In the first ODI against Australia in Canberra on Friday, a short ball from Mitchell Starc hit the edge of Jadeja’s bat in the helmet. The ball flew to the spot, the fielder couldn’t catch it.
Jadeja kept hitting even after that injury. His stormy 44-on-23 innings saved the team from disaster. His concussion was not proven in the field. He was not seen with much discomfort. Rather, his hamstrings appeared to be tense. But due to the helmet injury, India eliminated Yuzbendra Chehel as a ‘concussion surrogate’ for Jadeja while bowling.
After the match, the Indian team’s medical team said that Jadeja’s concussion was confirmed by scoring in the middle. For now, it will be under observation. The decision will be rescanned later.
There is also controversy over the transfer of Jadeja’s concussion in this match. Australian coach Justin Langer was seen talking to match referee David Boone during the match. Australian captain Aaron Finch was also present. Annoyance was evident in Langer’s expression.
Chehel changed the game’s turn. Australia got off to a great start in hitting but lost their way at Chehel bowling. Best leg spinner of the match with 3 wickets in India’s 11-run win.
According to the rules, India is supposed to get the conversion transfer. However, at the end of the game, all-rounder Moisés Henriques said they have no objections to the transfer. But Australia’s skepticism is about who has been replaced. As a rule, you have to be the exact same cricketer to be replaced. But Jadeja is a left arm finger spinner, Chehel is a right handed wrist spinner. Jadeja as well as the batter, Chehel hit 10-11. Henriques said Australia would not raise the issue further.
