Yashasvi Jaiswal may have enjoyed adulation during his debut Test innings on English soil having scored a brilliant century but by the end of the contest, the fans turned on him. Jaiswal scored 101 off 159 after India were put in to bat first in the first Test at Headingley that concluded with their five-wicket defeat to England on Tuesday. While India’s batting collapses and listless bowling took the brunt of crticisim, their fielding also came under severe scrutiny.

Through the course of the five days, India dropped as many as eight catches that allowed England to limit the first innings deficit to just six runs and left a toiling Jasprit Bumrah frustrated. It was Bumrah’s brilliance that despite the lack of support from his fielding unit, he managed to take a five-for in England’s first dig.

India endured a second lower-order batting collapse in the series opener which meant England were left chasing 371, a target they achieved in some style to take 1-0 lead in the five-match series. India became the first team in Test history to lose a match despite hitting five centuries – two from Rishabh Pant and on each from KL Rahul, Shubman Gill and Jaiswal.

The Gill-led side thus began their campaign in the latest ICC World Test Championship cycle with a defeat. The tourists now have a week to recover from the loss and plot their comeback at Edgbaston – the venue of the second Test.
