4th Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal's Run Out Gives Australia Edge At MCG, Says Steve Smith
Melbourne Cricket Ground: Australia’s Steve Smith credited a last-session breakthrough, including the dramatic run-out of Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal at the end of the second day's play as the turning point in the Boxing Day Test that could decide the outcome of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. Smith highlighted the mix-up between Jaiswal and Virat Kohli as a "huge play" that shifted momentum decisively in Australia's favour. “It looks like Jaiswal called ‘yes’ and ran and Virat sent him back. It is as simple as that,” Smith said after the second day's play.
“It was obviously a really good partnership to break that one and then obviously get two more wickets. It was a huge last hour for us, so, yeah, that was a big play in the context of the day, I suppose.”
The incident occurred when Jaiswal, on 82, called for a quick single after hitting the ball to Pat Cummins at mid-on. Kohli held his ground, leaving Jaiswal stranded as the Australian captain’s precise throw to Alex Carey resulted in a critical run-out. Jaiswal’s dismissal ended a promising 100-run partnership and sparked a late Indian collapse.
