In the ongoing third Test between India and Australia, star Indian youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal was caught out by Mitchell Starc just two balls into India's first innings. Earlier in the day, Jaiswal had been practicing a shot that seemed to have a plan to counter Starc's new ball threat. However, in a twist of fate, the ball ended up hitting the leg of a Cricket Australia cameraman. Former England captain Michael Vaughan took a sly dig at Jaiswal's dismissal, while former India coach Ravi Shastri couldn't believe the field placement that led to the downfall of the promising batter.
Mitchell Starc's attacking approach paid off as he took six wickets on the opening day of the pink-ball Test against India, dismissing them for 180 runs. The left-arm pace spearhead's strategy of hitting the stumps worked well, with his first ball dismissing centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal. Starc warned that they would need to stay focused as Jaiswal had bounced back in the second innings of the previous Test.
After Virat Kohli's dismissal on yet another offside-off delivery, the question of who India's batting coach is has been brought up by former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar. The Indian batters, still struggling since the nightmare of Adelaide, faced the heat of Mitchell Starc's fierce pace attack yet again in the ongoing Test series in Australia. Starc's impressive scalps included Indian youngsters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, making it clear that Australia's bowling strategy has been well-researched and executed.
In an unfortunate turn of events, Indian batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal's warm-up shot during the third Test match against Australia led to his dismissal on just the second ball of the innings.

This unexpected incident has raised questions about the pressure of a high-stakes game and mental preparation for players.

India is in a difficult position against Australia in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with the hosts in a dominant position after their batsman Travis Head scored a brilliant 140 runs. India's top-order struggled against the Australian pace attack, with openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal falling quickly. Captain Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma also failed to provide much resistance, leaving India with an uphill battle to avoid an innings defeat. Rishabh Pant and Nitish Kumar Reddy will have to put on a heroic performance on Day 3 to save India from a humiliating defeat.
In a familiar pattern, Australia's Scott Boland dismissed Virat Kohli with a fourth-stump delivery that pitched slightly short and nipped away, resulting in an edge to the slip-cordon. This mode of dismissal has plagued Kohli in the past, with slips always on the lookout. Despite his attempts to adapt, Kohli's weakness outside off continues to be exploited. Boland had earlier taken the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal, contributing to a top-order collapse for India on day two of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Adelaide.
On the first day of the second test between Australia and India, it was a thrilling back-and-forth battle as Australia's Mitchell Starc dominated with 6-48, his best test figures. India crumbled and were dismissed for 180 all out, with Starc removing opener Yashasvi Jaiswal with the very first ball of the match. In reply, Australia lost opener Usman Khawaja to Jasprit Bumrah's excellent bowling, but finished the day at 86-1 with Nathan McSweeney not out on 38 and Marnus Labuschagne on 20. McSweeney showed maturity in his second test, while Labuschagne overcame a nervy start and aims for a big score after a lean spell.
In a stunning display of pace and precision, Australian seamer Mitchell Starc took six wickets in the first innings of the second Test against India. After being on the receiving end of criticism from Jaiswal in a previous match, Starc had a simple strategy for getting the young opener out - hit the stumps. This tactic paid off as Jaiswal was dismissed for a duck on the very first ball of the match, setting the tone for a dominant performance by the Australian pacers. However, Nitish Kumar Reddy's counter-attacking innings posed a threat before Starc dismissed him to end his spectacular spell.
India's pacer Mohammed Siraj paid tribute to his skipper Jasprit Bumrah's outstanding performance as India secured a remarkable win against Australia in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Bumrah led by example in both innings, taking 8 wickets, including a fifer, and guiding India to their second-biggest win margin against Australia in Tests. The dynamic duo were captured celebrating the victory in style, with Siraj hilariously recreating his now-famous line about Bumrah being a gamechanger. Despite a shaky start with the bat, India bounced back under Bumrah's leadership and dominated the hosts, with an impressive partnership of 201 runs by openers Jaiswal and Rahul, and a century by Kohli himself.
