Delhi: The second match of the five -Test series between India and England will be played from July 2 at Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham. Earlier, questions have been raised about the fielding of the Indian team. Especially the discussion about the fielding of Yashasvi Jaiswal is intensified. In the first Test played in Leeds, India left a total of eight catches. Four of this catches were left alone by Yashasvi. Due to these mistakes, England got the benefit of around 250 runs and India had to face defeat by five wickets.

Change in Fielding Position of Yashasvi Jaiswal

In the press conference before the match, India’s assistant coach Ryan Ten Duskate supported Jaiswal. He said that Yashasvi is a good catcher and we want to maintain his confidence. Under the circumstances of England, we need four catcher at all times. If we feed two spinners, then the role of short leg becomes important. He also told that Jaiswal has some injury in his hands, so he may be removed from the street’s position for some time.

The team left many catches in the first match

In the first innings, Jaiswal left Ben Docket’s catch for 11 runs and Duckett was later dismissed for 62 runs. Then he also left catch of Oli Pope and Harry Brook, which England got big innings. In the second innings too, Jaiswal left another catch of Docket, which was his fourth drop catch. Docket took advantage of him and played a brilliant innings of 149 runs.

Other fielders also made a mistake. Sai Sudarshan, Rishabh Pant and Jaspreet Bumrah were also caught. If India has to return to the series, then it will be very important to improve fielding. Team India is expected to catch better in the Edgbaston Test.
