India’s young star Yashasvi Jaiswal reportedly missed the team bus while traveling to Brisbane. According to reports, the team waited for approximately 20 minutes before departing without him.
Captain Rohit Sharma was visibly frustrated by the delay. To resolve the situation, the Indian team management arranged a separate car for Jaiswal, who was accompanied to the airport by a senior officer.
The team had been scheduled to leave the International Hotel at 8:30 a.m. for their 10 a.m. flight. While the rest of the squad assembled on time, Jaiswal’s absence caused a brief disruption.
He was later spotted practicing in the Brisbane nets alongside Nitish Reddy and Rohit Sharma.

Indian star bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who skipped the Adelaide practice session for rest, returned in top form and bowled to KL Rahul, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli focused on refining his backfoot play and practiced leaving deliveries outside the off-stump.
