Six minutes of chaos for India
The New Indian Express Dharmapuri
|December 28, 2024
ASHASVI Jaiswal turned around and looked at Virat Kohli as Alex Carey took the bails off at the striker's end.
Kohli indicated the fielder was near as the youngster gestured it was his call before shaking his head all the way to the dressing room here at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday. He was 18 runs shy of his second century of the series.
That was just the first of the few maddening minutes before bails were drawn on the second day. Moments later, he did a facepalm without removing the helmet, put his head down as the crowd stood up and applauded an outstanding innings that came to an end with an unnecessary run out less than half an hour before stumps. By then Jaiswal, batting on 82 off 117 balls, had just completed a 100-run stand with Kohli. After the peach from Pat Cummins on the stroke of tea (to remove KL Rahul), the two batters ensured the visitors remained in the contest.
