Wednesday's Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy clash between Mumbai and Kerala saw veteran pacer Shantakumaran Sreesanth and emerging batsman face off against each or in what promised to be an exciting contest between bat and ball.

Sreesanth taken to cleaners by Yashasvi Jaiswal

incident happened during sixth over of first innings. Kerala speedster who was bowling his third over ended up beating Jaiswal with a brilliant delivery that was bowled outside off-stump as youngster attempted to deposit him into stands. Once batsman was beaten, senior bowler went to him and sledged him. However, little did Sree kw at that point in time what was in store for him.

On following delivery, fast bowler bowled on same line but this time Jaiswal was well prepared as he had taken a stance across stumps and once ball pitched outside off stump, he heaved his bat towards mid-wicket boundary as ball ended up in stands. Things did t end re as young batsman still had a point to prove.

On next delivery, Sreesanth attempted a bouncer which was pulled away towards leg-side and was once again deposited in stands.  After having conceded 12 runs from two deliveries, 2011 World Cup winner tried to deceive batsman by bowling on his pads but Mumbai opener was too smart for him as he flicked ball towards leg-side boundary and scored four more runs. Thus, tear away fast bowler ended up giving away 16 runs off three deliveries.
