 "Why Rohit Sharma left Yashasvi Jaiswal back at team hotel in Australia, hear from the horse's mouth")
India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal found himself left behind at the team hotel in Adelaide before the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in December last year. The incident happened when the team bus departed for the airport to travel to Brisbane for the match.
Jaiswal was reportedly late to assemble in the hotel lobby before departure, following which captain Rohit Sharma lost his cool and came out of the team bus, asking the logistics manager to look for him. After a short discussion, the bus left without Jaiswal, while a car was arranged later to take him to the airport.
Jaiswal reveals how Rohit reacted
Speaking about the incident on Raj Shamani’s YouTube channel, Jaiswal revealed what actually went down on that day and why he was late for departure. “Oh, I thought our arrival time was our departure time, so I got a little confused," Jaiswal said on the podcast.
When asked if he received a scolding from team management, Jaiswal said, “The scolding wasn’t that bad. I said, ‘Sir, it was a genuine mistake and I am very sorry.’ He said, ‘It’s okay, but be aware.’ He also said if I feel unsure, I can talk about it.”
Jaiswal revealed that Rohit took the matter lightly and even joked about it. “Rohit bhai was very funny in those moments as well - funny in a good way, like a little entertaining. He asked me to apologise to everyone,” he said.
Jaiswal added that he accepted responsibility for the delay. “When I saw the bus had left without me, I said, ‘Okay, fine, I deserved that and I accept the punishment. I should be on time. How could I miss it? I shouldn’t have missed it.’”
Even though the Indian team suffered a series defeat in Australia, Jaiswal personally had a good outing as he finished as the second-highest run-scorer with 391 runs in 10 innings, including a century. This tour also turned out to be the last Test series for stalwarts like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and R Ashwin.
