The game is done with Yashasvi Jaiswal
The much-awaited Pink Ball Test between India and Australia has started from today. This is truly the most challenging match for the Indian team in the entire series. Rest of the matches will be normal. This is the reason why there was such a long gap between the first and second Test and India also got a chance to play a practice match. But when the match started, the Indian team got its first blow very soon. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has become India’s star player, was out on the very first ball of the match. Till now, there have been only three batsmen in the world who have been out on their very first ball in the Pink Ball Test, now Jaiswal’s name has also been added to that list.
Yashasvi reaches level with Hamilton Masakadza and Jack Crowley
The Pink Ball Test started in the year 2015. Then the Day Night Test was played between Australia and New Zealand. But the first player to be out on his very first ball in the Pink Ball Test was in the year 2017, when Zimbabwe’s Hamilton Masakadza was out on the very first ball against South Africa. He was dismissed by Morne Morkel in the second innings. After this, the second player to be out in this manner was Jack Crowley. Who was out on the very first ball against India in the year 2021. He was played by Akshar Patel. This was the third innings of the match and it was a pink ball test.
Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed by Mitchell Starc on the very first ball.
After this, now the third batsman has been out in this manner. Yashasvi Jaiswal became the victim of Mitchell Starc on the very first ball of the match. Before they could understand the pitch and the ball, they had to go back. The special thing is that Yashasvi Jaiswal has become the first Indian player to be out on his very first ball in the Pink Ball Test. That means, if we talk about the last 9 years, only three batsmen have emerged like this. However, not much time has passed since the Pink Ball Test. Also, these matches are played very rarely, hence not many records are made.
Jaiswal was out for zero in the first innings of the first match too, scored a century in the second innings
If we talk about Yashasvi Jaiswal, he was out for zero in the first innings of the first match of the same series. After this, he played an important role in helping his team win by scoring a brilliant century in the second innings of the match. He had made a partnership of more than 200 runs for the first wicket with KL Rahul and himself managed to score 161 runs. The Indian team has suffered a blow due to Jaiswal’s early dismissal, but there is still a lot of match left and the game may turn from here.
