Watch: Yashasvi Jaiswal's reverse sweep backfires as Ajaz Patel rattles his stumps

Yashasvi Jaiswal has yet again left the Indian cricket team and himself frustrated, as he gifted his wicket to New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel in the ongoing first Test at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Currently, Team India is in deep trouble, losing three wickets for 78 runs. After Matt Henry got rid of Indian captain Rohit Sharma (18), Patel made the most of the pressure moment and dismissed the young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal for 30 runs off 52 balls in the 18th over of the second innings of the ongoing third and final Test at the Wankhede Stadium.

Yashasvi Jaiswal gifts his wicket to Ajaz Patel in Mumbai Test

Yashasvi Jaiswal attempted a planned reverse sweep but failed miserably. Ajaz Patel delivered a flat ball aimed at the leg stump, and Jaiswal completely lost sight of the ball as it drifted away from him. The delivery bowled with precision, zipped through, and knocked over his leg stump, and Patel celebrated the wicket enthusiastically.

Yashasvi Jaiswal was disappointed by his dismissal, leaving his team in trouble. The talented left-handed batter showed promise with a solid start, scoring 30 runs off 52 balls, including four boundaries, but he couldn't capitalize on his good start. Yashasvi Jaiswal's error in shot selection cost him and Team India dearly as it sparked the batting collapse against New Zealand.

Mohammed Siraj comes to bat at No.3 only for disappointment

After Yashasvi Jaiswal’s wicket, Mohammed Siraj, who surprisingly came to bat at No. 3, has been given LBW out, and the Indian pacer immediately took a review after discussing it with his teammate. India hoped the ball pitched outside the stump, which could save him.

But Siraj was struck on the knee roll, and it’s clearly heading for the top of the off stump, which confirmed the decision with three reds. The delivery was well tossed up, targeting the middle and leg stumps, and as Siraj lunged forward to defend from a middle-stump line, the ball spun past him.

However, it hit him a bit high; his back leg was bent, leaving little room for the ball to miss the stumps. Umpire Gough’s decision was retained by the TV umpire, and Ajaz Patel got his second wicket as Siraj departed for a duck.

Virat Kohli run out for the first time in a home Test match

Later, Virat Kohli got dismissed and ran out in a home test for the first time. Virat Kohli has been run out after a direct hit at the bowler's end. The former Indian captain desperately dived, but New Zealand started celebrating as he was short of the crease by a couple of yards. This is a massive blow for India, leaving them four wickets down in quick succession.

Virat Kohli had driven a well-flighted delivery from Rachin Ravindra towards mid-on and attempted a quick single. Matt Henry was quick to react, delivering a pinpoint throw that shattered the stumps before Kohli could make it back. The Wankhede crowd sits in stunned silence as Virat Kohli runs out for just 4 runs off 6 balls, leaving his team in a precarious position.

Virat Kohli's call to take the run was questionable, especially with the stumps looming. The Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir’s serious expression on Kohli’s mishap told all the story, while the commentator Ravi Shastri said on-air, “India is committing harakiri in the last 10 minutes.”
