The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 journey is over for Yashasvi Jaiswal but it seems the Indian batter is still in T20 mood as he looked solid against England Lions in the first unofficial Test match, but just when things looked good, the opening batter played a horrible shot and got dismissed.

Jaiswal's horrible shot led to his demise Vs England Lions

In overcast conditions, the England Lions captain decided to put India into bat and the decision almost paid off as Abhimanyu Easwaran, the India A captain was sent back cheaply as the batter copped a blow on the front leg. Once he was dismissed, Jaiswal steadied the ship and in tricky conditions, he weathered the early storm. However, just when Jaiswal was looking solid in the middle, the opener had a lapse of concentration.

The English bowler delivered a length ball across the off stump as Jaiswal, still in IPL mood went for an unnecessary heave as the ball took the outside edge and the keeper took a simple catch. There was no need for the aggression as the batter had settled well but was sent back for 24.

Jaiswal India's first choice opener, who will bat alongside him?

Jaiswal has cemented his place in the Test team and will certainly be India's first choice opener in the Test series. However, the team still hasn't found Rohit Sharma's opening successor. Easwaran, the India A captain had the golden chance to grab that opportunity but he perished cheaply as the opening woes still continue to haunt the Indian side. If not Easwaran, India might go in with KL Rahul as Jaiswal's partner in the England Tests.
