Rohit and Shubman show WHO'S THE BOSS after Shoaib Bashir gets ultra-aggressive on young Jaiswal

The fifth Test match between India and England, held in Dharamsala, offered an exciting moment of cricketing action when off-spinner Shoaib Bashir displayed a wide range of emotions after dismissing Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal on the first day. Yashasvi Jaiswal, in fine form, confidently came to his half-century with a flurry of forceful shots, demonstrating his batting skill with each boundary. However, cricket's unpredictable nature came into play when Shoaib Bashir, England's off-spin specialist, bowled a quickly spinning ball that caught Jaiswal off guard and left him stranded outside his crease.

As Jaiswal's attempted shot missed the mark, wicketkeeper Ben Foakes quickly removed the bails, signalling his dismissal. Bashir's reaction was a mix of pride and relief, seen in his eyes despite his seemingly aggressive demeanour, emphasising the gravity of the matter.

Despite the intensity, England's captain and talismanic all-rounder Ben Stokes supported Shoaib Bashir by embracing him from behind in a display of brotherhood, allowing the bowler to restore his calm in the tense atmosphere of the contest.

Jaiswal's exit brought an end to a promising innings in which he shown tremendous talent and commitment, scoring 57 runs off 58 balls. Despite falling short of a century in the match, Jaiswal had a huge effect on the outcome.

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill showed Shoaib Bashir who’s the real boss

A battle of wills was put in motion when Bashir grabbed the ball in the first over and established direct eye contact with Jaiswal. His demeanour radiated anger towards Jaiswal. In the face of this assault, Shoaib Bashir did not waver and did not exhibit any symptoms of weakness. Later in the match, though, Shuban Gill and Rohit Sharma kept up the pressure, hitting him for seven or eight sixes, trying Bashir's willpower to the breaking point. At the high-stakes match between India and England at Dharamsala, where India led by 91 runs after lunch (at the point of writing) and England scored 218 runs in their opening innings, Bashir's figures demonstrate his resilience in the face of difficulty. He gave up 111 runs and claimed one wicket in 23.0 overs at an economy rate of 4.83. With Gill getting 110 runs off 150 balls and Sharma reaching a century (103 runs off 162 balls), these two players made significant contributions to India's domination.
