Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli had been building a solid partnership, adding 102 runs for the third wicket, but a moment of miscommunication brought it to an abrupt end, thanks to Australian captain Pat Cummins and wicketkeeper Alex Carey’s sharp fielding in Melbourne.

Jaiswal, who had been in sublime form, was left walking back to the pavilion after a well-played knock of 82 runs, as Kohli was close to his crease and returned back to his point once he saw the run-out chance. The mix-up was a turning point in India’s innings, leading to a batting collapse in the ongoing Boxing Day Test at the MCG.
Mohammad Kaif calls Yashasvi Jaiswal’s risky single a ‘Big Mistake’ in the Boxing Day Test
Kaif said that there was no run because Jaiswal came forward, took a shot, and he got the start. The former Indian cricketer has pointed out that the youngster had already taken a few steps forward and thought that he would reach the top, and he left his crease. He has openly blamed Yashasvi for losing his wicket to get a risky single.
Mohammad Kaif said in a video posted on his X handle: “I thought that Yashasvi forgot that the ball traveled very fast and went into the hands of Cummins. He took a shot in the middle of the ball and reached very fast in the hands of Fielder. Although Fielder was behind and was around 25 yards. But he came so fast that there was no reaction time.”
I won't blame Virat Kohli, it was Yashasvi Jaiswal's mistake: Mohammad Kaif
Kaif signed off by saying, “There is a great partnership. So, Jaiswal can leave one or two risky runs. There was a mistake from Jaiswal. I thought he took a big risk. It was a very risky single, and that's why he lost his wicket. I won't blame Virat Kohli. It was Yashasvi Jaiswal's mistake.”
