Divya Delhi: Ravichandran Ashwin intervened for rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal in his recent X account video, explaining that Duke ball is not a red ball, as most critics fail to understand. Despite leading the Headingley test, India struggled on the slip cordon. Yashasvi Jaiswal, striking well with the bat but losing three catches off Jasprit Bhumrah's bowling, came under fire online from fans, but Ravichandran Ashwin appears unconcerned. His slip cordon catching has been discussed. It's been hard for him. Let's be understanding and give him some leeway... Duke's ball feel and cold weather are factors. Ashwin said it may take time to adjust. The Kookaburra feels smaller and the SG ball feels good in the hand. The Duke's is harder and feels bigger from the field, making it difficult. He's one of India's best slip fielders. Ashwin suggested giving him some time because to his recent impressive catches.
