After defeat in the first Test, Team India are reportedly set to make some vital changes to their field placements for the second Test against England at Edgbaston. India dropped several catches – Yashasvi Jaiswal being the main culprit with four dropped chances – playing a major role in their defeat. Ahead of the second Test, journalists present in England have reported that India are switching up the fielding positions of their players, with a brand new slip cordon set to shape up.
In the first Test, arguably Jaiswal’s biggest blunder was dropping Harry Brook at third slip. In what should’ve been a regulation catch, Brook was put down on 82 in the first innings.
Jaiswal also dropped Ben Duckett twice and Ollie Pope once. The duo went on to make centuries.
