Yashasvi Jaiswal’s exceptional fielding played a pivotal role in Shadman Islam’s crucial dismissal, boosting India’s prospects in the ongoing Kanpur Test. Shadman, comfortably batting at 50 off 101 balls, fell prey to Akash Deep’s clever delivery.

At gully, Jaiswal’s lightning-fast reactions changed the flow of the game. Gripping the low, crisp catch with both hands, he completed a spectacular dismissal.
This game-changing wicket restored India’s hopes of victory and confirmed Jaiswal’s rising stature among the team’s safest and most dependable fielders. The course of the match has been significantly impacted by his skill in the field.
