Stuart Broad critical of Yashasvi Jaiswal’s pull shot: ‘I’m surprised He just didn’t look to cut it over the off-side’

Chasing 193 runs in the third Test at Lord’s, India has got to the worst possible start when Yashasvi Jaiswal tried to pull a short ball from Jofra Archer and got the top edge. The ball went high in the air and was taken by wicket-keeper Jamie Smith. Although the intent of Jaiswal was never in question but the shot selection from him did raise a few eyebrows. The left-hander, more known for his efficiency to cut the ball out of the blue on that occasion, decided to pull.

“So Jaiswal getting out, really bad shot, I’m surprised He just didn’t look to cut it over the off-side, suddenly England are like okay, we are in. He is the player who moves the scoreboard forward,” Former England cricketer Stuart Broad said on ‘For The Love Of Cricket’ podcast. “In a low chase, when you are defending, if you come to bowl and you’ve got a Sehwag, Warner, the opening batters that can take the game away from you and they up 60 for none or one off ten, the game is sort of done,” he added.
