Yashaswi Jaiswal o Virat Kohli, ¿quién tiene la culpa del agotamiento del balón izquierdo en el minuto 82?

A run-out at the non-striker’s end might be the worst form of dismissal in cricket. But any form or kind of run-out is the worst form of dismissal. If that happens when you look set to make a hundred, well, nothing can be worse. That’s exactly what happened to Yashasvi Jaiswal, who fell for 82 in the second innings of the India vs Australia 4th Test. Batting with Virat Kohli, the duo looked certain when running, and it always felt like something bad was around the corner.

Run-out: Whose fault, Virat Kohli or Yashasvi Jaiswal?

They had miscommunicated before. Ran risky singles or denied easy twos. Both didn’t look comfortable running together, but as far as batting goes, both looked like a million bucks. After a 102-run stand between Kohli and Jaiswal, in the 41st over, a horrible confusion happened, and both the batters ended up at the non-striker’s end.

Hitting a full ball to mid-on, Jaiswal ran at full speed. Kohli didn’t respond, neither saying yes nor no. He instead was ball-watching. But the run wasn’t there, and Jaiswal kept on running and reached the halfway mark before Pat Cummins picked it up. The throw wasn’t great, but Jaiswal didn’t even try to get back, and Alex Carey whipped the bails with ease.
