India vs Australia 1st Test, Day 1: Jadeja said, ‘The wicket was getting natural variety, but I also tried different angles.’ Were.
With the pitch not turning on the opening day of the first Test against Australia, Ravindra Jadeja had to cleverly use the crease to dodge the batsmen. Jadeja returned to international cricket after about five months, taking five wickets for 47 runs. This included the valuable wickets of Marnus Labushen and Steve Smith. The Australian team could only manage 177 runs in the first innings on the first day of the first match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Jadeja said after the first day’s play, ‘It was not a turning pitch. It was slow compared to other pitches and the bounce was also less. As the game progresses, it will be difficult to chase the target, but that is what happens in Test cricket.
He said, ‘I used the crease because every ball was not turning. The bounce was also slow, so I confused the batsmen. He said, ‘I was going out of the crease and putting the ball near the stump. In such a situation, there is a possibility of getting a wicket if the batsman comes out and plays. Labushen and Smith made the same mistake. He said that his intention was that the Australians should be confused as to which ball would turn and which would hit straight.
Jadeja said, ‘The wicket was getting natural variety, but I also tried different angles.’ Jadeja took seven wickets in the second innings while playing a Ranji Trophy match for Saurashtra against Tamil Nadu last month. He said, ‘I bowled with good rhythm today. The ball was coming well in my hands and the length was also accurate. I tried bowling on the stumps. Jadeja said that breaking the partnership of Smith and Labushen was in his mind. They were trying to score runs and rotating the strike was not easy. They were trying different things. The pitch was not getting turn and I had to bowl disciplined to break this partnership.
