WATCH: Yashasvi Jaiswal's Wicket Falls After Mix-Up with Virat Kohli

On Day 2 of the fourth Test match between Australia and India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday, Virat Kohli and batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal got into a disastrous misunderstanding. Virat Kohli and Yaashasvi Jaiswal had a strong connection that helped to stabilize the innings after Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul left early in the first innings.

Before Jaiswal was dismissed as a result of the incident, the two scored 102 runs for the third wicket. Scott Boland bowled the last ball of the 41st over, and that's when it all happened. The dismissal of Jaiswal for 82 runs in 118 deliveries, possibly missing a well-earned century, was the result of a misunderstanding between Kohli and Jaiswal towards the close of day two.

Costliest miscommunication between Jaiswal and Kohli:

This was one of the heaviest blows to Team India. Jaiswal called for a signal as soon as he clipped a delivery in the middle. But Kohli was slow to respond to the call because he didn't know where the fielder was. Jaiswal clipped the ball towards mid-on and tried to make a rapid run while facing Scott Boland. However, Jaiswal had already almost reached the non-striker's end when Kohli went back to look at the fielder, and his indecision was sufficient to dismiss him.

Jaiswal was stuck in no man's land, and there was a total misunderstanding at the time. Alex Carey completed the task after Pat Cummins delivered the ball in the direction of the striker. The match went from bad to worse for the Indian team as Scott Boland sent Virat Kohli back into the hut shortly after Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed.

After a disciplined stay at the crease, Kohli tried to push a ball outside the off stump, but he got a thin edge as the ball went into the hands of keeper Alex Carey, walking back for 36 off in 86. At the end of day two at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the visitors were 164-5, still 310 runs behind after Australia was out for 474 shortly after lunch on the strength of Steve Smith's stylish 140.
