Dejected Yashasvi Jaiswal suggests ball was missing leg after being adjudged lbw to Chris Woakes in ENG-L vs IND-A 2nd unofficial Test [Watch]
Star opener Yashasvi Jaiswal fell prey to a close lbw call in the unofficial Test between India A and England Lions in Northampton, which started on Friday, June 6. The left-hander departed departed for 17 runs off 26 deliveries as the visitors lost their first wicket for 28 runs.
The dismissal came in the 7th over of India A innings. Chris Woakes bowled a fuller length ball that kept its line and Jaiswal failed to lay his bat on the ball on time. The on-field umpire adjudged him out but Jaiswal felt that the ball was going down the leg side.
The 23-year-old stood there for a while making a hand gesture to the umpire regarding the close call. He then left the crease seemingly dejected at the decision. There is no DRS call option in practice games.

With the dismissal, Yashasvi Jaiswal failed to make the most of the practice game in his second outing in England ahead of the five-match series in England. He previously scored 24 and 64 in the first unofficial Test.
