India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal pulled out a jig while facing England at Headingley, a feat all the more surprising when you consider the scoreline.
It wasn’t a victory dance from the 23-year-old, in fact quite the opposite – his team were beaten by five wickets by England – their second highest chase
That might be bad enough if you re watching it in but it gets worse – Jaiswal played a massive part in England’s heroics before his bold gesture to the home India crowd. The opener had earlier racked up a century during his first innings to help India set a bar of 364, but his performance in the field left plenty to be desired. Jaiswal dropped four catches – the most by an Indian fielder in a Test since records began. His fourth, a golden opportunity to take out Ben Duckett, was particularly egregious, with Mohammed Siraj fashioning the chance to stop him reaching a century.
Duckett botched Siraj’s short delivery and sent it towards Jaiswal who leapt, dived, stuck out both hands, caught the ball – and then dropped it. The camera operators were quick to pick up skipper Shubman Gill in disbelief and Siraj and head coach Gautam Gambhir looking infuriated. But what happened next will have made the dressing room a very unwelcoming place for Jaiswal. With the Headingley crowd chanting ‘You’ve got school in the morning’ to the youngster, he gave them a look, and then whipped out a dance with a smirk on his face.
TWO IN TWO!
Nicked straight to Harry Brook. WHAT A START! 🤯
