Former India cricketer Sanjay Bangar believes Yashasvi Jaiswal’s dismissal in the ongoing fifth Test against England was the result of the left-handed opener missing a straight delivery while covering his off-stump.
Jaiswal began the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series with an impactful century at Headingley. But he is now on the verge of ending a series on a low note after being trapped lbw for just two by a full wobble-seam delivery from pacer Gus Atkinson at The Oval.
“Generally, the sense is that when bowlers come around the wicket, batters tend to cover their stumps throughout. Now, the margin for error if you miss the ball is very, very small. That’s why I belong to the school of thought that you can get up to the middle stump.
“But if you start from the off stump and constantly look to cover it, then if you miss a straight one, you have no chance at all. That’s exactly what happened with Jaiswal,” said Bangar, also a former India batting coach, on JioHotstar.
Varun Aaron, a former Indian pacer, reflected on KL Rahul’s dismissal, where he chopped on to his stumps for 14 off Chris Woakes. “It was an opening batter’s masterclass. He might have just scored 14 runs, but I was drooling over the way he was batting.
“No matter what happened to the ball, he was just doing everything right, right up until the point he got out. Rahul thought this particular delivery was a good opportunity to score. But that ball came back a little bit. That’s why it found his inside edge.
“But KL will be very disappointed because he saw off the most difficult part of that innings. And then getting out like that, he’d be very disappointed because that ball was not a ball he should have gotten out to,” he said.
