India suffered a defeat at Headingley as England took a 1-0 lead in the series. Despite Yashasvi Jaiswal's impressive century on the first day, the 23-year-old struggled in the field, dropping four catches during the match. This made him the first Indian cricketer to drop four catches in a Test innings. Following this, an old video resurfaced showing Jaiswal dropping three catches during the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir defended Jaiswal, stating that dropped catches happen even to the best fielders and are not intentional. Jasprit Bumrah also acknowledged the challenges of fielding, especially in cold weather conditions. Former India off-spinner R Ashwin urged fans and critics to be understanding of Jaiswal's difficulties, emphasizing the challenges of catching in different conditions and with different types of balls.
