Apart from Labuschagne’s catch, Jaiswal had also dropped two more catches on Day 4. The first one got dropped was during the third over of the innings. This was when Usman Khawaja edged a ball off Jasprit Bumrah towards the leg gully. Khawaja also got dismissed by Siraj after he had scored 21 runs.
The third dropped catch was of captain Pat Cummins. Ravindra Jadeja was bowling that time, and Jaiswal was at silly point. Cummins defended he ball, but did not have control. He was not in a good position and the ball slipped out of his hands yet again. If he had stayed low, the catch might have been secured.
