Jadeja fined 25 pc of match fee for using ointment in Australia Test

DUBAI: Indian spinner Ravindra Jadeja has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee and was also awarded a demerit point by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for applying a soothing cream on his index finger without informing the on-field umpires. 

The spinner, who made a sensational return in the first Test against Australia, sparked a controversy when he was spotted rubbing some substance to his finger with a ball in his hand during the opening day’s play. His mysterious actions even invited allegations of ball tampering.

International Cricket Council on Saturday penalized Jadeja for using ointment on his finger without the umpire’s permission and ruled out any possibility of ball tampering.

“Ravindra Jadeja was found to have breached Article 2.20 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to displaying conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game,” the ICC said on its official website.

“Jadeja admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Andy Pycroft of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing.” 

“In reaching his decision to sanction the player along with the Level 1 sanction he imposed, the Match Referee was satisfied that the cream was applied to the finger purely for medical purposes. The cream was not applied as an artificial substance to the ball and consequently it did not change the condition of the ball, which would have been in breach of clause 41.3 of the ICC playing conditions – Unfair Play – The Match Ball – Changing its Condition.” the statement added.

Jadeja took 5-47 in the first innings and went on to earn a player-of-the-match award after hitting 70 with the bat and then adding two more wickets to help India seal a commanding win in the opening Test by an inning and 132 runs.

Ravindra Jadeja’s alleged ‘ball tampering’ video sparks controversy

Controversy marred Indian spinner Ravindra Jadeja’s sensational comeback after he was spotted rubbing a mysterious substance on the ball on Thursday in the first Test against Australia.

Jaega, who picked up a five-wicket haul on the opening day of the Nagpur Test, was accused of ball tampering after his ‘mysterious’ rubbing video went viral.

The video captured Jadeja taking something off the hand of his teammate Mohammad Siraj with his right hand. He then rubbed his hands and finger near and around the ball though it was uncertain what exactly was happening.

The incident took place in the 46th over of the innings when Australia were batting at 120/5 with Alex Carry and Peter Handscomb at the crease.

A debate has been triggered about alleged tampering by Jadeja since the video went viral on social media.

“Interesting.” replied former Australian captain Tim Paine when the video was shared with him on Twitter.

Similarly former England captain Michael Vaughan tweeted: “What is it he is putting on his spinning finger? Never ever seen this”


Meanwhile, the Indian team denied the accusations and insisted that it was pain-relief cream that Jadeja was applying to the index finger of his bowling hand.

According to ESPNCricinfo, Jadeja along with India captain Rohit Sharma and the team manager were shown the video clip by the match referee Andy Pycroft after the day ended. However, no charge had been laid against Jadeja.

Jadeja bags 5-47 as India dominate Australia in Test opener

NAGPUR: Indian spinner Ravindra Jadeja grabbed a five-wicket haul on his international return as India ruled the opening day of the first Test against Australia on Thursday.

Jadeja returned figures of 5-47 and fellow spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took three wickets to bowl out Australia for 177 in the final session on a turning Nagpur pitch.

In reply, India were 77 for one at stumps, with skipper Rohit Sharma on 56 and Ashwin, yet to score, at the crease. The hosts still trail Australia by 100 runs.

Rohit began by hitting three boundaries off Australian skipper Pat Cummins’ first over, and put on 76 runs with opening partner KL Rahul, who made a laboured 20.

The Indian captain reached his fifty with a four off Nathan Lyon and remained sharp to see off the day’s play.

Rahul fell caught and bowled off debutant spinner Todd Murphy, who celebrated his first Test wicket.

Jadeja, a left-arm orthodox bowler who came back into the Indian side after a knee injury, stood out with his guile, taking key wickets including those of Marnus Labuschagne (49) and Steve Smith (37).

Both Australians had launched a fightback with their third-wicket 82-run stand after losing openers Usman Khawaja and David Warner early in the day.

Peter Handscomb (31) and wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey (36) also put on a partnership of 53 before Ashwin ended Carey’s spell at the crease to record his 450th Test wicket.

Jadeja’s double strike on successive balls soon after lunch rocked the tourists as he sent back Labuschagne and then trapped Matt Renshaw for a first-ball duck.

He later bowled Smith with a delivery that went through his bat and pad.

Ashwin and Jadeja kept up the charge to get into the Australian tail when the tourists took tea at 174-8, and added just three runs in the final session.

Earlier, seamer Mohammed Siraj struck on his first ball to get Khawaja trapped lbw for one with a delivery that swung in to the left-hander, after the tourists elected to bat at the start of the four-match series.

