Rohit Sharma left 'distraught' as Yashasvi Jaiswal pays the price for ignoring captain's instructions

When Day 4 began with Yashasvi Jaiswal and India captain Rohit Sharma looking to build on their overnight stand of 40 runs to help the hosts chase the remainder of the 152 runs in Ranchi against England in the fourth Test, the broadcasters played a clip showing how the veteran batter guided the youngster during the final hour of the day's play on Sunday. It was perhaps why he was completely “distraught”, as commentator Dinesh Karthik put it, at watching Jaiswal throw his perfect start away on Monday after the left-hander disobeyed his instruction. Rohit Sharma was completely unhappy with Yashasvi Jaiswal not following his instructions Jaiswal looked well set to complete a fifth half-century score in the series, which would have been the joint-most by a player in a contest against England, but Joe Root provided the visitors with a crucial breakthrough as he got rid of the India opener in the first hour of Day 4. When broadcasters later replayed the video of the dismissal, it showed how upset Rohit was with Jaiswal's shot selection as he rebuked him first before banging his bat on his own bat in disappointment.
