The much-awaited Pink Ball Test between India and Australia has started today. This is indeed the most challenging match for the Indian team in the entire series. Rest of the matches will be normal. This is the reason why there was such a long gap between the first and second Tests and India also got a chance to play a practice match. But when the match started, the Indian team got the first blow very soon. Yashaswi Jaiswal, who became India’s star player, was dismissed on the very first ball of the match. So far there are only three batsmen in the world who have been dismissed on their first ball in a pink ball Test, now Jaiswal’s name has also been added to that list.
Yassavi Hamilton reaches a level with Masakadza and Jack Crowley
The Pink Ball Test was started in the year 2015. Then a day night test was played between Australia and New Zealand. But the first player to get dismissed on his first ball in a pink ball Test was in 2017, when Hamilton Masakadza of Zimbabwe was dismissed on the first ball against South Africa. He was dismissed by Morne Morkel in the second innings. After this, the second player to be dismissed this way was Jack Crowley. Who was dismissed on the first ball against India in the year 2021. His role was played by Akshar Patel. This was the third innings of the match and it was a pink ball test.
Yashaswi Jaiswal was dismissed by Mitchell Starc on the very first ball.
After this now the third batsman is out like this. Yashaswi Jaiswal fell prey to Mitchell Starc on the very first ball of the match. They had to go back before they understood the pitch and the ball. The special thing is that Yashwi Jaiswal has become the first Indian player to be dismissed on her very first ball in a pink ball Test. It means that if we talk about the last 9 years, only three batsmen have emerged like this. However, not much time has passed since the Pink Ball Test. Also, these matches are rarely played, so not many records are made.
Jaiswal was also dismissed in the first innings of the first match, scoring a century in the second innings.
If we talk about Yashshwi Jaiswal, she was dismissed for zero runs in the first innings of the first match of the same series. After this he played an important role in winning his team by scoring a brilliant century in the second innings of the match. He shared over 200 runs for the first wicket with KL Rahul and managed to score 161 runs himself. Jaiswal’s early exit has dealt a blow to the Indian team, but there are still plenty of matches left and the game can turn around from here.