An appeal was turned down by the on-field umpire but India successfully reviewed the decision.

Mohammed Shami raised the noise in the next over when the seamer bowled the left-handed Warner for one.

Australia controversially left out in-form left-hand batsman Travis Head, while India handed Test caps to Twenty20 sensation Suryakumar Yadav and wicketkeeper Srikar Bharat.

Ravindra Jadeja to miss T20 World Cup as well: Indian media

NEW DELHI: Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is likely to be left out of India’s T20 World Cup campaign as he will undergo serious knee surgery which will keep him out of action for an extended period. 

Jadeja, who played a crucial knock in India’s successful run chase against Pakistan in the high-octane clash of the ongoing Asia Cup 2022, was earlier ruled out of the continental event due to a knee injury.

“Jadeja’s right knee injury is pretty serious. He is supposed to undergo a major knee surgery and will be out of action for indefinite period of time. At this point, if one goes by the assessment of the NCA’s medical team, one can’t put a timeline on his imminent international comeback,” said a senior BCCI official as reported by Indian media.

Reportedly, Jadeja will be out of action for at least three months despite the true extent of his injury is not confirmed yet.

The left-arm spinner is also known for his hard-hitting skills and for the last few years he had undertaken the role of match finisher for India.

Ravindra Jadeja to miss first two ODIs against West Indies due to injury

PORT OF SPAIN: Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been ruled out of the first two matches of the recently-commenced ODI series against West Indies following a gruelling knee injury.

The all-rounder sustained an injury to his right knee, which prevented him from participating in the first ODI today and is likely to miss the second also, as the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI), confirmed on Friday.

“Team India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has sustained an injury to his right knee and has been ruled out of the first two ODIs against West Indies,” said BCCI in an official statement.

“The BCCI Medical team is monitoring his progress and a decision on his participation in the third ODI will be taken accordingly,” the cricket board added.

 

According to the details, Shreyas Iyer will take up the role of vice-captain in Jadeja’s absence as several regulars like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Jasprit Bumrah had already been rested for the series.

Jadeja, bowlers shine as India blunt England to claim series victory

BIRMINGHAM: Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja scored an unbeaten 46 before the bowlers wreaked havoc over the England batting line-up to power the touring side to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series.

Indian bowlers dominated the hosts’ batting line-up, bowling them out for 121, resulting in a comprehensive 49-run victory in the second T20I.

Following England captain Jos Buttler’s invitation to bat first, Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant provided a solid start for the touring side, charging the hosts’ bowlers with a dominant approach in the powerplay.

The openers, however, could not keep going for long as England’s debutant Richard Gleeson claimed his maiden international wicket by removing Rohit for 31. He faced 20 deliveries and smashed three boundaries and two sixes in the course of his blistering knock.

The rest of the Indian batters then could not capitalize on the solid foundation as they kept walking back to the pavilion after making small contributions.

Gleeson continued to shine on his debut as he removed former top-ranked batter Virat Kohli (1) and another opener Pant to increase his tally to three. Pant scored a quickfire 26 off 15 deliveries with the help of four boundaries and a six.

England right-arm veteran pacer Chris Jordan then wreaked havoc over the Indian middle-order and began to claim wickets at an astonishing rate and soon caused India to slip to 89/5 in the 11th over.

Following another brief collapse, Indian all-rounder Jadeja stood up for his team and played a gritty unbeaten knock of 46 and bolstered the touring side to a commendable total of 170/8 with his late power-hitting, while the tailenders were making their way back with paltry contributions. He faced just 29 deliveries and smashed five boundaries.

For England, debutant Gleeson impressed with three wickets, while Jordan bagged four for 27 in his four overs.

Set to chase 171, the English batting line-up failed completely and could only manage to score 121 before being bowled out in 17 overs.

All-rounder Moeen Ali and David Willey, resisted a bit against the firing Indian bowling with their gritty knocks, while the rest of the batters seemed clueless.

Moeen top-scored for the side with a quickfire 35 off 21 balls, laced with three boundaries and two sixes, while Willey remained unbeaten with 33 off 22 deliveries with the same tally of boundaries.

For India, Bhuvneshwar Kumar led the way with three wickets, while Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal bagged two each. Harshal Patel and Hardik Pandya, on the other hand, struck out a batter each.

Dhawan to lead India in West Indies ODIs, Jadeja named as deputy

NEW DELHI: India’s left-handed opening batter Shikhar Dhawan has been named as the ODI captain for the forthcoming tour of the West Indies, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, on the other hand, has been named the vice-captain.

The Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) has put faith in young players for the upcoming task against West Indies as designated captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, and Mohammed Shami have all been given rest for the three-match series.

Dhawan will be leading the Men in Blue for the second time in ODIs after the limited-overs tour to Sri Lanka in 2021.

The 16-member Indian squad marked the comeback of right-handed batter Shubman Gill, who last played an ODI for India in 2020. Sanju Samson, on the other hand, will be making his comeback after a year.

 

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Avesh Khan, and Deepak Hooda, on the other hand, have also been included in the squad after being left out of the ODI squad in England.

India’s designated vice-captain KL Rahul was not considered for selection as he recently underwent surgery for a sports hernia.

It is pertinent to mention here that India will be touring West Indies later this month and will contest in three ODIs and five T20Is. The BCCI will announce the T20I squad in a due course.

Pant’s century rescues India after early collapse on the opening day

BIRMINGHAM: India’s wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant bailed off the touring side from the horror with a magnificent knock of 146 runs after the English pacemen tested the top order on the opening day of the rescheduled fifth Test.

With the touring side struggling at 98/5, Pant and Ravindra Jadeja came to the rescue and put on an astounding 222-run partnership to see off the trouble.

At the toss of the rescheduled fifth Test between the two sides, England’s newly-appointed captain Ben Stokes put the touring side into bat first after the coin flipped in his favour.

Batting first, India were off to a dismal start as the veteran pacer James Anderson removed both their openers Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara cheaply for a combined score of 46. Gill scored 17, while Pujara could only add 13 to his name.

Following the early horror, Hanuma Vihari and the former Indian captain Virat Kohli looked to anchor the innings and batted sensibly in a bid to ease the pressure.

However, Matthew Potts’s successive strikes trumped their effort; removing both the batters in a span of exactly two overs and causing India to slip to 71/4. The right-arm pacer trapped Vihari in his legs for 20 before casting the former top-ranked batter Kohli for 11.

Anderson then struck his third to add to the touring side’s misery as he removed Shreyas Iyer for a mere 15, courtesy of an astonishing catch behind the wicket by Sam Billings.

Pant and Jadeja then stood up for their side and batted sensibly to avoid the horror as they batted for around 39 overs and added 222 runs at a rapid pace.

The pair appeared unmoved with Pant amassing his fifth Test century on just 89 deliveries and Jadeja bringing up his outstanding half-century.

However, the England captain’s unusual tactics worked for him as the part-timer Joe Root struck gold for his side in just his third over; removing the dangerous Pant, who fell just four short of his 150. In his terrific knock of 144, the left-hander faced just 111 deliveries and smashed 23 boundaries including four sixes.

Following Pant’s exit, Stokes wasted no time to draw another success for his side as he removed the tailender, Shardul Thakur, for one in the next over.

The pair of Jadeja and Mohammed Shami then batted for the remaining five overs and added a crucial 15 runs to the team’s total before the rain-hit opening day concluded with India stable at 338/7.

Jadeja, who is just 17 short of his third Test hundred and Shami (0*) will now resume the proceedings for the touring side on the second day.

For England, Anderson shone again with three wickets, while Potts bagged two. Skipper Stokes, on the other hand, made one scalp.

Jadeja’s all-round heroics propel India to crush Sri Lanka in the first Test

MOHALI: India’s all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja shone with bat and bowl to power the home side to seal a crushing victory by an innings and 222 runs against Sri Lanka in the first Test, here on Sunday.

Jadeja first scored an unbeaten 175 runs then bettered it with a total of nine wickets in the first match. The left-handed all-rounder became the only cricketer in the world to achieve such a feat.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, resuming at an overnight score of 103/4, could only manage to score 174 before being bowled out. The top-order batter Pathum Nissanka fought hard with his 61, while the rest of the batters remained clueless against Indian bowlers.

For India, their hero of the first Test – Jadeja bagged a five-fer, while Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah picked two wickets each. Mohammed Shami, on the other hand, made one scalp.

After bowling out the opposition for a skimpy 178, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma decided to enforce the follow-on and invited the touring side to bat again.

In the second innings, Sri Lankan batters failed again and could only score 174 before bowling out. Niroshan Dickwella fought hard this time for the Lions while the rest of the batters failed to save the match for the touring side and as a result, India sealed a crushing victory by an innings and 222 runs.

For India, Jadeja led the way again but with Ashwin; claiming four wickets each, while Shami picked two this time around.
