Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped catches : Rohit Sharma looked angry in the slip cordon after young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped a straightforward catch during the second session on the fourth day of the Boxing Day Test. The missed opportunity came at a crucial moment in Australia's second innings, giving an extra life to a well-set Marnus Labuschagne on 46. It proved to be a huge blow for India.

Rohit, who is usually calm and composed, could not hide his frustration and started punching the air in anger after the costly dropped catch. India were in a strong position at 99 for 6 when Labuschagne gave a chance off Akash Deep. Jaiswal, standing at gully, tried to take the catch with tight hands but the ball hit his palms and fell to the ground.

Yashasvi dropped three catches

This was the second catch Yashasvi dropped on the fourth day. Earlier, in the third over of Australia's innings, he missed a difficult chance to dismiss Usman Khawaja, who was on 2. Stationed at leg gully, Jaiswal struggled to react quickly to Khawaja's powerful flick. However, Labuschagne made full use of his second chance and scored his third half-century of the series. The former world No. 1 batsman played a vital role in keeping Australia in the contest, scoring half of the team's total by the second session and taking their lead past 200 runs.

Pat Cummins also dropped the catch

It got worse for Yashasvi as he missed a chance to dismiss Pat Cummins in the final over before tea. Cummins was batting on 20 when this time Jaiswal, standing at silly point, missed a great opportunity. Rohit once again vented his anger on his opening partner.
