Why Yashasvi Jaiswal said ‘sorry’ after winning the Player of the Match award | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Talented India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is swiftly mastering the game and displaying a fearless approach. The 21-year-old, who scored 21 runs in the opening T20I against Australia, played an aggressive innings of 53 runs off 25 balls against Australia in the second T20 International. The left-hander struck nine fours and two sixes to give India a rollicking start.
Yashasvi stitched 77 runs with Ruturaj Gaikwad(58) for the opening wicket before getting out in the sixth over.India posted a mammoth 235 for 4 and restricted Australia to 191 for 9 to register a 44-run win and go 2-0 up in the five-match series.

For his whirlwind knock, the 21-year-old Mumbai batsman was adjudged Man of the Match.

After receiving the Man of the Match award, Yashasvi apologised to Ruturaj. He said sorry for a mix-up with Ruturaj in the first T20I in Visakhapatnam, which led to the right-hander’s run-out.

“It was my mistake. I went to him and said sorry. (Marcus) Stoinis was between me, I was sure but then not sure. I made the wrong call. It was my mistake in the last game. I accepted my mistake. Rutu bhai is so humble and very caring,” Yashasvi said during the post-match presentation.
“I accepted that it was a mistake and it happens. Rutu bhai was humble and said in the gym that next time we are running, we will take secure singles,” he said.
India, who are leading the five-match series 2-0, will take on Australia in the third match at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday.
