Team India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's chat with captain Shubman Gill went viral on stump mic on day one of the opening Test against England at the Headingley, Leeds. With Jaiswal on strike at the time, the 23-year-old was heard talking to his captain as they discussed about co-ordinating their running between the wickets.
Jaiswal, who is coming off a highly successful tour of Australia, has made his mark on the first day of the Test series against England. The Uttar Pradesh-born cricketer slammed a hundred off only 144 deliveries, taking advantage of the batting-friendly conditions on day one at Headingley. In the process, the youngster also became the first Indian opener to slam a hundred at the venue.
Watch the below video as their conversation goes as:
"Haan haan bolte rehna bas, meri aadat hai aage jaane ki. Mereko zor se no boldo chalega, meri aadat hai lekin." (I have a habit of moving forward, so you can tell me no loudly.
After the left-hander negotiated a short-pitched delivery and Gill denied a run, Jaiswal screamed:
"Arey aa jaao yaar. Bhaiya yaar." (Bhaiya, you could have come).
However, Jaiswal's wicket was claimed by Ben Stokes for 101 in the very first over he sent down after tea.
England captain Ben Stokes had won the toss and opted to field first
