Yashasvi Jaiswal's three-ball duck raises questions on approach
Yashasvi Jaiswal's banter with Niroshan Dickwella ended with the Sri Lankan edging out in the same over. Jaiswal's three-ball duck highlighted concerns about his Test batting.
Yashasvi Jaiswal dared Niroshan Dickwella to clear the ropes during the Galle Test. The Sri Lankan edged to slip in the same over. Jaiswal's three-ball duck in the second innings has raised questions about how he plays in red-ball cricket.
The incident came on India's tour of Sri Lanka. Jaiswal had joined an exclusive club in the first innings but lost his wicket to a mix-up with KL Rahul. His attacking style has produced a string of early dismissals in the series.
India will review his approach before the second Test. The team management hasn't said whether the three-ball duck was a one-off or the start of a pattern.
