IND vs ENG 2024: Yashasvi Jaiswal’s incredible reaction catch throws back Joe Root

Yashasvi Jaiswal made an incredible catch there to end Root’s stay, as he returned after making 18 runs.

Joe Root, the former captain of England, was once again no match for Jasprit Bumrah. In Test cricket, the right-arm fast bowler dismissed Root for the ninth time by sending him back to the pavilion. He brilliantly set up Root on Day 3 in Rajkot with the ball reversing. Root became overconfident after receiving a few deliveries outside of his normal range.

Bumrah took Root by surprise with a blistering reverse-swinging blow. The 33-year-old tried a reverse scoop, but the ball went over the edge and toward the slip cordon.

Lightning reflexes from Jaiswal!

Kuldeep Yadav defeated Jonny Bairstow shortly after Joe Root was dismissed, costing England their fourth wicket. Because he was unable to predict Kuldeep’s spin move, the showy English batsman was unable to begin his tally. When the ball struck his pads, the batsman went for a review and discovered three reds.

Nevertheless, in Rajkot, Ben Duckett scored 150 runs. He gave England some much-needed momentum by playing courageously throughout his time at the crease. However, Kuldeep defeated him in the inning’s 51st over. He delivered a short ball that Duckett attempted to launch over mid-on, but he sent it straight to Shubman Gill, ending his tenure in the middle.

Even though they took three significant wickets in the morning, India is still a little behind. For the hosts to take the lead, the bowlers would need to select wickets on a regular basis since Ben Stokes’ wicket is quite valuable.
