new Delhi. In the first T20 match against Australia, India was included in the playing eleven by leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal in place of all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. However, the decision has come under severe criticism. A ball from Mitchell Starc was hit on Jadeja’s helmet, but before that he was troubled by a leg injury. Later in the match, captain Virat Kohli and Sanju Samson had said that they were feeling dizzy after the end of the innings.
Chahal came to fielding in place of Jadeja and also bowled the match Jitau, but many former cricketers find it unfair, as no physio came to the ground to investigate Jadeja. Jadeja returned to bat brilliantly and unbeaten pavilion. After that, when he did not come to fielding and India introduced Yuzvendra Chahal as a concussion substitute, Australian coach Justin Langer expressed displeasure and also talked to match referee David Boon that Jadeja had a hamstring.
On the other hand, former batsman and cricket commentator of the Indian team, Sanjay Manjrekar has also surprised on this decision and has also questioned the ICC criticizing the decision of the Indian team. He said on the official broadcast channel of the match, “Very happy indeed that he (Chahal) got that opportunity and I think Virat was also very honest to accept that the fate had changed, he had bowled some such bowler Bowled better than he probably could not in his four overs. Chahal was a huge bonus and thank God that India was able to land 160 and it all became possible. ”
However, he went on to say, “But now, after this there is a lot of thought going on about the concussion substrate. The whole concept is purely because we are players – all of us – who have rules with good intentions.” We have gone, but we are trying to find loopholes in those rules for our benefit. Whether India took any advantage, we do not know, but need to look at the ICC, so that no single team has such a big advantage. “
