The start of the second innings of the Indian cricket team on the fourth day of the Manchester Test was very disappointing. After losing the lead of 311 runs, the team lost two precious wickets in their second innings in the first over, which further increased their difficulties. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudarshan, who scored half -centuries in the first innings, could not do anything special in this innings and the team’s tension was increased by losing their wickets in the beginning.
Jaiswal-Sadarshan’s bad condition in Manchester
At the beginning of the second innings, England veteran bowler Chris Woakes rocked. He sent young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal to the pavilion without opening an account on the fourth ball of the first over. This duck out of Jaiswal was a big shock for him, who had hoped for a strong start for the team in this innings. But the trouble did not end here. Vox dismissed Sai Sudarshan on the next ball, who became a victim of Golden Duck. This wicket on two consecutive balls stagged the Indian innings before the start of the Indian innings.
This happened after 42 years
This poor start of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudarshan also repeated a 42 -year -old record. Actually, this is the first time since 1983 when the Indian team lost 2 wickets without opening an account in any innings of the Test match. Earlier, India had lost their first two wickets in the Test match in December 1983 without scoring any runs against the West Indies in Chennai. This was the innings in which Sunil Gavaskar scored 236 runs, this was the only occasion when he batted at number 4 in Tests.
Good start in the first innings
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudarshan batted amazing in the first innings of this match. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 58 runs from 107 balls. At the same time, Sai Sudarshan managed to play 61 runs off 151 balls. Which was also the biggest innings from India in the first innings. But this time both batsmen flopped.
