Yashasvi Jaiswal's Catching Woes: How Many Runs Did Jaiswals Dropped Catches Cost India In Headingley Test? Check Here
IND vs ENG: India dropped several catching opportunities throughout the opening Test against England, which conspired against them during their five-wicket defeat at Headingley. Ben Duckett's fiery 149, Joe Root's composed 53*, and Jamie Smith's swashbuckling 44* fuelled England's hunt to pull off a 371-run target at their favourite playground on Tuesday's final day of the Test. During the entire Test, India dropped as many as eight catching opportunities, which tipped the scales in England's favour.
The eight dropped chances cost India a whopping 250 runs, a valuable tally that held the power to change the visitors' fate. Yashasvi Jaiswal was the prime offender with four dropped chances, followed by other top fielders.
In the fifth over of the first innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped Ben Duckett on 11, who eventually got dismissed 23.5 overs later on 62. In the seventh over, India's gun fielder Ravindra Jadeja floored the ball and allowed Duckett another lifeline on 15.
In the 31st over, Jaiswal emerged as the culprit yet again when he failed to keep hold of the ball and allowed Ollie Pope to continue with his innings on 60. He stayed for 20.2 overs and returned with a valuable 106.
Fortune continued to stand by England's side when wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant dropped Harry Brook on 46 in the 72nd over, who was dismissed 16.3 overs later on 99. This wasn't the only time Brook saw his catch go down. In the 85th over, Jaiswal's torrid run continued when he fumbled the opportunity and gave Brook another lifeline when he had struck 82 runs.
Debutant Sai Sudharsan was the next culprit, who allowed Jamie Smith a second life after spilling his catch in the 72nd over when he had just 19 runs across his name. Smith continued to bat for the next 7.5 overs and returned with 40.
India's dropped catching fiasco continued in the second innings, with pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah's failure to get hold of Zak Crawley's catch of his own delivery in the 29th over when the English opener was at 38. The lanky batter continued to bat for 13.4 overs and was dismissed on 65.
Jaiswal dropped a record fourth opportunity when he spilt Duckett's catch in the 39th over when the southpaw was at 97. He punished India for the mistake and returned to the dressing room with 149 after 15.5 overs.

Stuart Broad highlights India's major blunder in Leeds Test: Team selection was wrong
Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad has highlighted India's major blunder in the first Test at Headingley, Leeds. England beat India by five wickets as they chased down the massive target of 371 in the first innings. As a result, India became the first team in the history of the game to lose a Test after scoring five India's loss, Stuart Broad analysed their tactics and mentioned that they got their playing combination wrong. The former seamer stated that the inclusion of left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav instead of Shardul Thakur would've made a lot of difference in the game, given England's struggles against wrist think they got their team selection wrong, if I'm honest. Kuldeep Yadav should have played instead of Shardul Thakur. Especially with the kind of pitch and England's known struggle against wrist spin, Kuldeep could have made a big difference,' Broad said on 'For the Love of Cricket'. Furthermore, Broad suggested including Arshdeep Singh into playing XI for the second Test in Birmingham with doubts of Jasprit Bumrah's selection.'If Bumrah is going to be rested at Edgbaston, I'd be tempted to bring in Arshdeep Singh. The left-arm angle and his ability to swing the ball early on could offer something different to India's bowling attack. While Prasidh Krishna improved in the second innings, the attack overall lacked control and wicket-taking not panic stations. You can't afford to rip up plans after one loss. India were in control for most of the Test, and just need a few tweaks rather than wholesale changes,' he Singh earned his maiden Test call-up for the ongoing series against England. He reaped the benefits of impressing with his ability to swing the new ball in the shorter formats, which makes him an ideal candidate for English left-arm seamer has played 21 first-class matches and picked 66 wickets at an average of 30.37 with two five-wicket hauls to his name. It remains to be seen if Arshdeep Singh makes it into the playing XI, especially with the presence of experienced seamer Akash Deep in the squad.- EndsTrending Reel

