ENG vs IND | Twitter and Gill exasperated as Jaiswal drop makes Bumrah's Brook setup go in vain

‌India wrestled their way back into the tie shortly after Lunch on Day 3 when Prasidh Krishna had Jamie Smith hole out at square leg with the new ball due in three balls’ time. With a new batter Chris Woakes at the crease and Harry Brook looking settled, it was the perfect opportunity for the visitors to seize momentum with a fresh Jasprit Bumrah wielding the fresh new Dukes. However, the English pair stood resolute even as the premier pacer toiled, but Brook eventually broke in Bumrah’s third over albeit it amounted to nothing.

Bumrah teased Brook with a length delivery wide of off and the local boy obliged with a tentative dab towards third man, only to send the ball flying towards Yashasvi Jaiswal at fourth slip. However, the sheer pace at which the red cherry came caught the youngster off guard and all he could do was flap at it while it slipped in between his palms. Skipper Shubman Gill, standing next to Jaiswal, could not believe the reprieve as he swung his arm in frustration while Bumrah stood frustrated with his face in his palms.

Twitterati was no less disappointed.

Apologise 

Indian fielders should apologise to Bumrah, particularly Jaiswal who dropped 3 catches off Bumrah

What more can anyone alone do.

Heart aches

Heart aches for Bumrah, pouring his soul into every delivery, yet no support from the fielders. 4 catches dropped since yesterday. He is giving his 200% effort for the team & deserves better support



Catches win matches

Dropped

Bumrah to Brook, 1 run, dropped by Jaiswal at gully. India keep dropping catches. Bumrah closes his eyes with his hands as he soaks in the disappointment,.

Poor fielder 

Jaiswal has to be the poorest fielder to have played test for India. Dropped 3 catches of Bumrah. Appalling, needs to spent extra 2 hours everyday on his catching.

Four catches

Four catches have been dropped off Bumrah’s bowling in this innings.



- This is the joint-most drops off an Indian bowler in a single innings.



- Jaiswal’s three dropped catches are also the joint-most by an Indian fielder in a single innings.

Treatment

Jaiswal deserves belt treatment from Bumrah in the dressing room. This one should not be acceptable. No way you can drop such dollies.
