Watch: Yashasvi Jaiswal Nearly Hits Sarfaraz Khan With Ball, Virat Kohli Does This During India vs NZ Test
On Day 2 of the 3rd India vs New Zealand Test, a funny incident happened when a stray throw from Yashasvi Jaiswal nearly hit Sarfaraz Khan
The second day of the third India vs New Zealand Test in Mumbai presented an intriguing contest. While the visitors were nine wickets down, their lead is 143 runs. On a tricky Mumbai pitch in the fourth innings, it will not be easy for Rohit Sharma and co. to chase down even a low target. Once again Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja worked their magic, sharing seven wickets between them. While Jadeja grabbed four, Ashwin got three. The support from the fielders was also good.Â
In the midst of this, a funny incident happened when a stray throw from Yashasvi Jaiswal nearly hit Sarfaraz Khan. Virat Kohli couldn't stop smiling after the incident in the 26th over of the innings.Â
