Couple Of Inches Made The Difference Between A Confident Stroke And Soft Dismissal, Says Manjrekar On Jaiswal's Dismissal
Sir Garfield Sobers: Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar believes Yashasvi Jaiswal’s dismissal in the second innings of ongoing fourth Test against England resulted from a minor difference in the ball which took him out, which made the difference between a confident stroke and soft dismissal.
Veteran all-rounder Chris Woakes struck in the opening over of India’s second innings when he got one to shape away enough and take the leading edge of a squared up Jaiswal’s bat, which was brilliantly caught by one-handed Joe Root going low to his right at slip, as the left-handed opener fell for a duck.
“When you analyse Jaiswal’s dismissal, the delivery that got him out was fuller, but it landed in the same area as the previous one — which he had handled well. So this is a batter whose mind was slightly muddled. A couple of inches made the difference between a confident stroke and a soft dismissal.”
