Despite the pressure, Sunil Gavaskar was disappointed by Jaiswal’s attempt to flick a length ball that wasn’t even a half-volley, as it resulted in a simple catch to Mitchell Marsh at short midwicket on Day 3 in the ongoing third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Brisbane.

Reflecting on his wicket, Sunil Gavaskar criticized Jaiswal for not being more practical at the crease. The commentator mentioned that the ball was still new, and the opening batter’s job was to see off that crucial period, not go after a risky shot.

His dismissal for just 4 runs in such a pressure situation raised many eyebrows, with Michael Vaughan also slamming Yashasvi for not showing maturity with his approach, as he should have tried to solidify the innings rather than playing an unnecessary shot in the crucial Gabba Test.

Gavaskar signed off by saying, “It's all very well to be positive, but you also got to be practical, and the ball is new. It's the first over; you can't be looking to score 25 runs in the first over. It wasn't even a half volley. I can understand if it was a half volley. Sometimes you're not able to keep it along the ground. That I can totally understand. It wasn't even a half volley. It was a length ball, and you were never going to be able to keep that ball down.”
