Jadeja was at his very best as he ran through the Australian middle order. The southpaw dismissed Marnus Labuschagne and Matt Renshaw and put Australia on the backfoot in the ongoing first Test in Nagpur. He followed it up with wickets of Steve Smith, Todd Murphy and Peter Handscomb. Jadeja, who is making a comeback after a knee injury, proved his worth immediately.
A video made its way to social media, showing Jadeja receiving something from his teammate Mohammed Siraj and then applying and rubbing that on his left index finger, something that had Australian media and a former player interested.

When a fan shared the footage with former Australia captain Tim Paine, he replied, “interesting”. David Warner and Steve Smith, who are part of the visiting side, served bans for their role in the ball-tampering scandal in 2018 in South Africa. The Australian media were quick to latch onto it, suggesting ball tampering on Jadeja’s part.
However, a BCCI source told PTI that it was an “ointment for pain relief for the sore finger”.
