Yashasvi Jaiswal, India’s young and promising opener, faced a tough day at the office during the second Test of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. On Day 1 in Adelaide, the 22-year-old was dismissed for a golden duck by Mitchell Starc, continuing a mix of highs and lows in this series.

Mitchell Starc’s Quick Revenge

The dismissal came on the very first ball of the match. Mitchell Starc bowled a full delivery that angled in sharply and swung late, trapping Jaiswal plumb in front of the stumps. The umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger, and Jaiswal walked back without troubling the scoreboard.

This dismissal marked Starc’s second instance of dismissing Jaiswal for a duck in the series. In the first Test, Starc had also sent him back for a zero in the first innings before Jaiswal silenced critics with a magnificent 161 in the second innings, helping India secure a 295-run win.

From “Too Slow” to Too Quick

Jaiswal’s dismissal was particularly ironic for fans, as the young batter had taunted Starc during his second-innings heroics in the first Test, calling the veteran pacer “too slow.” Starc responded in style in Adelaide, with a delivery that proved to be too quick and precise for the opener.

Fans React on Social Media

The cricket community on social media, especially on X (formerly Twitter), was quick to react to Jaiswal’s golden duck. Fans trolled the youngster for his earlier comments and his inability to back them up in this innings.
