Watch: Ben Stokes dismissed Yashsvi Jaiswal; Their fierce response goes viral. Cricket news
England captain Ben Stokes brought Edgbaston into life on 1 of 2 Tests with a fierce sand-off after rejecting India’s in-form opener Yashsvi Jaiswal. It already followed the on-field exchange between the two. Jaiswal, a century away from a century in the first Test in Headingley, looked well for another ton in the series. The 23-year-old ran in his 21st Test on his 16th fifty-Plus score, leading to half a century off 58 balls with 10 borders. However, Stokes and Jaiswal instigated tension in the first day of sharing a sharp exchange. The moment came after Jaiswal carried a quick single with Stokes bowling. The England captain saw some words for the young batsman, about which Jaiswal replied, “You don’t want to hear me, come.” Rivalry added additional spice to the competition and it was Stokes which was eventually the last word. Stokes found the edge of Jaiswal with a delivery, which was comfortably taken by wicketkeeper-son Jamie Smith, sent back to Jaiswal for a well-compiled 87 off 107 balls.
