IND vs Eng: In the Leeds Test match played with England, the Indian team did a very disappointing fielding, especially by opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. After this, he is now being removed from the slip. At first this matter was noticed during the practice session, but then before the Birmingham Test, the assistant coach himself also confirmed this. At the same time, he has also given the reason for the removal of Yashasvi from the slip.

What did the coach say about Yashswi’s fielding position?

Before the Birmingham Test match, Team India’s assistant coach Ten Doshet spoke on many important issues. Meanwhile, he also gave a statement about the change in the fielding position of Yashasvi Jaiswal and said, ‘We always want to keep depth in the catching department. Yashasvi has always been a good catcher and after the first Test match we want to maintain his confidant. Short leg fielding has a good position. We want more and more people here. The purpose of keeping Yashswi out of the slip is to give him rest, because his hands are hurting a lot.

Criticism even after scoring a century

Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a century while batting brilliantly in the first innings of the Leeds Test match. However, his bad fielding destroyed everything and due to this he had to face a lot of criticism. Not only this, this player was also dismissed early in the second innings. In such a situation, now in the second Test match, it will be expected to have a significant innings as well as better fielding.

Sai Sudarshan can replace Yashasvi

It has been confirmed by the statement of the assistant coach that Yashasvi Jaiswal is not going to field in slip. But according to the reports, Sai Sudarshan has been selected for fielding in slip in place of Yashasvi Jaiswal.
