'Not Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal is real flat-track bully': Twitter tears into India opener after Oval Test failure
Table of Contents
The India vs England final Test is being played at The Oval. The match is decisive from India's point of view, as only a win can lead them to have their hands on the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy alongside the English side.
India stitched a team effort in Manchester that denied England an early win in the series, as the batters played stunningly over the last two days and scored 400+ runs, defying England's lead and also ending the fourth Test with a draw.
However, India has remained troubled with their no. 3 batter and also Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is not having a convincing run in the series. From dropping catches in the Leeds Test to being very inconsistent with the bat, Jaiswal has not had the best of form in England.
Yashasvi Jaiswal falls as Gus Atkinson's comeback wicket
Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has been India's constant in the longest format of the game. Jaiswal has piled up runs at the top, and England has been his favourite opposition, as he scored 700+ runs in the series last time when England toured India.
However, this time he just has one hundred against England and also has two fifties in the series. With not many runs, Jaiswal has failed to provide India with a good start, being dismissed early on several occasions.
In the final decisive game against England at The Oval, Jaiswal was dismissed early again by a ball that nipped back in from English pacer Gus Atkinson. The pacer is making his comeback into the side after being ruled out due to injury for a long period of time.
Jaiswal was easily beaten by the inswinging delivery that caught Jaiswal right in front of the wickets and hit both his pads. Ollie Pope, the English skipper for the final Test, also turned happy, making his first successful review after 14 previous decisions were not overturned.
India reconsider Karun Nair for India XI; England rest Ben Stokes
Team India has considered giving Indian batter Karun Nair another chance in the Indian playing 11 for the final Test at The Oval. Karun Nair was dropped from the Indian team for the fourth Test after his array of disappointing performances.
Karun Nair made a comeback to the Indian team after a span of 8 years, as he played the first three matches of the England series. However, with just 131 runs across 6 innings, Nair was dropped from the 4th Test and then was recalled as India added an extra batter for the Oval Test.
On the other hand, English skipper Ben Stokes has been rested for the final Test after having bowled several overs and batted relentlessly in the series. Ollie Pope steps in as the stand-in skipper.
Also, Gus Atkinson and Jamie Overton have been recalled into the England playing 11.
ICT fans react to Yashasvi Jaiswal's flop show
It’s become a habit for Jaiswal, score runs in the first match and then just play out the rest of the series without contributing much.

Very disappointing series, showed up only a few times, mostly in the first innings. Completely missing when it mattered most in the second.

Jaiswal played a sluggish shot, no way near the ball. His temperament has been on downfall since Lord's Test. Terrible shots to get dismissed.

Jaiswal needs to be dropped in Test cricket ASAP. Right now he is not good enough for Test Cricket

Jaiswal is having very average series, he started well just like he did in Australia but couldn't capitalize
