India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal failed to deliver with the bat on Day 4 of the third Test against England at Lord's on Sunday, July 13. The left-handed batter was caught behind by wicketkeeper Jamie Smith for a seven-ball duck by Jofra Archer in a modest 193 chase. This was his second failure in the match after being dismissed for 13 by the same bowler in the first innings.

Jaiswal has failed to deliver for India in the second innings of the Test series against England, returning with scores of 4, 28, and 0 (today) in the first three games. The left-hander, though, scored 101 and 87 in the first innings of the first two Tests at Headingley and Edgbaston, respectively.

Fans on X slammed Yashasvi Jaiswal for his poor shot selection in the run chase. One user shared a meme that read:

"Stupid, stupid, stupid."

Another user wrote:

"Someone needs to teach Jaiswal about maturity. There is no need to go aggressive at this stage. Need to value his wicket and give momentum to India."

A third user commented:

"Man Jaiswal needs to mature. He is playing for a long time now."
