Notably, Ravindra Jadeja became the third Indian batter to miss a possible century after being controversially removed. Joe Root delivered an off-spin shot that slid on and smacked Jadeja on the front pad as he came forward to defend. There was much discussion about the ball’s impact, which caused the audience to yell.
opening test match of the five-match series between India and England is now taking place at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. England scored 246 runs in the first innings, to India’s 436 runs thanks to contributions from Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who hit 87, 86, and 80 runs apiece.
When the ball was between the bat and the pad, UltraEdge displayed a spike. Marais Erasmus, the third umpire, asked for a leg-side perspective but was only given the front-on view. “I can’t determine if it’s bat first,” said the TV umpire.
Ball-tracking was used to determine the impact near the off-stump, with the ball just missing the top of the stumps. The on-field decision was upheld, and Jadeja failed to reach a century and was removed from the game as the third Indian batsman to be removed in the 80s of the innings.
With seven fours and two sixes in his outstanding effort, Jadeja had a fantastic innings. He forged important alliances, initially with Axar Patel and later with KS Bharat, which greatly aided India’s impressive result. Axar contributed significantly to India’s innings, hitting 44 off 100 balls with seven fours and one six to give them a commanding 190-run advantage.
With the ball, Root was outstanding for England, claiming four significant wickets. Rehan Ahmed and Tom Hartley both contributed significantly, albeit at a high cost—taking two wickets apiece. Following Jadeja’s departure, fans took to social media to share their thoughts and views. They praised Jadeja’s efforts and bemoaned his unfortunate removal.
Social media responded to Ravindra Jadeja’s firing in the following ways:
