Information
An early dismissal for Jaiswal versus Gujarat
Jaiswal was dismissed by pacer Mohammed Siraj in the opening over. A back of a length ball angling into the left-hander had no room on offer for Jaiswal. Keen to score runs, he shaped for the pull and was cramped up, miscuing the ball over to backward square leg.
