Jasprit Bumrah sends Yashasvi Jaiswal’s off-stump cart-wheeling during India’s training at Chepauk

Chennai: Yashasvi Jaiswal was caught visibly frustrated after senior pacer Jasprit Bumrah made fun of the youngster by often his off-stump cart-wheeling on Monday at Chepauk the total way through India’s training session beforehand of the primary Test match against Bangladesh. With 10 Tests this season, including two double hundreds, Jaiswal comes with heady reputation as one of many long-term superstar in making having scored a thousand plus runs in his first 9 Tests with seven hundred plus coming against England in a single series.

But Jaiswal’s critics will undoubtedly point out that in those 9 games, there have been a pair against South Africa on bouncy tracks of Centurion and Newlands (Cape Town) where he didn’t exactly comfortable against percent and bounce. While England series where he played a lot of slow bowlers was a blockbuster, Jaiswal’s real test will likely be five Tests in Australia later this year.

And earlier than he faces Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, both tall Bangladeshi speed merchants Taskin Ahmed and Nahid Rana can also test him with percent and bounce. Jaiswal’s first class season hasn’t exactly started off well with two low scores in Duleep Trophy where Avesh Khan and Khaleel Ahmed did trouble him with extra bounce, something which remains work in progress.

On the day, Bumrah, who bowled a lot to Jaiswal twice got him clean bowled and beat the surface edge of his bat selection of times. Bumrah, got the ball to shape far from Jaiswal, who was seen beaten for percent and swing. He undoubtedly didn’t look in best of touch and it wasn’t pleasant sight to to locate his stumps flying worldwide the place as he was seen playing with tough hands on the look for to push tough at deliveries.

In actuality, he was troubled by all three — percent, bounce and swing. It didn’t seem that he was sure about where his off-stump was. And it was now no longer just Bumrah but even net bowlers like Simarjeet Singh, Gurnoor Brar and Gurjanpreet Singh got past his outside edge over and over.

At one point, the legendary Virat Kohli was seen talking to him on the look for to clarify where he was going wrong. Both Kohli and Jaiswal took turns and batted for nearly an hour, facing around 50 balls. Throughout this session, Kohli unleashed trademark cover drive and on-drive.

As for Jaiswal, he was on the look for to leave a lot of deliveries from length, especially ones from Bumrah. With the practice pitch made from red soil, the track offered updated bounce, and playing shots were now no longer seamless. Bumrah also managed to a bit trouble Kohli, with a lot of his deliveries bowled into his pads. After Bumrah was done with his spell of nearly five overs, both batters faced the practice bowlers.

Jaiswal was more comfortable against spinners as he now and then rocked back to play the square cut. And there was Rishabh Pant, who has always treated deliveries from left-arm spinners with a lot of disdain as he launched into the Ajit Rams and M Siddharths with ease.
