Yashasvi Jaiswal registers unwanted record with golden duck in Adelaide Test

India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for a golden duck by Australia pacer Mitchell Starc on the first day of the Adelaide Test. The Indian opener was pinned in front of his stumps on the first ball of the Test match.

The pacer bowled a superb in-swinger which struck Jaiswal in front of his leg stump and on-field umpire Chris Gaffaney wasted no time in lifting his finger up. The left-handed batter did have a long chat with his partner KL Rahul but eventually opted no to go for a review.

This is the first time that Jaiswal has been dismissed for a golden duck in his Test career. With this, he only became the seventh Indian opening batter to be dismissed for a golden duck in Test cricket, joining the likes of Sunil Gavaskar, Sudhir Naik, WV Raman, Shiv Sunder Das, Wasim Jaffer and KL Rahul.

This is the third time that Starc has taken a wicket on the very first ball of a Test match, becoming only the second bowler after West Indies’ Pedro Collins to do so.

With the wicket, the Australian pacer also completed his revenge over Jaiswal, who had mocked him ibn the first Test by saying that he was bowling too slow.
