Yashasvi Jaiswal looks stunned after soft dismissal to Simon Harmer for 58 in IND vs SA 2025 2nd Test [Watch]

Yashasvi Jaiswal looked stunned after getting dismissed by Simon Harmer on Day 3 of the second Test between India and South Africa in Guwahati on Monday, November 24. Notably, the left-handed batter was taken by surprise as the ball stuck on the surface before heading towards him, leading to a soft dismissal.

The wicket came in the 33rd over of India’s first innings. Harmer bowled a short delivery on off, and the ball turned away after pitching. The ball went slower than Jaiswal’s expectation. There was extra bounce on offer, and the opening batter ended up playing it towards backward point at the last minute. Marco Jansen dived forward to complete the catch. As a result, Jaiswal perished for 58 runs off 97 balls, missing out on a big score. India lost their second wicket for 95.
