Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Fielding Nightmare in the Headingley Test
Jaiswal’s test debut in Engine Began with a promising and composed 101 OFF 159 balls that set for India’s First Innings. However, the narrative swiftly changed in the field.

Three of Jaiswal’s Drops Came in the First Innings, Including Key Chances Off England’s Ollie Pope and Harry Brook. On day 5, with England Chasing A Daunting 371, Jaiswal Mosed a Running Catch at Square Leg, Giving Ben DuckettA Lifeline That He Converted Into A Match-Defining Century. These errors not only frustrated Bowlers Like Jasprit bumrah and Mohammed Siraj But also Allowed England to Erase their first Innings Deficit and Ultimately Chase Down the Target With Five Wickets to Spare.
