During the tense second Test match between India and West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, a moment of drama unfolded when Yashasvi Jaiswal was run out due to a mix-up with captain Shubman Gill.
Jaiswal, who was looking to convert his impressive innings into a double century, scored a remarkable 175 runs before being left stranded halfway down the pitch. The incident occurred when he called for a quick single, but Gill hesitated, leading to Jaiswal's unfortunate dismissal.
Despite the on-field frustration, Jaiswal later downplayed the incident in an interview with Star Sports, stating, “It is part and parcel of the game.” He reflected on his focus during the innings, expressing a desire to contribute significantly to the team's score.
At stumps, India declared their innings at 518 for 5, with vital contributions from both openers. Jaiswal and Gill’s centuries helped put India in a commanding position.
