The first Test between India and Bangladesh is starting in Chennai on 19 September and even before that, the team's opener Yashasvi Jaiswal seems to be in big trouble. According to reports coming from Chennai, Yashasvi Jaiswal's form seems to be very bad. This left-handed batsman came to the practice session on Monday and fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah gave him a hard time. According to reports, not only Jaspreet Bumrah but also the net bowlers troubled Yashasvi Jaiswal. The trouble was so much that Virat Kohli had to come to Yashasvi's aid.

What happened to Yashasvi Jaiswal?

According to the PTI report, Jasprit Bumrah and other fast bowlers bowled to Yashasvi Jaiswal in the nets. The practice took place on a red soil pitch where the ball comes out very fast and there is more bounce. Bumrah took full advantage of this pitch and this fast bowler troubled Yashasvi a lot. Bumrah beat Yashasvi a lot outside the off stump and after this, he also bowled him twice. Jaiswal did not look in form at all and this player was troubled not only by Bumrah but also by the net bowlers. Simarjit Singh, Gurnur Brar, and Gurjanpreet Singh did not let Yashasvi Jaiswal bat properly.

Virat came forward to help.

Virat Kohli was also practicing batting next to Yashasvi Jaiswal's nets. When this player saw Yashasvi upset, he talked to this young player. He told him what mistake he was making. Apart from Yashasvi, Virat Kohli also practiced batting for an hour and both played about 50 balls. By the way, Jaiswal looked quite comfortable against the spinners and he played good cut shots in the off-side area.

Jaiswal not being in form is a warning signal.

Yashasvi Jaiswal not being in form is not good news for Team India. Jaiswal bats freely and if Bangladesh gets his wicket early, then obviously their morale will be high. By the way, Yashasvi Jaiswal could not perform well in the Duleep Trophy as well. Jaiswal played innings of 30 and 9 runs for India B.

However, the good thing about this player is that he does not miss out on scoring runs in international cricket. Jaiswal's Test career confirms this. Jaiswal has scored 1028 runs in just 9 Tests, which includes 3 centuries. It is expected that Jaiswal's struggle during practice was only due to a bad day.
