WATCH: Yashasvi Jaiswal takes England fans' mocking like a champ - dances it off!
Yashasvi Jaiswal
came under fire during the first Test against England despite scoring a century in the first innings. His fielding display, dropping four catches across both innings, left many fans upset as it accounted for 165 runs more for England batters.
The young batter then faced mocking from England fans at Headingley as they jokingly celebrated each time Jaiswal fielded successfully. In the video that surfaced online after the conclusion of the first of five Tests in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, the left-hander can be seen casually dancing and smiling as England neared the 371-run target.

Ben Duckett, who was one of the players who survived courtesy Jaiswal's misgivings in the field, led the charge in the chase with 149 runs.
Zak Crawley's 65 runs added to the damage as well. A middle-order stutter gave India hope, but Joe Root (53)* and debutant Jamie Smith (44)* closed out the match with an unbeaten 71-run partnership.

"Catches do get dropped. The best fielders have missed catches. None of them did it on purpose," India coach Gautam Gambhir told reporters in the post-match press conference.
Shubman Gill didn't have a positive start to his reign as India Test captain.
He said the dropped catches and batting collapses were not the main reason they lost.
"A brilliant Test, we had our chances. Dropped catches, lower order not contributing cost us," he said in the post-match presentation.
"Yesterday, we were thinking of giving them 430, but our last wickets fell for 25," Gill noted.

"Even today, I thought we had our chances after the brilliant first wicket. Didn't go to hand."
"We spoke about the first-innings collapse. Happens, we have to rectify that going forward. Chances don't come easy on wickets like this, but we have a young team. Learning one. Hope to improve that."

Duleep Trophy: After Ishan Kishan, Star Pacer To Also Miss East Zones Quarterfinals Clash
India pacer Akash Deep and wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan have been ruled out of East Zone's Duleep Trophy quarterfinals against North Zone as both continue to recover from their respective injuries. Kishan was out of contention as a replacement for the injured Rishabh Pant ahead of the fifth and final Test against England at The Oval due to a left ankle injury that required stitches after falling off a bike. As a result, Tamil Nadu's N Jagadeesan was flown in as Pant's replacement. Though Kishan has been at BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru, it is understood that he has been advised more rest, keeping in mind that India 'A' are also due to host Australia 'A' for two four-day games and three 50-over games next month. In Kishan's absence, Bengal opener Abhimanyu Easwaran, who didn't get a game on India's five-match Test tour of England, will captain East Zone while all-rounder Riyan Parag will serve as the side's vice-captain. Odisha's Aashirwad Swain comes in as Kishan's replacement in the squad, while Jharkhand's Kumar Kushagra will become the first-choice wicketkeeper-batter. East Zone will also be without the services of Akash, who has been advised to rest. IANS understands that the exact nature of Akash's injury remains a mystery. However, a source claimed he is dealing with a back-related issue and has been subsequently advised to rest. Akash had missed the fourth Test against in Manchester due to a groin niggle. In all, he claimed 13 wickets in three matches on the England tour, including a match-winning 10-wicket haul in Birmingham. Assam's Mukhtar Hussain has been drafted into the East Zone squad as Akash's replacement. East Zone will open their campaign against the Shubman Gill-led North Zone in the Duleep Trophy quarterfinal starting on August 28 at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) grounds in Bengaluru. East Zone squad for Duleep Trophy quarterfinal: Abhimanyu Easwaran (captain), Aashirwad Swain (wk), Sandeep Patnaik, Virat Singh, Denish Das, Sridam Paul, Sharandeep Singh, Kumar Kushagra (wk), Riyan Parag (vc), Utkarsh Singh, Manishi, Suraj Sindhu Jaiswal, Mukesh Kumar, Mukhtar Hussain, Mohammed Shami.
