"Lunch ni kiya tabhi no ball and 2 reviews kha liye" - Fans troll Ravindra Jadeja for no ball and burning two reviews on Day 1 of IND vs AUS 3rd Test
Ravindra Jadeja failed to deliver on Day 1 of the third Test against Australia at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Wednesday, March 1. The all-rounder first got out for just four runs as Team India got bowled out for 109 runs in 33.2 overs. The left-arm spinner then took the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne off a no-ball.
The incident took place on the first ball of the fourth over when the batter dragged the length ball onto the stumps. It was Jadeja’s second no ball of the match and the third instance while picking up a wicket in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Jadeja also wasted a couple of reviews in the sixth and 10th over against Australian opener Usman Khawaja.
Fans were disappointed with Ravindra Jadeja’s off-day on the field and felt that the no balls and reviews could cost Team India the ongoing Test match.
One fan wrote on Twitter:
"Lagta hai aaj Jadeja ne Lunch ni kiya tabhi no ball and 2 reviews kha liye? (Looks like Jadeja didn't had lunch today, so he ate no ball and two reviews)."
@Atulsingh_asan @sagarcasm Lagta hai aaj Jadeja ne lunch ni kiya tabhi no ball and 2 reviews kha liye ?? @imjadeja

- Bowling on Indian pitches 😍
- Batting down the order 😎
- Taking wickets on No Balls 😠
- Wasting DRS chances 😡

BC Jadeja takes a wicket on a no ball. Its abdolutely not acceptable that a spinner bowls a No- ball. Just not Acceptable. Bowling coach needs to work with him. Third time it has happened that he has taken a wicket on a No- ball.

Very poor captaincy from Rohit.
Jadeja appeals for every thing as a captain you should know when to take review and when to not.
Labushange got 2 life lines already wow. Dismissed for a duck it was a no ball, and Rohit didn't take review which was plumb 🤷🏻♂️🤦
