Ravindra Jadeja gives strong reply to Nagpur pitch critics after Day 1 of 1st Test says this wicket is not a rank turner

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy would not have been discussed as much in the last two days as the Nagpur pitch. However, after the first day of the first Test match, one thing was decided that there was not much turn on the first day, but the spinners definitely dominated. No ball was seen in such a way that the quality of the pitch could be questioned. In such a situation, Team India’s all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has given a befitting reply to those who criticized the pitch.

Ravindra Jadeja, who returned figures of 5 for 47 on Day 1 of the first Test against Australia, made it clear that it is neither a doctored pitch nor a rank turner, with uneven bounce and excessive turn from day one. “No no, it’s not a rank-turner at all. The bounce is low compared to other pitches in India and the wicket is slow. It wasn’t difficult to defend today,” he said at the press conference after the day’s play.

He further said, “As the Test match progresses, we can see more turn, but it is natural everywhere.” The pitch on which not a single Australian batsman could score a half-century. On the same pitch, Team India’s captain and opener Rohit Sharma easily hit fours and sixes and completed the half-century. He returned unbeaten till the end of the day. However, KL Rahul got out cheaply. Australia had scored 177 runs.

Fierce debate between Dinesh Karthik and Mark Waugh during the commentary, know what both said to each other?

After a long time in international cricket, especially in Test cricket, he said about his bowling, “The ball was coming out of the hands well, my line and length were also good. There is not much bounce in the wicket. So I was bowling stump to stump. I was paying attention. I knew, if I do that, I can bring LBWs and bowled into the game.” The same happened when he clean bowled a batsman like Steve Smith.
