Anil Kumble blamed Yashasvi Jaiswal for his own run-out, saying the shot went straight to mid-off and there was no chance for a run.
Anil Kumble criticised Yashasvi Jaiswal for causing his own dismissal during the second Test against West Indies in Delhi. The incident occurred early on Day 2 when Jaiswal, batting on 175, drove Jayden Seales straight to mid-off and attempted a risky single. Shubman Gill refused the run, but Jaiswal was already halfway down the pitch and fell short after a sharp throw from Tagenarine Chanderpaul. The run-out ended his brilliant innings just 25 runs shy of a double century.

“It was Yashasvi Jaiswal’s fault. He wouldn’t have made it even to the non-striker’s end because it went straight to the mid-off fielder. There was absolutely no chance. The only doubt was whether the keeper had full control of the ball when the bails came off. But the umpire didn’t even refer it to the third umpire, and that to me was a bit of a surprise,” Kumble was quoted as saying by the Hindustan Times.
Ganga Calls Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Run-Out a Shared Error
Meanwhile, former West Indies cricketer Darren Ganga offered a balanced take, describing it as a shared error between both batters. He felt Jaiswal misjudged the single, while Shubman Gill could have reacted quicker instead of watching the ball.
“As a batter, sometimes when you’re on the move after playing a shot, you feel like you can make it. That was the case with Jaiswal, he felt he was already in motion and could get to the other end,” said Ganga. “But when I look back at the replay, I felt it was 50-50. It’s a risk he shouldn’t have taken, especially being well set at the start of a new day… From the coaching manual, you’d say the non-striker should respond to his partner, but Gill was ball watching. His delayed response left Jaiswal stranded,” Ganga opined.
Despite the mix-up, India dominated Day 2 of the Delhi Test. Gill scored an unbeaten 129 off 196 balls, guiding India to a strong 518/5 before declaring. West Indies ended the day at 140/4, trailing by 378 runs.
