Former India cricketer Sanjay Bangar believes Yashasvi Jaiswal’s dismissal in the ongoing fifth Test against England was the result of the left-handed opener missing a straight delivery while covering his off-stump.

Jaiswal began the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series with an impactful century at Headingley. But he is now on the verge of ending a series on a low note after being trapped lbw for just two by a full wobble-seam delivery from pacer Gus Atkinson at The Oval. 

“Generally, the sense is that when bowlers come around the wicket, batters tend to cover their stumps throughout. Now, the margin for error if you miss the ball is very, very small. That’s why I belong to the school of thought that you can get up to the middle stump.
