‘Karte nahi hai ho jaata hai’ - Fans slam Ravindra Jadeja for his bowling no-balls against Australia in Indore Test

Team India locked horns with Australia in the third Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Indore on 1 March 2023. Ravindra Jadeja was the star of the show in the first two matches for his all-around show. His contributions both with the bat and ball were crucial as he won the player of the match award on both occasions.

In two matches, Jadeja took 17 wickets while scoring 96 runs in two innings. So, fans were hoping for such form again from the star all-rounder in Indore also. But, he made headlines in this series for bowling no balls. In the Nagpur Test, he took the last wicket of Australia in their second innings when Jadeja bowled Steve Smith.

But, Smith survived as it was a no-ball. Now, in the Indore Test, the Men in Blue won the toss and opted to bat first. The batters failed miserably as they got bundled out for just 109 runs in 33.2 overs. Ravindra Jadeja scored only four runs off nine balls. But, India made a good start with the ball as Jadeja took the wicket of Travis Head. In his second over, Jadeja disturbed the furniture of Marnus Labuschagne for a duck. But, it happened to be a no-ball as Jadeja overstepped. So, fans were not happy as Labuschange survived and they slammed him on the social media platform.

While speaking about it on Star Sports, the former team India skipper, Sunil Gavaskar said that it is unacceptable for a spinner to bowl a no-ball. He said: "This is not acceptable. He has a couple of man-of-the-match awards but a spinner bowling no ball is a crime. I think Paras Mhambrey has to sit down with him and make him bowl from behind. This could cost India." However, after 49 overs, the Aussie scored 146 runs for four wickets. Jadeja has managed to take all those four wickets so far.

Here are some tweets to slam Ravindra Jadeja for bowling no-balls in the Indore Test:
