"Brings back the memory of catch by Lakhan in Lagaan" - Fans react as Yashasvi Jaiswal takes sharp catch on Day 4 of ENG vs IND 2025 3rd Test

Team India's Yashasvi Jaiswal took a sharp catch at gully to dismiss England opener Zak Crawley on Day 4 (Sunday, July 13) of the ongoing Lord's Test in London. The 23-year-old was subjected to a lot of flak after putting down four catches in India's five-wicket defeat in the Test series opener at Headingley, Leeds.

Jaiswal was taken out of the gully and slip cordon for the subsequent Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham. However, he redeemed himself by plucking out a stunning catch in England's second innings of the ongoing contest.

The dismissal came in the morning session, during the 15th over of the innings. Crawley went for a drive off pacer Nitish Reddy's bowling. The ball took the outside edge of the bat, and Jaiswal completed a fine catch to end the batter's knock.

Crawley departed after scoring 22 runs off 49 deliveries. Several fans reacted to Jaiswal's catch by sharing funny posts on social media.
