'There was absolutely no chance...': Anil Kumble feels Yashasvi Jaiswal is the one to blame for his run-out in 2nd Test vs West Indies

India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal lost out on a big chance to score his third double-hundred in Test cricket as he got dismissed for 175 runs during Day 2 of the second Test against West Indies. The wicket came after there was a terrible mix-up between Jaiswal and Gill that led to the latter sending the former back after he was over half-way across his crease. Jaiswal wasn't able to make it back in time as a good throw from Tagenarine Chanderpaul saw his innings come to an end.

Kumble's verdict on the dismissal

The run-out bacame a major talking point with many blaming Gill for the dismissal as he took a lot of time to back out from the run. However, Kumble feels that Jaiswal himself is the one to blame as there was no chance of a run in that situation. However, he also questioned why the umpires didn't send the decision upwards as it wasn't clear whether the wicketkeeper had full control of the ball while he dislodged the bails.

“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 said on JioHotstar.

“His approach today was slightly different. I thought he would go back to his yesterday morning’s first session mindset, but he continued from where he left off last evening. That to me was a bit of a surprise. He was set for a long, long innings," he added.

India post mammoth total

Meanwhile, despite Jaiswal's dismissal coming early during the second day, India went on to post a humongous first-inning total of 518/5 thanks to a brilliant century from Gill. The India captain remained unbeaten on 129 while Nitish Kumar Reddy and Dhruv Jurel played valiant knocks of 43 and 44 respectively as India declared the innings during the second session.

On the other hand, West Indies didn't have a great start to their innings as they lost opener John Campbell for just 10 runs to Ravindra Jadeja, restricting them to 21/2. A partnership between Chanderpaul and Alick Athanaze provided some stability to the side, but it was Jadeja who once again got the hosts of the breakthrough. He dismissed Chanderpaul for 34 runs, leaving the visitors on 87/2. It remains to be seen how far the West Indies manage to take their total by the end of day's play.
