Tasked to chase a record target of 209, the India Cricket Team had a poor start. Ruturaj Gaikwad was involved in a horrible mix-up with batting partner Yashasvi Jaiswal as the former got dismissed on a Diamond duck. Much to the disappointment of the Indian fans, the youngster was blamed for his poor judgment calls after repeating a similar against Ireland back in August.

Ruturaj Gaikwad Dismissal
India wished for a great start but unfortunately, that did not happen. Young batter Yashasvi Jaiswal was involved in a horrible mix-up that caused Ruturaj Gaikwad to be dismissed on a diamond duck. In a game where Ruturaj Gaikwad could have possibly showcased his mark, was unfortunately scalped off without facing a delivery.
It was Yashasvi who had to take the blame for his poor judgment call. Jaiswal after meekly taking a first single run, called for a big no, while he was halfway on course to finish a second run.
Who is on the receiving end? poor Ruturaj Gaikwas. The Indian vice-captain tried his best but failed to reach back to his crease and had to walk a long way back to his pavilion.
