Yashasvi Jaiswal Opens Up On Run-Out Mix-Up With Shubman Gill

While speaking after the end of the day's play, Yashasvi Jaiswal opened up on the incident that occurred with Shubman Gill, saying that it is a part of the game and it's fine.

The 23-year-old youngster added that he always tries to be in the game to achieve the team's goal.

"It's (his run-out) part of the game, so it's fine. There is always a thought that what I can achieve and what can be my goal and my team's goal, I just try and be in the game and make sure if I'm in, I should take it long. I was trying to get in, so there was a bit of movement, but when I was in the middle, I was thinking that maybe I'll bat for one hour and then it will be easy for me to score," Jaiswal said as quoted by Cricbuzz.

Yashasvi Jaiswal made his Test debut in 2023 against the West Indies. Since then, the Indian opener has played 25 Tests and 47 innings, scoring 2245 runs at an average of 49.89 and a strike rate of 66.23.
