IND vs AUS: The Indian cricket team’s management has informed the International Cricket Council (ICC) match referee, Andy Pycroft, that star spinner Ravindra Jadeja was using a “pain-relieving cream” on his bowling hand during the first day of the Nagpur Test against Australia.

What had happened during the IDN vs AUS test?

Jadeja had already taken the wickets of Steven Smith, Matt Renshaw, and Marnus Labuschagne during the game when the incident occurred. Although the event garnered attention, the Australian team did not bring it to the attention of the match referee. However, the match referee has the authority to investigate incidents like this independently without a complaint being made. As per the Laws of Cricket, a bowler must get the umpire’s approval before applying any substance to their hands to ensure the condition of the ball is not impacted.

Despite the controversy surrounding Jadeja’s use of a substance on his finger, he made a spectacular comeback by taking five wickets against Australia in the first innings. Ravichandran Ashwin also took three wickets, while Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami each took one. India went on to score 77/1 at stumps on day one, trailing Australia by 100 runs with nine wickets in hand.

In any case, the controversy has cast a shadow over an otherwise exciting and hard-fought Test match between India and Australia. As one of the most prestigious and historic rivalries in world cricket, fans are eager to see how the teams will perform in the upcoming matches and who will come out on top in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
