Watch: Ben Stokes' Aggressive Celebration After Taking Yashasvi Jaiswal's Wicket
Yashasvi Jaiswal opened the innings for India and scored 87 runs from 107 balls in the first innings. During his stay at the crease, he hammered 13 fours.
Yashasvi Jaiswal was batting on 87 runs from 106 balls when a ball bowled by Ben Stokes kissed the edge of his bat and travelled straight to England wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith, who made no mistake and completed the catch.
After taking his first wicket of the first innings of the ongoing 2nd India-England Test, Stokes celebrated in an aggressive manner, and the clip of his charged-up celebration is now going viral on the internet.
By ending Jaiswal's fighting knock of 87 runs, Stokes not only broke the 66-run stand for the third wicket between him and Shubman Gill but also prevented Jaiswal from breaking multiple batting records.
Had Jaiswal survived and scored at least 13 more runs in the first innings, he would have equalled Sourav Ganguly's elite batting record of scoring centuries in the first two Test matches played on English soil.
Ganguly made his Test debut for India against England at Lord's on June 20, 1996, and scored 131 runs in the first innings. In the second Test played at Trent Bridge in Nottingham, Ganguly scored 136 runs in the first innings.
Jaiswal, who is India's highest-ranked Test batter, scored 101 runs from 109 balls in his first innings of the first Test played on English soil (Headingley in Leeds).
If Jaiswal had scored at least 97 runs in the first innings, he would have broken Sunil Gavaskar's 49-year-old record and become the fastest Indian batter to score 2000 runs in Test cricket. Jaiswal, after getting out on 87 runs, now has 1990 runs to his name in 39 innings of 21 Tests for India. Gavaskar crossed the 2000-run mark for India in his 23rd Test, which was played against the West Indies in Port of Spain in 1976.
Karun scored 31
Karun Nair came to out bat at No. 3 for India in the first innings of the ongoing second Test. The right-handed batter got off to a good start, but he failed to convert it into a big score. He was sent back to the pavilion by Josh Tongue in the first session. Harry Brook completed an easy catch of him in the slip.

Shubman Gill was eloquent, composed, and affable after securing his maiden Test victory as captain. Speaking to the press after India's historic win in Birmingham - their first-ever at Edgbaston - Gill lit up the room with well-timed, articulate responses. He was as assured at the microphone as he had been with the bat, amassing 430 runs across two innings to lead India's stirring comeback in the Anderson-Tendulkar had lost the series opener in Leeds despite scoring over 800 runs, as England chased down 371 in the fourth innings with their trademark aggressive flair. Heading into the second Test, the odds were firmly against Gill's side - India had never won a Test in Birmingham in nine previous stat had been brought up by a journalist when Gill addressed the media on the eve of the second Test. Having silenced doubters with a collective team performance - despite the absence of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah - Gill was in a light-hearted mood at the press conference on Sunday, 7 July."I can't see my favourite journalist. Where is he? I wanted to see him," Gill said, a friendly smile lighting up his face."I even said before the Test match that I don't really believe in history and stats. Over the last 56 years or so, we've played nine matches - different teams have come here. I believe we are the best team to have come here in England, and we have the capability to beat them, to win the series from here. If we keep making the right decisions and keep fighting, I think it would be one of the series to remember," he BUMRAH? NO PROBLEM, SAYS GILLIndia produced one of their most dominant away Test performances. Gill led from the front with scores of 269 and 161, shouldering the batting responsibility with maturity. He was well supported by Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant, who played crucial roles in India posting over 1,000 runs across the two bowling unit stepped up in Bumrah's absence. When it was announced that the fast-bowling talisman would be rested for Birmingham, many pundits wrote off India's chances. Notably, India had lost the Leeds Test despite Bumrah featuring in the Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj rose to the occasion, delivering one of the finest fast-bowling performances by an Indian duo on a flat English pitch. Akash finished with 10 wickets, becoming only the second Indian to achieve a 10-wicket match haul in a Test in England. Siraj had set the tone with a six-wicket haul in the first innings, helping India secure a crucial 180-run then completed the demolition, claiming six in the second innings as England folded for 271 while chasing an improbable underlined the team's confidence in its bowling strength, with or without Bumrah."I think I said this before the match as well - this Indian team is one of the best to have toured England. The best 16 are chosen to play for the country. I believe all our bowlers have the ability to chip in at any time and help us take 20 wickets. Definitely, Jasprit bhai is one of the best bowlers in the world. But regardless of that, any bowling unit of ours can take 20 wickets anywhere - and this was an example of that," Gill said.'I NEEDED TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE'advertisementHe also acknowledged the need to lead by example, particularly after having been critical of India's top order for failing to convert hundreds into match-defining knocks in Leeds - a game where four Indian batters crossed the three-figure mark, yet the team failed to was no such lapse this time. Gill's twin tons, combined with India's all-round effort, ensured there was no room for an English comeback."When you're the captain, I think you need to lead by example. So that whenever there's another player in that situation, you can command to that player that this is what the team requires right now - you have to put the team ahead rather than trying you put the team first, you always walk on the right path. That's what I wanted to do: If a good ball gets me out, it's okay, but as long as I am there, I want to stay as long as possible," he now head to the third Test at Lord's, starting 10 July, with momentum firmly in their favour. Gill confirmed that Bumrah, rested for the second Test, will return for the marquee clash at the Home of Cricket.- EndsYou May Also Like
