IND vs AUS: Unhappy Aus Say Jadeja Replacement Should Have Been Like-For-Like
The Australia team on Friday said that they were fine with Ravindra Jadeja being replaced by a concussion substitute after the first innings but their main contention was that it should have been a like-for-like replacement and not a leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.
Chahal picked three for 25 to win the man-of-the-match award and help India win the first T20 International. The wickets he took were of captain Aaron Finch, Steve Smith and Matthew Wade. He had come in place of Jadeja, who was hit on the head in the last over by a delivery from Mitchell Starc. Jadeja had earlier struggled with a hamstring injury in the 19th over and it seemed likely that he wouldn't even be able to field, let alone bowl.
