Too slow? Mitchell Starc has ‘sledge’ revenge on Yashasvi Jaiswal, gets wicket on first ball of IND vs AUS 2nd Test

It is now three times that Mitchell Starc has taken a wicket off a first ball of a Test match.

Remember when Yashasvi Jaiswal poked Mitchell Starc in the second innings of the Perth Test? Well, the mighty Australian has shown who the real “boss” is. The left-arm pacer made the entire Adelaide crowd stand up to their feet as he enjoyed a rollicking start, trapping Yashasvi Jaiswal on the first ball of the second India vs Australia Test.

IND vs AUS: Another duck for Jaiswal, Starc cock-a-hoop

Yashasvi Jaiswal started the BGT series with a duck when he slashed one hard straight to the slip cordon in Perth. However, he quickly made amends, scoring a match-winning century in the second innings. During that knock, there was a moment where the southpaw slegded Starc, telling him that the Australian is bowling “too slow” for him. While Starc smiled it past him at that moment, the 34-year-old waited for his chance.

In a moment of elation, Starc dismissed Jaiswal on the first ball of the pink-ball Adelaide Test. He bowled a quicker one onto the pads, to which Jaiswal failed to get a piece of a bat. He thought of taking a review, but KL Rahul knew he was gone. Incredibly, this started India’s hunt for 2-0 glory on the worst possible note. Shubman Gill, meanwhile, returned to the team and has looked solid at number three so far.
