Yashasvi Jaiswal’s return to ODI cricket was cut short in Ranchi as the young opener fell for 18 off 16 balls, caught behind by Quinton de Kock off Nandre Burger. After a bright start that included four boundaries and two sixes, Jaiswal edged a good-length delivery in the 3rd over, leaving India at 25/1 in 3.1 overs.
His dismissal ended what began as an aggressive and promising knock, but the JSCA crowd immediately erupted as Virat Kohli walked out to join Rohit Sharma, reuniting the iconic RO-KO pair in ODI cricket once again.
Rohit, who had taken the backseat while Jaiswal attacked early, now takes strike as the stadium atmosphere turns electric. The fall of the wicket has shifted all attention to India’s senior duo as they look to settle the innings and build from the early momentum.
