How to dismiss Yashasvi Jaiswal? ‘Play on his ego’, David Lloyd advises England

With 321 runs in four innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal sits on top of the list of run-getters in the ongoing India-England Test series that will continue to miss Virat Kohli. And the young Indian opener’s hunger for runs, which reminisces Kohli, is becoming a headache for the visitors.

The series is tentalisingly poised at 1-1 after two intriguing Tests, as the teams get ready to face off in the third Test in Rajkot, beginning February 15.

England rallied in superb fashion to win the first Test in Hyderabad despite conceding a big lead to the hosts. India then came back in Visakhapatnam to level things up, thanks to heroic performances led by Jaiswal’s double hundred and Jasprit Bumrah’s six-wicket burst in the second innings to blow England away.

Jaiswal, who boasts an average of 80.25 after his four innings so far in the series, scored 209 in the first innings of Vizag Test; and former England coach David Lloyd believes the visitors need to get under Jaiswal’s skin by playing on his ego.

“Jaiswal is a dasher all right, but he doesn’t have an obvious weakness. So I would be thinking slightly outside the box and rather than bowling the left-arm spinner against him with the new ball, I would be tempted to persevere with the off-spinner, placing temptation in the deep,” Lloyd wrote in his column for Daily Mail.

“I would like to see England play on Jaiswal’s ego a bit more.”

Advising England spinners to lure Jaiswal into hitting big shots, Lloy said England need to be smart in their placement of deep fielders when bowling to Jaiswal.

“You need to keep your catchers around the bat in subcontinental conditions, but you also need one or two fielders hovering in strategic positions where he likes to hit the ball,” Lloyd wrote.

He said skipper Ben Stokes needs to revisit the trap he had set to dismiss Shreyas Iyer in Vizag, when the out-of-form Indian batter got lured into playing a big shot with deep mid-off and deep mid-wicket in place, which resulted in his wicket.

“Dangle him (Jaiswal) a carrot by posting a deep mid-wicket and a deep mid-off, but two-thirds rather than all the way back to the boundary. Recall the trap Stokes set for Shreyas Iyer in the second Test, when the England captain ran towards the rope to take a very good overhead catch,” Lloyd said.
