Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar, discussing on ESPNcricinfo, analyzed Jaiswal's innings. He highlighted the 23-year-old's desire to score a century and how comfortable he looked against Australia's pacers,

The two former India cricketers Irfan Pathan and Sanjay Manjrekar, did not agree with each other's point of view.

Young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was run out for 82 after a terrible mix-up with senior partner Virat Kohli in the final session of Day 2 at the MCG. Jaiswal missed a well-deserved hundred at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli’s hard work with the bat was undone after a slight miscommunication resulted in an unfortunate runout of the former, ending their 102-run partnership for the third wicket in India’s first innings of the Boxing Day Test.

"[Virat] Kohli sahab looking absolutely switched on today which means a run out is inevitable before the end of day's play," Many Pilani said.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli's 102-run partnership ended in a brutal fashion through run-out, which triggered a batting collapse. Sanjay Manjrekar blamed the veteran for being selfish at the non-striker's end.

Sunil Gavaskar said that although it was a "risky single," Virat Kohli would have made his ground had he run on Yashasvi Jaiswal's call.

Tempers flared today between Sanjay Manjrekar and Irfan Pathan following a discussion on the mix-up between Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal which led to Jaiswal getting run out at 82. Both Indian batters looked in good form before the incident happened and it seemed Virat Kohli had left behind his knack for fiddling with the outside off ball.
