Ind vs WI, 2nd Test: Netizens Blame Gill for Jaiswal's Runout

First-day century maker Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was inching closer to a double ton on Day 2 of the second test against West Indies was run out after a mix-up between him and captain Shubman Gill.

Early on second day, Jaiswal was involved in a mix-up with Gill in the second over of the morning session, and was run out for 175 runs off 258 balls.

After putting up 74-run partnership for the third wicket, Jaiswal was run out on the eighth ball of the morning Saturday. He set off for a run, with partner Gill turning him back too late, and Tagenarine Chanderpaul’s throw from mid-off found him way short of the crease.

As Jaiswal walked back he gestured in disappointment to Gill.

Netizens were also quick to don analysts hats and started pointing fingers at the Indian Test captain.

Those who are teaching me cricket should just look at this angle

Jaiswal is halfway down the pitch and Gill is watching the fielder instead of his partner. In cricket the basic rule is to look at your partner and trust his call cause most of the time he’s at the danger end pic.twitter.com/QL2tohiCZn

As the discussions grew online, fans were split and several backed Gill.

Watch how Gill responds in these two cases, there was a quick single, but gill wasn't ready for it and also started ball watching.

However there is no need for such right singles on flat tracks, so jaiswal is equally to blame. pic.twitter.com/zQl3BFudsC

Mindless running from Jaiswal after hitting straight to fielder resulting in run out.

He did the same thing in Melbourne too when he was batting with Virat Kohli.

Jaiswal was unbeaten on 173 runs and scored his seventh test century on Friday’s opening day.

Gill was unbeaten on 75 runs at lunch Saturday, with Dhruv Jurel (7 not out) for company, as India piled on the runs after shrugging off the early setback. Nitish Reddy scored 43 off 54 balls.

Soon after the match started after lunch, Gill brought up his hundred and later decided to declare the innings for 518/5.
