Overview
- Yashasvi Jaiswal fell for 13 on Day 4, edging a short, wide ball from left‑armer Marco Jansen to wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne.
- The dismissal was Jaiswal’s seventh in Tests while attempting the cut shot and his third to Jansen in this series, reinforcing a left‑arm pace matchup problem.
- Dale Steyn advised Jaiswal to temporarily curb the cut, citing Sachin Tendulkar’s decision to bin the cover drive in Sydney as a model for discipline.
- Anil Kumble called the shot avoidable, pointing to backward weight transfer and an illusion of width against short‑of‑length bowling as technical faults.
- India closed at 27/2 chasing 549, making victory implausible and a draw arduous after South Africa’s win in the first Test, despite Jaiswal’s first‑innings 58 and early‑career milestone of 20 fifty‑plus scores before 24.
