Jadeja was hit on the head by a Mitchell Starc goalie in the last over of the Indian innings, but before that he was seen limping as he ran between the grounds. They were unbeaten with 44 of 23 balls, helping India score 161/7 which was ultimately enough to win the match by 11 runs.

“He (Jadeja) will no longer participate in the ongoing T20I series. The All India Senior Selection Committee has added Shardul Thakur to the India T20I team,” BCCI said in a statement. The BCCI said Jadeja remains under observation and will be taken for further scans if necessary based on the assessment on Saturday morning. “Ravindra Jadeja suffered a concussion after receiving a blow to the left side of the forehead in the last over of the first inning of the first T20I against Australia in Canberra on December 4, 2020,” said BCCI. “The diagnosis was confirmed based on a clinical evaluation in the locker room during the inning break by the BCCI medical team,” he added.
