In a delightful moment, a heartwarming reunion took place at the start of the second Test between India and England at Edgbaston. Ahead of Day 3's play, Rajasthan Royals stars Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel were seen catching up with former Sri Lanka captain and current Rajasthan Royals Director of Cricket, Kumar Sangakkara.

Yashasvi Jaiswal Meets Kumar Sangakkara

The brief interaction occurred near the boundary ropes, moments before the players took the field. As Sangakkara, who served as the head coach of Rajasthan Royals during the IPL 2024 season and now oversees the team’s cricketing operations across leagues, engaged in conversation with Yashasvi Jaiswal. 

The opener on seeing him and beaming with joy, threw his arms around the seasoned legend in a sudden, heartfelt embrace.

Sangakkara, visibly touched and amused, returned the hug with a broad smile, clearly enjoying the lively and affectionate gesture. Standing nearby, wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel could not contain his happiness, at the playful exchange and pointed toward Jaiswal’s spontaneous act.

The video of the reunion, surfaced on social media shortly after, quickly went viral, with fans praising the bond between the trio and highlighting the close-knit culture within the RR camp.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's Exceptional Form 

Jaiswal, who has been in exceptional form during the series, narrowly missed out on a second century in the ongoing second Test. The star batter made composed 87 runs in the first innings. His knock was marked by elegant strokeplay, fearless intent, and maturity beyond his years.

India asserted their dominance on Day 2, posting a formidable first-innings total of 587 after being put into bat. The highlight of the innings was a sensational knock of 269 by Shubman Gill, who etched his name into the record books with a career-best performance.

While Gill stole the spotlight, valuable contributions from the lower order further propelled India’s total. Ravindra Jadeja played a typically gritty innings of 89, mixing flair with resilience, while Washington Sundar chipped in with a handy 42, ensuring India crossed the 550-run mark with ease.
