of the square, acres of space on the on side, and Jaiswal hits it straight to the fielder.”
Meanwhile, rain delayed play in the third session of Day 3 of the current Test match at The Gabba on Monday, with India behind Australia by 394 runs. On Day 3, the visitors are battling at 51/4, with right-hander KL Rahul (33*) and team captain Rohit Sharma (0*) undefeated at the crease.
The Rohit Sharma-led team resumed the third session at 48/4, behind by 397 runs, with KL Rahul and manager Rohit Sharma unbeaten on 30 (52) and 0 (1), respectively. The rain continued during the third session, washing out most of it. In the third and final session of the day, the Indian team scored in only three overs.
