The Indian team, which was scheduled to leave for Brisbane from Adelaide yesterday morning (December 11) for the upcoming third Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), was surprisingly left without a player, a Sportstak report claimed.

What happened was that while all the players were expected to arrive at 8.30 am (local time) at the hotel lobby to depart, the young and talented batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal was missing.

Jaiswal, who is usually known for being a punctual person, was late and finally reached the lobby 20 minutes after the bus had already left.

While the reason for his delay is still unclear, the lack of discipline reportedly did not go down well with captain Rohit.

It is now learned that India captain Rohit Sharma was upset over Jaiswal’s absence and even asked the team’s logistics manager to look for him.

“The coach and the team’s security officer also got off the bus. After a brief discussion, everyone sat in the bus and left without Yashasvi Jaiswal,” the report said.

“The team management had arranged a car for him, and the team’s senior security officer left with Yashasvi in ​​the car for the airport,” the report added.

The Indian team will enter the third Test on the back of a defeat after succumbing in the second BGT Test in Adelaide. The series is now balanced at 1-1 after India had already won the first match in Perth.

The Gabba Test will definitely bring back memories of the 2020-21 series where Rishabh Pant’s heroics ensured India broke through the fortress after a 32-year unbeaten run by the Australians and they hope to do an encore this time too.
