‘It was Jaiswal’s fault…’: Former India captain slams star opener’s ‘fatal mistake’ that ended 175-run knock
Disaster for India as Yashasvi Jaiswal is run out on 175 due to a mix-up. Anil Kumble says there was no chance to survive. Was it Gill's call or Jaiswal's mistake?

During Saturday’s second Test match between India and the West Indies at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Yashasvi Jaiswal delivered a subpar performance. Starting the day on 173, the southpaw was only able to score two more runs before being run out early in the second over.
The dismissal occurred when Jaiswal attempted a quick single after driving a delivery from Jayden Seales to the fielder at mid-off. However, his batting partner, Shubman Gill, saw a potential danger and called off the run. Realising this too late, Jaiswal was unable to get back to the striker’s end in time. West Indies wicketkeeper Tevin Imlach collected a sharp throw from Tagenarine Chanderpaul and swiftly dislodged the bails, bringing Jaiswal’s innings to an unfortunate end at 175.
While analyzing the dismissal, former India captain Anil Kumble said that it was the fault of Jaiswal. “It was Yashasvi Jaiswal’s fault,” said Kumble on Star Spots at Lunch. “He wouldn’t have made it even to the non-striker’s end because it went straight to the mid-off fielder. There was absolutely no chance. The only doubt was whether the keeper had full control of the ball when the bails came off. But the umpire didn’t even refer it to the third umpire, and that to me was a bit of a surprise.”
“His approach today was slightly different. I thought he would go back to his yesterday morning’s first session mindset, but he continued from where he left off last evening. That to me was a bit of a surprise. He was set for a long, long innings.”
Daren Ganga, former West Indies opener, offered a different opinion, saying both Gill and Jaiswal were to blame for the run out.
“As a batter, sometimes when you’re on the move after playing a shot, you feel like you can make it. That was the case with Jaiswal – he felt he was already in motion and could get to the other end,” said Ganga. “But when I look back at the replay, I felt it was 50-50. It’s a risk he shouldn’t have taken, especially being well set at the start of a new day.“
India declared their innings at 518 for 5, with Yashasvi Jaiswal emerging as the top scorer. Captain Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 129-run knock further strengthened the team’s position.
