Twitter reacts to opener’s failure in Guwahati test

Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is close to making a comeback in ODIs against South Africa, but he is disappointed with his form in the Tests. Be it South Africa or India, his Test batting performance has been disappointing.

South Africa has dominated the Indian team with both bat and ball. Although the Indian team included four and three spinners in both the matches of the series, they were not as effective as the South African spinners, who did not allow the Indian batsmen to survive.

Simon Harmer has been South Africa’s best player and Marco Johnson has taken things under control coming into the second Test in Guwahati. The 6.8 feet bowler used his bounce effectively to turn the field in his favour.

Yashasvi Jaiswal gets out cheaply while chasing record target for India

Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his flop show against South Africa as he got out cheaply on yet another occasion. The Indian batsmen have struggled throughout the series and the opening pair in particular has failed to provide promising starts.

Jaiswal, who has a great record against any team, does not have a great record against the Proteas team. Yashasvi Jaiswal played for the first time against South Africa in South Africa and in those two Test matches he scored 17, 5, 0 and 28.

Continuing his poor form this time too, his only good innings came in the last game, where he scored 58 runs. In this innings too, Yashasvi Jaiswal was out after scoring only 13 runs in 20 balls with the help of one four and one six.

He once again tried to force a short ball through cover but could not get the top of the ball and the ball went back to the wicketkeeper for an easy catch.

India on the verge of another home series defeat

The final session was already underway when Ravindra Jadeja dismissed Tristan Stubbs and South Africa declared the innings with a lead of 548. The target set was 549 runs. After this, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul came to chase the target.

Both openers were sent back in short order, as Marco Jansson and Simon Harmer both took a wicket each. Kuldeep Yadav had to be sent to bat at number three. 4, because India needed a night watchman.

Even after losing the first two wickets, India will have to bat the whole day tomorrow to avoid losing the match. India does not have many chances to win this match, but it can avoid a clean sweep in the series by drawing this match. However, this doesn’t seem very likely right now.
