By Former cricket players are actively debating Jaiswal’s run-out, which is receiving a lot of attention.
Cricket Rulebook:
The unspoken rule is that the other batter must trust the caller and run with his head down without giving it much thought.
But Kohli took the exact opposite action. His most serious offence was eyeing the ball instead of believing Jaiswal’s call, which led to an unlucky runout.
Sanjay Manjrekar accuses Virat Kohli
In his on-air reaction to Jaiswal’s runout, veteran India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar accused Kohli of being greedy for dismissing the southpaw, claiming that it was the final ball of the over and that he could have intended to retain the strike to himself.
Irfan Pathan’s Response
Irfan Pathan responded to this by stating there was no chance of a run. Although it could appear that just one player was at fault, the striker was equally accountable because the run was not available. If you pay great attention, you can see that Cummins knew the run wasn’t accessible since he threw the ball so easily. In this case, a run-out would have undoubtedly occurred if both hitters had ran.
Finally, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 82 runs off 118 balls in the opening innings of the 4th Test at the MCG. However, Virat Kohli was dismissed for 36 runs off 86 balls.
