West skipper Rahane sends his teammate Jaiswal for sledging rival batter
Coimbatore (PTI): West zone skipper Ajinkya Rahane on Sunday set an example when he ordered his teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal out of the field after the prolific batter did not budge from sledging South zone batter Ravi Teja on the final day of the Duleep trophy title clash.
Jaiswal had a great time with the bat in the match as he smashed a brilliant double century to set up West Zone's big win but his act of sledging did not go down well with his captain.
South batter Teja had apparently complained about the verbal volleys that Jaiswal was consistently firing at him as he was fielding close to the bat.
After being spoken to earlier, Jaiswal came under fire again in the 57th over when the on-field umpire complained about the young batter's alleged annoying behaviour.
Jaiswal appeared to be animated when Rahane had a word with him with regard to his actions. Rahane asked him to leave the field, leaving West Zone with 10 men on the field.
Jaiswal returned to the field after being away for seven overs.
He was later declared man of the match after West won by 294 runs.

Delhi govt likely to conduct trail for artificial rain in May to combat pollution: Minister
New Delhi, Apr 3 (PTI): The Delhi government is likely to conduct a trial for artificial rain in May as part of its efforts to tackle air pollution, Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said on Thursday.
The trial will be carried out in an area in outer Delhi, with the final site selection to be made by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and IIT Kanpur, he said.
Sirsa said the plan is part of a broader strategy to tackle pollution using multiple methods.
“This is a war against pollution and we are working on various measures, with artificial rain being one of them. Before implementing it on a large scale, we will try to conduct a trial in May when summer is at its peak,” he added.
He further said, “We have asked for detailed reports to determine whether the chemicals used in cloud seeding could have any harmful effects on human health or the environment."
Based on the findings, we will conduct a small-scale test and analyze water samples. If the trial is successful, we will expand the project across Delhi during periods of severe pollution, the environment minister said.
