Experts Urge Jaiswal to Curb Cut Shot After Another Jansen Dismissal

Steyn, Kumble cite footwork flaws, urging restraint.

Overview

  • On Day 4 in Guwahati, Yashasvi Jaiswal edged a cut off Marco Jansen to wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne as India pursued 549.
  • News18 reported it was Jaiswal’s seventh Test dismissal attempting the cut, a notable share of about 50 career dismissals.
  • It was his third dismissal to Jansen in four innings and his ninth overall to left-arm pace in Tests, according to the reporting.
  • Dale Steyn said Jansen’s left-arm angle tempts Jaiswal with perceived width before the ball holds its line or straightens, leading to edges or drag-ons.
  • Steyn and Anil Kumble recommended tighter shot selection and improved weight transfer, with Steyn invoking Sachin Tendulkar’s example of shelving a stroke.
