Too slow? Mitchell Starc responds to Jaiswal sledge in style in pink-ball Test
It's getting spicier in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. With his first delivery in the second Test of the much-talked-about series, Mitchell Starc told the world he is still one of the best, especially when it comes to operating with the pink ball. The senior Australian fast bowler responded to a much-publicised sledge from Yashasvi Jaiswal in style, sending the young batter back to the pavilion for a golden duck.
Mitchell Starc struck with the first delivery of the pink-ball Test match, getting the big wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal. Starc swung the ball from the leg-stump line and allowed it to straighten and hit the pads. Yashasvi, who was looking to cover the line, moved across, but missed the delivery completely.
Yashasvi looked distraught as he was shaking his head in frustration while walking back to the dressing room. On the other side, Mitchell Starc was pumped up, having made a huge statement early in the second Test match. Yashasvi did not even ask for a review as he started walking back after a brief discussion with his opening partner, KL Rahul.
