Yashasvi Jaiswal is one of the most talented young cricketers in Indian cricket currently and a lot was expected from him when India landed on South African shores for their two-match Test series. However, he has failed to deliver in both the innings of the first Boxing Day Test match despite looking good in his brief time in the middle.
Burger got the better of Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first innings as well, it was the full delivery then and in the second innings, it was a rising delivery that led to Jaiswal's downfall.
It was the sixth over of India's second innings and the captain Rohit Sharma was already back to the hut on a duck. Burger who is quite tall and brings the zip off the surface nicely, bowled it just short of good length.
The ball as is the nature of South African pitches rose sharply, much to the surprise of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who tried to leave it but could not take his glove away from the line of the ball. The ball kissed his glove and the keeper Kyle Verreynee took an easy catch.
India are under the pump now and need their middle order to show some great character and skills, if they want to challenge South Africa in this Test match.