Brutal! 'We could've chased even 450': England batter over the moon after 1st Test victory
Jamie Smith of England is congratulated by captain Ben Stokes after winning the 1st Test Match against India at Headingley (Image by) England star Jos Buttler and former pacer Stuart Broad unpacked England's remarkable chase against India in the first Test at Headingley, suggesting the hosts could have overhauled an even steeper target than the 371 they eventually chased down. Speaking on their YouTube podcast 'For The Love of Cricket ', the duo praised England's aggressive intent and pinpointed key moments that turned the tide. India, powered by centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant, had set the tone with a commanding 471 in the first innings. But England hit back hard, wiping out the lead with a response that left them just six runs behind. India then added 364 in the third innings, only for England to chase down the 371-run target in style, thanks to a scintillating 149 from Ben Duckett and a composed finish from Jamie Smith. Reflecting on the effort, Buttler made a bold assertion. " I think it would've come down to time, but even if they were chasing 450, they'd have given it a go. They cruised that 370 ," he said, underlining how fluent and in-control England looked in the final innings.

"How Poorly He Bowled": Ex-England Star's Brutally Honest Take On Ravindra Jadeja's Performance
Former England cricketer Mark Butcher criticised Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja for his poor bowling utilisation of the rough during the first Test at Leeds against England, calling it "owning a hammer but punching nails in with your fist", reported Wisden Cricket Weekly. The new-look Team India failed to chase 371 runs during the Leeds Test against England, with opener Ben Duckett's swashbuckling 149 and watchful Joe Root's fifty contributing big to the team's win. During the second innings, Jadeja took 1/104 in 24 overs, getting the over of skipper Ben Stokes. However, England, particularly Duckett, neutralised Jadeja's threat very well, using the reverse sweep to their advantage. Speaking on the Wisden Cricket Weekly Podcast, Butcher said about Jadeja, "I could not believe how poorly he bowled. I would liken it to owning a hammer but punching nails in with your fist instead - not landing the ball in the rough at all until, basically, it was too late. That was extraordinary." "You talk about experience, and he has all the experience in the world. Somehow, it didn't seem to click to him or Rishabh Pant, the keeper, that it might be a good idea not to keep missing the rough all day to the left-handers," he added. Butcher also slammed Team India's selection, particularly of bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur, as one of the reasons why they looked ineffective, and they could have gone for spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Shardul could not get into double digits while batting and took a total of two wickets across the match, leaking runs at a high economy rate. "The issue around the lineup itself... how much more interesting might that last day have been had they gone for Kuldeep Yadav instead of Shardul Thakur. Thakur had had a really poor game until that one over where he gave India a tiny sniff at the back-end," he said. "If you are not contributing with the bat down there at No.8, you damn well be taking wickets, and be in the game as a bowler for more of the game than he was," he concluded. Coming to the match, India was put to bat first by England. Centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal (101), skipper Shubman Gill (147) and Rishabh Pant (134) pushed India to 471, with Ben Stokes being the leading bowler with figures of 4/66. England also delivered a fine reply with the bat, as a century from Ollie Pope (106) and fifties from Harry Brook (99) and Ben Duckett (62) pushed them to 465, giving India a slender six-run lead. Jasprit Bumrah did take a fifer, but did not get a lot of support from other bowlers. India took a strong lead in the second innings, with centuries from KL Rahul (137) and Pant (118) taking them to 364. India led by 370 runs, but it was a lower-order collapse that prevented the lead from being even more massive. Brydon Carse and Josh Tongue took three wickets to stand out among bowlers. In the chase of 371 runs, England started off well with a 188-run stand between Zak Crawley (65) and Duckett (149). However, a few quick strikes reduced them to 253/4, placing India in a balanced spot. However, Joe Root (53*) and Jamie Smith (44*) took England home, despite two wickets each from Prasidh Krishna and Thakur. Duckett took home the 'Player of the Match' award.
