India batter appears to anger Aussie players after accidentially clipping a cricket ball into their team huddle, before getting out to Mitchell Starc with the same shot

Despite his prolific start to this summer's Border-Gavaskar Test series, Yashavsi Jaiswal has underwhelmed of late and was once again dismissed by Mitchell Starc on Monday. Even after he had appeared to sledge Starc during the first Test, claiming that he was bowling 'too slow', the India opener has since been dismissed three times by Starc, leaving the crease on Monday for four runs.

It came in rather unusual circumstances, with the 22-year-old batter seen warming up ahead of India's first innings close to the boundary line at the Gabba. A coach was seen throwing a ball to the youngster, who appeared to clip a ball off to his right side and into the Australian team's huddle.

Cummins and Co were yet to step out onto the oval for the innings but after hearing a shout go up that the ball was flying towards them, they squatted down and covered their hands with their heads. Yashavsi Jaiswal appeared to clip a cricket ball into a huddle of Australia's players ahead of India's innings on Monday.

The 22-year-old indian batter was receiving throwdowns from a coach before he clipped the ball toward the huddle. The Australian players ducked and raised their hands over their heads after a call went up. Luckily no one appeared injured after the incident, with Michael Vaughan joking: 'That's one way of getting ahead of the game... he's just trying to take out Mitchell Starc before the game starts.'.
