IND vs ENG: Batsman Yashasvi's poor fielding cost him heavily, he missed so many catches in the last three Tests, the team lost all three


Posted on 26th Jun 2025 02:42 pm by rohit kumar

Yashasvi Jaiswal is in a lot of discussions these days. He is in the dock after Team India's defeat at Headingley in Leeds. He dropped four catches in this match and all four then scored a lot of runs against India. Not only Yashasvi, but the rest of the Indian fielders also dropped catches. England won by five wickets in Leeds due to Team India's poor fielding. After Yashasvi dropped the catch, the reaction of head coach Gautam Gambhir was worth seeing. He looked very disappointed. Now when the second Test will be played from July 2, there will be scope for improvement in the level of fielding from Yashasvi. This saying is quite famous in cricket matches leave the catch, leave the match. This saying has proved to be true in the last three Tests. The number of runs Yashasvi scored in these matches, the runs scored by the players whom he gave life to, were more than those scored by him.

 

Yashasvi dropped four catches.

 

There is no doubt that Yashasvi is the star of the future, but his fielding came under question after the Leeds Test. Yashasvi dropped the catch of Ben Duckett during England's second innings. He was then on 97 runs. After this, he played an innings of 149 runs. Not only this, in the first innings also Yashasvi dropped the catches of centurions Ollie Pope and Harry Brook in the slip. Brook scored 99 runs and Pope scored 106 runs in the first innings. This made the fans very angry. Then Yashasvi was also seen dancing in front of English fans after dropping four catches. On this, many former cricketers including Gavaskar scolded him, while some former cricketers including Kaif and Ashwin also defended him.

 

Poor fielding dominated Yashasvi's batting.

 

Yashasvi has played a total of three Tests since the Melbourne Test last year on the Australia tour. Yashasvi has dropped a total of seven catches since the second innings of the Melbourne Test. Yashasvi has batted in five innings (from the second innings) during this period and scored 221 runs. This includes innings of 84 runs, 10 runs, 22 runs, 101 runs, and four runs. However, with the seven catches he dropped, those batsmen scored 229 runs after getting a lifeline. That is, Yashasvi's batting has been dominated by his poor fielding.

 

Ashwin defends Yashasvi

 

However, Ashwin defends Yashasvi and says, 'There has been a lot of talk about Yashasvi dropping catches on the slip cordon. Yes, he must be finding it difficult, but let us all just understand something and let him be a little relaxed, which we often fail to do. I want to tell you how difficult it is to catch catches in England. It is cold there and the Duke ball also plays an important role.'

 

'It takes time to get used to the Duke ball'

 

Ashwin said, 'It may take time to get used to the Duke ball. The SG ball comes well in the hand and feels comfortable. The Kookaburra feels small. Duke is hard and the ball feels big and it is not easy to catch it. Yashasvi has been one of the best slip fielders in India. He has taken some great catches in recent times, especially in Test cricket. So we should give him some time.'

 

Kaif gave this advice to Yashasvi.

 

At the same time, Kaif said in a video posted on Instagram, 'Why is Yashasvi Jaiswal dropping catches? We are practicing with the Duke ball and when we get hurt, we tie a bandage. In this situation, the fingers get stuck and the fingers are not able to move freely. You are not able to catch the catch because the bandage becomes a sponge. The ball bounces off it and this is the problem with Yashasvi. One should not lose natural connection with the ball.'
