IND vs ENG: Kevin Pietersen's prediction comes true as Joe Root dismisses set Jaiswal in 1st over of Day 2

India TV News  

India got off to a poor start on the second day of the first Test in Hyderabad against England with the half-centurion of the first day, Yashasvi Jaiswal getting out in the very first over on Friday, January 26. However, Root, who didn't bowl a single over on the first day got the big wicket of Jaiswal, who was late into his shot while driving towards the off-side and ended up handing a simple catch to the bowler. Many were surprised that England skipper Ben Stokes didn't hand Root the ball on the first day when Jaiswal was going after the left-arm spin duo of Tom Hartley and Jack Leach but rectified his mistake in the very first over on the second day and was rewarded. "I thought England missed a trick by not using Joe Root because he's someone you can really turn the ball, and he has a good action. Apart from Jaiswal, England got the wicket of Shubman Gill as well in the first hour before KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer and Ravindra Jadeja led India's batting effort in the first innings.
