After Day 2, India maintained their lead in the second Test after a brilliant innings from Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravindra Jadeja. With a brilliant century, the Indian captain helped to set a target of 518/5. However, Jaiswal, who was batting on 175 at the time, was run out in the opening hour of the day. Specifically, Jaiswal had run more than halfway when the Indian skipper did not commit. The throw from Tagenarine Chanderpaul was close to perfect. The left-handed batter was seen slamming his head in frustration and had words with Gill following the incident.

Yashasvi Jaiswal reflected on the run-out

“I always try to play as long as I can. If I'm there, I should just take the game forward and play as long as I can. It's (his run-out) part of the game, so it's fine. There is always a thought that what I can achieve and what can be my goal and my team's goal, I just try and be in the game and make sure if I'm in, I should take it long. I was trying to get in, so there was a bit of movement, but when I was in the middle, I was thinking that maybe I'll bat for one hour and then it will be easy for me to score. The wicket is still pretty good, we are bowling very well, we will be seeing as quickly as we can get to them and get them again." Jaiswal said.

The confusion was not Shubman Gill's fault since the captain had made no effort to respond to Jaiswal's call. It was an unnecessary gamble, especially this early in the day.

In any case, Jaiswal was given a standing ovation from the Delhi crowd. After registering his seventh Test hundred on Friday, he converted again into a big score, reaching 150 for the fifth time in his career. His 175 is now the fourth time an Indian Test batter has reached that score only to end in a run out. Sanjay Manjrekar holds the top spot for getting out run out for 219 against Pakistan in Lahore back in 1989.

Despite Jaiswal's unfortunate falling, India kept on scoring freely.
