IND vs Eng: Sunil Gavaskar slam poor Yashasvi Jaiswal – ‘There is some uncertainty’. Cricket news
Former India batsman Sunil Gavaskar has expressed serious concern over the technique of Yashasvi Jaiswal after his poor dismissal on the day of the fifth Test at Oval.

After scoring a hundred in the first Test, he does not look very fluent,” Gavaskar said.He said that the issue lies in the batsman’s footwork and shoulder position, something that is rapidly affecting the ability of Inswingers to combat. “It is probably the reason that he is not taking his front leg far ahead to eliminate this return. But he is a good player. I think if someone sits with him and works on some technical aspects, such as his front leg and not opening his shoulder, it can help.”

Do you think Yashsavi Jaiswal can bounce back his recent poor?
Breaking it further, Gavaskar explained, “Now, his back shoulder is going towards the first or second slip, making it difficult for the bat to come straight down. If his shoulder is more towards the wicketkeeper and the first slip, the bat comes down.”The initial exit of Jaiswal left India under pressure after England asked to bat first. In stumps on a rainy day, India was 204 for 6 out of 6 in 64 overs, Karun Nair not out at 52 and Washington Sundar at 19.The top orders of India continued to struggle throughout the day. KL Rahul was bowled by Chris Woakes for 14, while Shubman Gill was run out for 21. India will require a strong lower-order fightback to post the competitive total in the final test.
