Flamboyant Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's promising innings against the West Indies was cut short following a run-out mishap with captain Shubman Gill. Despite the disappointing end to his stellar play, which concluded at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Day 2 of the second Test, Jaiswal remained unfazed by the incident.
Resuming with an overnight score of 173, Jaiswal managed to add only two more runs before a miscommunication with Gill led to his dismissal in the second over. The mix-up left Jaiswal visibly stunned as Tagenarine Chanderpaul's precise throw to keeper Tevin Imlach proved deadly, with Jaiswal stranded mid-pitch at 175 off 258 balls, missing what could have been his third Test double ton.
Despite varied reactions from fans regarding the unfortunate run-out, Jaiswal addressed the incident casually as just 'part of the game.' His performance, marked by strategic pacing and skillful execution, was widely lauded, even as India declared at 518/5 before West Indies ended Day 2 at 140/4, trailing by 378 runs.
