England vs India: England were too good when it mattered the most and hence won the game by five wickets to take a 1-0 lead. India had their chances, as captain Shubman Gill mentioned dropped catches hurt them. Young Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is a terrific fielder - was the culprit, as he dropped more than one catch. What happened later was strange as Jaiswal was spotted grooving to some music played at Headingley. In the viral video, Jaiswal was seen placed in the long-on.
The cameras caught Jaiswal dancing and the clip also surfaced on social space. Once fans saw Jaiswal dancing after dropping catches, they found it hard to digest and hence started roasting the opener. Here is how Jaiswal faced the ire.
Jaiswal found some support from veteran India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin. The ace spinner revealed that the Dukes ball is heavier and difficult to adjust to.
England is not the most friendly places for batters but Jaiswal showed class and solid temperament as he came up with the heroics with the bat in the first innings of the Test. Jaiswal hit 101 to put India in a position of strength.
Spotlight would be on Jaiswal in the second Test after his poor fielding effort. He would like to improve his catching in the next few days.
