West Zone’s Mumbai opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, 20, was sent off the field by his captain Ajinkya Rahane on the final day of the Duleep Trophy against South Zone at Coimbatore on Sunday. Jaiswal, at close-in, was heard sledging South batsman Ravi Teja, who had apparently complained about consistent verbal volleys. Rahane then ordered Jaiswal to leave the field.
Jaiswal emerged the top run-getter in the tournament with 497 from three games, which included two double centuries. It is learnt that Rahane asked his young batsman to, “go inside for sometime, take some rest, cool down and then come back again after a few overs.” Reacting to the incident after the match, Rahane said: “I believe in always respecting your opponents, umpires and match officials. So you have to handle certain incidents in a certain manner.”
