After Sunil Gavaskar Criticises Yashasvi Jaiswal's Fielding, Comes "Easy To Sit And Criticise" Retort From Ex-Coach
Yashasvi Jaiswal, despite scoring a ton for India vs England in the 1st Test in Leeds, got quite a lot of flak due to his fielding follies. 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. Former India captain and batting legend Sunil Gavaskar was not pleased with the fielding of Team India. "I don't think there will be any medal given. T Dillip gives those after a match. This is what was really very, very disappointing. Yashasvi Jaiswal is a very good fielder but he hasn't been able to hold on to anything this time," Sunil Gavaskar, who was commentating, said. Stuart Broad was also critical. "Crucially, and I mean this in the kindest possible way, they have to take their catches. They can't lob three or four of them on the floor when you're trying to get 10 wickets to take a test match," he said. However, former India fielding coach R Sridhar has come in defence of Yashasvi Jaiswal. 'He's actually an excellent gully fielder. Make no mistake. He's had just two bad games — one in Melbourne, one here in Leeds. Otherwise, he's been exceptional. The catches he took against Bangladesh in Kanpur were outstanding. It's easy to sit in the commentary box and criticise, but these are challenging conditions, and for many of them, it's their first experience of this environment,' he told Sportstar. Sridhar, however, said that India's ground fielding level was not good at all. 'The standard of ground fielding which is exhibited is not acceptable. Unlike catching, ground fielding is something which is totally in your control. You should know which ball to put your body behind, which ball to attack, which ball to play safe,' he said. 'You know when to pick up the right cues, you know, based on the breeze. Wind is another big factor. As the television visuals showed, Leeds was extremely blustery and cold when we were fielding. But even then, Karun Nair took two brilliant catches, and so did KL Rahul.' The former coach urged everyone to show some patience with the Indian cricket team. 'Going on the first tour to England and adapting and being a good slip fielder is not an easy task. You can practice all you want, but in the match, it's quite challenging. The conditions are very cold, so the fingers get very numb. And secondly, the Duke's ball wobbles a lot as it comes towards you. It's not easy to catch," he said.

Usman Khawaja snubs broadcasters after firing of pro-Palestine reporter: Reports
Australian opener Usman Khawaja made headlines off the field on Wednesday as he refused a routine post-day interview with SEN Radio following Day 1 of the Barbados Test against West Indies — a silent yet strong statement in response to the network's earlier dismissal of cricket journalist Peter who top-scored for Australia with a gritty 47 on a challenging day at Kensington Oval, was asked by team media manager Cole Hitchcock to speak with SEN commentators Bharat Sundaresan and Adam Collins. The interview, standard practice for standout performers after each day's play, was to be pre-recorded near the boundary moments before the interview could begin, Khawaja noticed the SEN logo on the microphone. Without a word, he raised his hand to decline and walked away, leaving the commentators and viewers watching the feed slightly surprised. Sources close to the team confirmed that Khawaja's refusal stemmed from SEN's controversial sacking of Peter Lalor earlier this year. The veteran cricket writer had been pulled from the broadcaster's coverage midway through Australia's tour of Sri Lanka in February, shortly after sharing posts on social media that expressed solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing conflict in social media activity included reposts about Israeli airstrikes and the release of Palestinian prisoners — content that reportedly led SEN to part ways with him. The decision sparked criticism within journalism and cricket circles, especially amongst those advocating for press freedom and human who has publicly supported Palestinian civilians and spoken against the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, has previously faced restrictions from cricket's governing bodies. Late last year, the ICC barred him from wearing peace messages on his playing gear, citing their political nature — a ruling Khawaja respectfully disagreed is the first time Khawaja has come face-to-face with SEN's broadcast team since Lalor's dismissal, and his quiet refusal spoke volumes.- Ends

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. What India are doing in Birmingham today, practice schedule, plan and more He added that while the risk factor would naturally increase with a higher target, England's batting lineup, particularly their top seven, had the firepower and belief to back themselves. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo ' They'd have had to take more risks, but they'd definitely have had a go at it ,' Buttler stressed. The statement is in line with captain Ben Stokes' often-repeated mantra of not settling for draws, which is a hallmark of England's Bazball philosophy. Under coach Brendon McCullum and Stokes' leadership, England have routinely pursued challenging fourth-innings targets with unflinching drive.
