Penish incident happened with Jaiswal
Actually, at the beginning of the match, the handle of Yashasvi Jaiswal’s bat broke. England fast bowler Chris Woakes was bowling in the 9th over of the Indian innings, and Yashasvi Jaiswal was on strike. On the fifth ball of this over, Jaiswal tried to play a defensive shot. The ball jumped a little more than his expectation and went straight to the handle of his bat. The effect of the ball was so fast that the handle of Jaiswal’s bat broke. Seeing this, the players, umpire and fans on the field were all surprised. Jaiswal immediately saw the broken bat and then pointed to the dugout to change it.

Strong start of Jaiswal
Despite this incident, Yashasvi Jaiswal carried his innings forward with restraint. He has emerged as an important opener for the Indian Test team and is known for his aggressive batting. But where the fast bowlers were expected to get help on Manchester pitch, Jaiswal Ka made a defensive start.
