Is dishonesty with Yashasvi Jaiswal?
Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for 17 runs with two fours in 25 balls. He was dismissed by Chris Woakes on the ball coming in. The umpire erected a finger without any hesitation, causing fame unhappy. The incident occurred in the seventh over of the innings when Yashasvi went to flick the full length ball of Vox, but missed. The ball was not directly in contact with the bat, after which the umpire called him LBW out. However, unhappy with the umpire’s decision, the Indian opener stood at the crease instead of returning to the pavilion. Yashasvi pointed out that the ball would have missed the leg stump. Since the umpire’s decision was out, Yashasvi had to return to the pavilion. After about 10 seconds, Jaiswal finally returned to the pavilion.
